Mothers Day in the Mountains

"Engine"

Someone from the preschool sent Henry some of his old dress up clothes today and as you can imagine he is so excited. The child LOVES to dress up! So, i'm sitting in the living room and he comes out in this all black getup (see above). Here's how our conversation went:

Mom: "What kind of outfit is that buddy?"

Henry: "An engine. Not an engine turtle, just an engine."

Mom: "Huh?"

Henry: "You know. An ENGINE!" (he looks at me like i'm crazy and then it dawned on me that he meant NINJA! like NINJA turtles)

TOO MUCH!!! I, of course, did not correct him b/c these little "henryisms" are starting to become few and far between the older he gets. I want to hang onto these little "mis-speaks" as long as I can.

Do you ever go through periods of time with your children when you love them just a little bit more than usual? I know that sounds weird, b/c I always love my children more than I could ever describe. But sometimes when they are being super sweet and extra cute you just love them a little bit more. Well, this is one of those times with Henry. He is "running on all cylinders" right now. Using his sweet manners, cuddling me up without asking, doing as he's told without arguing, etc. I could eat him up!!!

CSA - Week 4

Kale Chips

Take 1 bunch of kale. Tear it off the rough stem into smaller pieces. Wash it real good in the salad spinner.

Put it on a big cookie sheet covered with tin foil for easier clean up. Toss with olive oil and some kosher salt. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 375-400 degrees until crisp.



Throw them in a bowl, LIE to your kids, and tell them they are chips. Yummy, salty, bad for your chips. But really, they're super healthy superfood KALE...with a twist.

Kale

Asparagus

Beets

Radishes

Turnips

Brocolli

Cauliflower

Pete's Sweet Onions

Green Garlic

*no strawberries this week due to the bad hail/rain storm last week

They Play TOGETHER!

Nothing makes me happier than walking into a room and finding my two sweet boys playing TOGETHER. Nicely AND with the same toys:)

Ahh, it's the little things!

Slip-N-Slide!

The Easter Bunny brought Henry and Manning a Slip-N-Slide this year and we got it out this weekend. It provided hours of wet and dirty fun!!!
