Ollie's first smoothie

The first one he’s been interested in actually trying anyhow.  Banana, strawberries, peaches, acai, spinach, and a splash of rice milk.

Despite that sour face, he had already had several tastes of it and liked it enough for me to pour some into a cup of his own.  He drank more afterwards, too.  Silly guy. [...]

Bubbles

We love bubbles around here.  Who doesn’t?

We wasted so much bubble solution from spills last year.  A friend recently introduced me to the ‘no spill’ bottles.  I am so incredibly thankful!

That same friend introduced us to this huge bubble maker.  Fun and easy for the kids to manipulate.

Happy Weekending.

April showers...

Ollie’s ‘huh?’ face

This morning we headed out to the Bayou City Farmer’s market to do a little shopping and meet up with some friends.  I used to go to this market often when we lived closer.  It’s gotten much bigger since I had last been and I’ve missed it [...]

A belated gift

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not known for my timeliness.  I do try, but sometimes I get over ambitious or life just gets in the way.  It makes me laugh to see that I bought this fabric way back in April of 2009!  I had this project in mind for a very long [...]

Fun - inside and out

Despite my feeling not so great today, we managed to get quite a bit of things accomplished.  We started off the morning with a trip to the nursery to pick up a few plants.  They didn’t have what I had set out to get, but we came home with a few lovelies and [...]

the Great Outdoor challenge

This month we are going to participate in the great outdoor challenge.  To join in, all you need to do is get outside each day and take a pic of your kids enjoying nature.  Getting outside is the easy part for us.  Taking and uploading a pic will be a challenge for me.  Some days [...]

Time to play catch up...

We’ve been busy.

Catapulting paint-filled balloons and watching them splat on umbrellas.

Making sun prints…

Dancing around while enjoying music and nature.

Spending time with friends.
