Produce from the garden earlier in the summer. Recently we have had an abundance of tomatoes and peppers but they are tapering off and I am working on getting some fall plants in the ground.
This is how Evelyn looks about 5 minutes after getting outside. Every.single.time Eventually I learned to either immediately dump the pool or just be mentally prepared that we were all going to be soaked.
Yum...the handle tastes soooo good! For some reason it took her a little while to figure out the right way to eat juice pops.
Multitasking.
The chickens are growing! And Brett build me a pretty awesome chicken coop, of which I will post pictures...sometime, eventually, maybe, hopefully.
We have been quite crafty recently. I have tried to have a "craft time" with the children almost every day, even if it's just coloring. Both children really enjoy playing with this homemade playdough.
A birthday cake for Mommy! Nate even sang for me. As you can see, we consider clothes to be optional in the summertime.
And then licked the candles...because it wouldn't be a proper birthday otherwise.
Since we have had lots of tomatoes, I have made fried tomatoes and eggs for myself quite often. No one else in the family cares for them, which is perfectly fine with me. =) Sometimes I even make the tomatoes all by themselves for a mid-day snack. They melt in your mouth but have a bit of a sweet crunch on the outside. These always remind me of my dad, who taught me how to make them.
More playdough fun.
Looks like some nice summer days!
