Local Wildlife

Our youngest found this little bird - It had something wrong with its eyes - like maybe it was blind.  Poor thing.  We enjoyed tenderly looking at her and talking about her for a bit, then we set her in a safe place in hopes she would do well in her life...

Choose from basic shapes, curved shapes, scalloped edges, geometric and ornate designs for flat press printed cards. Boutique Cards are available in quantities as low as 25, and envelopes are included with 5x5 and 5x7 sizes.

August's first day at school

It's always great to see my kids excited about things.  August is excited about school...how cool is that?!  This will be his second year of preschool - this time for 4 year olds.  He's already made some great friends and is loving to learn.  I'll bask in his excitement now...Kids, they grow up too fast. 

Anyway, thought I'd share some pics from his first day.

I love making cookies with my kids!

I absolutely LOVE making cookies with my kids!  It's our thing.  We do it nearly every month.  This time I went out of my box and tried a cookie recipe I found on pinterest (man you can get lost on pinterest!).  Found a few recipes on that site now that I have tried and liked actually.  



http://pinterest.com/ - Beware! It will consume you!
http://tendercrumb.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-favorite-chocolate-chip-cookie.html For this cookie recipe - Shared them with bunches of people and they all liked them.  I encourage you to bake with your kiddos too!  Get messy!  Eat too much cookie dough and cookies before supper and no one will EVER complain!  We're sure to eat some carrot sticks later to balance it all out   = )
