Monday

Yesterday afternoon I let the kids play outside. I had the back door open and was cleaning the kitchen while they played in the backyard. They played so good. I went out to check on them if things got too quiet. They were playing in the dirt and digging. I had to give my two a bath when they came in. I'm sure Zack's mom had to do the same. They were outside for about 2 hours. This is what I found when I went out to check on them one time: Alex was hiding in the turtle sandbox. He was having a great time in there getting all dirty. I have realized that Alex is a little dirt magnet!

Alex was already asleep when I got home from Zumba at 8:00. He was tired. This is how I found him asleep in my bed: Yep, that's a Barbie leg he is holding in his hand.


I had to run some errands yesterday morning and The Littles were so good while we were out. I think they are getting tired of sitting in the house.


I have two new recipes to post tomorrow. I tried one over the weekend and it rolls over into another recipe. They are Rachael Ray recipes and I have to say this is the first of her recipes that I have made that didn't frustrate me and make me want to throw the cookbook away. I bought RR's Yum-O cookbook and it's wonderful. Most of the recipes are kids friendly and each recipe has a list of the things kids can help you do! So, I will post the recipes tomorrow.
