How to make crackers

In approximately two steps. Easy!

Cooking with kids, part 1

Every once in a while, magic happens and we discover an easy and safe way to integrate the girls into cooking. Taco salad is one of those meals.

Here we have Wily painting tortillas (and she loves to say tortilla!).


Jeneric is getting fairly handy with a measuring spoon.


And both girls have figured out how to rip lettuce.


Ask Wily how it tasted...

Delicious!

Gymnastics

The girls tumbled their way through summer at our local gymnastics center. Here they are at the end, showing off their ta das.

Mugging

Visitors

In the book, Madeline, visitors are only allowed from 2 - 4. Lucky for Jeneric and Toddler Wily - our visitors got to stay nearly two weeks!

There was pea picking and shelling (Toddler Wily sat and shelled peas for over an hour!).


Visiting the air museum.


And reading with Grammy.

A little night music

An impromptu jam session, complete with a cat-faced piano and tinker bell costume.

In an old house in Paris

The girls are on a kick for Madeline and our local library indulged them last week with a Madeline reading hour and a craft. The hat is really pretty clever (all paper plates/bowls) and the girls had a blast painting.
