DAD!
This post is just for you. Thanks for helping me with my garden this year.
By "helping" I mean thank you for:
- digging out the sod
- tilling the dirt (with a shovel, no fancy garden tools here)
- buying the seeds
-putting the seeds into the ground

Obviously, couldn't have done it without you...

Making Pancakes!

Jackson - come out and visit and we'll make more!

note to readers:
Maddie's list of ingredients included --
flour
flour on the floor
flour on the counter
flour on her feet
and of course, flour on her lip.
Yummy.

FYI - Flour and water DO make glue...

Cup Drinking.

SLPs are always droning on and on about "the importance of cup drinking". Sigh. I am going to admit to being Mother of the Year here and say: "Thank you Candis and Joy {daycare staff to the stars} for teaching Maddie to drink from a cup! Nice work, girls!"

Salmon (she actually says it now, no more "malmon") remains the hands down winner for
Best All Around Supper.

Kelly - this post is for you because I miss ya lots!

To answer your question (and give you a little trip down memory lane...)




Fake:





Real:
(and a maybe just a little bit moldy)

Also real.
And maybe just a little bit embarassing....

Dreams do come true.
Sometimes, you just have to take measures into your own hands.
Finally, after more than 25 years, I live in a house with a play doh hair dressing set.
Check that off my To Do list.

YES, I did let Maddie play too...
(but she kept mixing all the playdoh together. sigh.)

"seep o' see-oh!"
direct translation: sip of cereal
Daddy and Maddie eat breakfast together every morning. Can you tell?
