More This & That...

Just a few of the many, many, many things we've been doing this week!



Digging and sifting through the sandbox for our "dinosaur fossils" that we made last week. The boys loved this!



Sutton feeding goldfish crackers to Crocky the Turtle. After he fed him, he set up another little scene where it looked like Crocky was swimming in the ocean with all the goldfish lol. Goofy kid.



We stopped by the library to pick up some new books, and the boys sat in their favorite big comfy chair and watched some video books for awhile. It was "Things That Go" week at the library, so we pretty much wiped out the display of car, train and truck books that the librarian had so thoughtfully set out for us lol.



Mitch's Father's Day present arrived in it's original packaging, despite the fact that I checked the "This Item is a Gift" box, and it was supposed to arrive in a plain unmarked box. Mitch came home and walked right on to the front porch to discover the huge hammock box waiting for him - boooo, Kohl's! So, happy early Father's Day, I guess! He set it up in the house to test it out and spent the rest of the evening relaxing and watching the NBA finals from his new hammock. It actually has a nice striped cushion that goes on top of the ropes, but he just hadn't put it on yet when I snapped this pic.



The boys and I baked homemade soft pretzels from scratch on Friday. They looked great, but they were pretty bland for my taste. The boys ate 'em right up though!

Our snow peas are ready for their first harvest!

Sawyer especially loved helping me pick the snow peas...in fact, he loved picking things so much that he also picked one of our teeny green peppers that was no where near done growing as well as my ONLY itty bitty green tomato that was growing on one of my plants. Sadly, aside from the snow peas, our garden isn't doing so well. I think that it really just needs more morning sun than it's getting.
