J..h lost another tooth and bought a kite with her money. We had to wait almost a week for some windy enough weather but it finally came. We have a nice open field across the street from our house that is perfect for kite flying.
We needed a treat for family night last week and I was not about to turn on the oven and we were out of ice cream. I was in the mood for something sweet and gooey. I hade one can of peaches so I whipped up a crumble with oats, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. I layered the sliced peaches in the bottom of the tins sprinkled on the crumble and cooked them for 15 minutes in the toaster oven at 375. They came out warm, crispy and gooey. Now I can make crisp whenever my heart desires and still beat the heat.
J..h helped me create a lunch menu for the summer. I wanted to avoid whining and indecision at lunch time. Since she had school lunches she was great at coming up with new ideas. Her favorite at school was a Pizza Bagel so we made our own.
We have also made crescent cheese dogs and “red noodles” (a home made version of Spaghetti O’s- macaroni noodles in tomato soup with grated cheese on top). We have to plan a new menu for the week so if you have any lunch favorites please pass them along.
Once we got moved in it was life as normal, with one exception…no school for the summer. Having been so busy moving and vacationing I did not appreciate having J..a home to play with her sisters. Since we don’t have new play mates yet it is such a blessing that J..h and S..a are best friends.
Their tent started as a house but then became their favorite store…
J..h is learning how to deal with S..a mood swings very effectively.
The girls helped me paint the boards for a new dress up closet.
I just love J..ah’s Super Star pose. Work it Girl! They sure are pretty princesses.
Even Biddy played her part.
