Photo Challenge, Day 11: Something Fun

Ice cream for supper. At the park. In the sunshine and the 70's. Life is fun.

Photo Challenge, Day 7: Something new

Since I have been able to get yeast to work, I went out and bought two more loaf pans. And then I tried my hand at english muffin toasting bread. Heavenly. I just love english muffins- how the little pockets catch the butter that you smother on it. MMMMMmmmm. While I was so busy doing that and not tending to my kids, a few things happened that NEVER have happened on my watch.
A kid with a grubby little face,

Another playing with something that isn't a toy, (I know, I'll get them back to you- we passed the mark where we are safe. Didn't want to jinx it. I'll be wanting a cup of coffee when they enter your hands, though.)
A messy house?! WHAT?! For the first time ever? Hoo boy.
Obviously, it wouldn't have been from my kids. Don't let his shy-act fool you. I'm guessing he was the one that caused all three firsts. ;)

It just goes to show, there is a first time for everything.

New Food Blog!

Somebody from my hometown started a blog as a school project. And she needs our support.
Check it out!! Looks fabulous to me.

Photo Challenge, Day 6: Childhood Memory

I had a really happy childhood. Minus our move from Michigan to Minnesota, my life was pretty easy. And I have a lot of good childhood memories. A lot of little things that added up to one big happy. And I try my hardest to pay it forward to my kids. This is one those littles that hopefully makes the cut. (a little science museum for kids)Yes, I took my kids solo. Yes, I want a medal. Or a chest to pin it on. Or a cookie.

Think about it, if they combined forces, they could really do me in on an outing like this.
But, they didn't. So, I shall take them again.
And, yes, I may have planned this outing mostly for the photo ops. The colors were awesome. I had a really hard time trying to decide how to edit these pictures. They looked fabulous in any option, including as is. (There are tons more where these came from.)
Don't judge me- my reasons for going really don't matter in the long run, as long as these kiddos store this trip in their hard drive. And it makes them happy. And it had me remembering the MN Science Museum that I went to as a kid. What kid doesn't love a science museum, even if you aren't into science?
