Picture of the Week: Lincoln Logs
We went to a “Pioneer Experience” farm on a homeschool field trip with some friends of ours. One of the highlights was building with giant Lincoln Logs.
Happy weekending :).

Picture of the Week: Perfect Form
Maybe, just maybe, teaching him to write will be a breeze ;).
Have a great weekend!

Picture of the Week: Rodeo
When we go grocery shopping, I sometimes let the kids ride the mechanical horse afterward if they’ve behaved in the store. This day, they all rode together instead of Seahawk and Munchkin having separate rides and each taking Small Fry (I don’t trust him to ride on his own yet).
Have a great weekend!

Picture of the Week: Big Kids
We went to the zoo again this week. When we signed up for the summer reading program, we each received a free pass to visit the zoo, so we buddied up the trip with my mom’s birthday and went with her and my stepdad. Hubby had fun being just another one of the boys!
Have an amazing weekend.

Picture of the Week: Naptime
Small Fry is at the stage now where when he’s tired, he’ll climb up to where I am and snuggle in for a nap. No prodding from me required :). Yesterday, I didn’t even bother moving him from the couch; I just let him slumber there while I worked on a new quilt. But don’t worry – I checked on him often to make sure he didn’t roll off!
For the record, these two pictures were taken at different times during the week.
Enjoy the weekend!

Picture of the Week: Rough Housing
The boys were wrestling around while we were painting hubby’s desk the other day. Fun!
I’ll have an explanation for so few posts this toward the end of next week. Happy weekend!

Happy Birthday, Small Fry
That’s right: my baby is 1! So instead of the normal Picture of the Week, I’m going to share a photo essay of his first year. Some of the pictures you’ve seen before, some you haven’t. Enjoy :).
Have a wonderful weekend. Mine will be full of cake baking and decorating and a party :).

Picture of the Week: Happy Birthday Hubs
As I mentioned on Wednesday, today is my hubby’s birthday. The two days of us being the same age are over, and he’s a year ahead of me again. In honor of his birthday, I thought I’d share one of his comics.
As Mom to three boys, I often feel this way! Both in the “quit shooting your brother” way and the “I don’t know anything” (about the way the play) way. Lol!
If you’re interested in reading more comics, click here to read some of the older ones online. You can also buy the book securely online here. Or the other book from Amazon. I’m not sure why he has one book on Amazon and not the other. *shrug*
I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day! Have a great weekend.

Picture of the Week: Snuffles
Small Fry has been very into mimicking lately. His latest trick has been wrinkling up his nose and making a snuffling sound. And when you do it back to him, he just gets going more and more. It’s really funny :).
Have a wonderful weekend!

Picture of the Week: Baking Bread
I’ve recently been serving only homemade bread instead of store-bought, and since it wasn’t hot yesterday, I made it bread baking day. I use this recipe from “the mrs” – I tried a few and this one is by far our favorite. I make a few modifications, though. Her recipe calls for honey, and since babies can’t have honey for their first year, I substitute agave nectar so Small Fry can enjoy it. I only own 2 loaf pans, so I cut the recipe in half. And I don’t have a stand mixer, so I do it all by hand. Oh, and she grinds her own flour; I don’t have the ability to do that, so I use half all purpose (I buy it in 25 pound bags) and half whole wheat. Considering all my modifications, I’m sure hers is much better! lol. But it’s still amazing bread.
Anyway, so the picture. When it was time for the kneading process, Munchkin wanted to help. So of course I let him :).
Happy First Day of Summer!
