FFF-Park

There is nothing better than being proud of your child.

I remember this trip to the park when I got to take my own child and listen to his squeals.

I had been to the park many times and enjoyed children's squeals, but none compared to this day.

Sam -Odon Park -Sept 2006

Unplanned perfect evening.

Monday night.

Our hair appointments got cancelled.

Perfect. {Hope Amanda is better...}

A night of relaxation.

I in my striped auction bought chair

-thanks to Lissa F. for telling me to put in this space untouched...I love it!

I was searching for ideas for the perfect 3rd birthday for baby Joe.

And DH in his comfy brown leather recliner watching the St. Louis Cardinals.

And of course our children would play quietly,

puzzles and such

until wandering off to bed on their own

 and then calling us to tuck them in and do devotions together...

Until Joe called out...Ballgame.

Which in Joe lingo means any type of sport.

Did I mention is was raining outside?

So, we proceeded to play every sport possible from inside.

Including bowling and birdwatching.

And our evening was full of laughter and smiles

It was  far from quiet.

Really it was kind of a blur

That is until I remembered these in the freezer.

Dairy Queen Starkiss

And then

our evening turned into this

straight to the bath tub

and bed!  Perfect evening I tell ya.

Albeit, far from what I had planned.

Yet, way better!

One Bannana-problem solved!

It was a stressful situation at our house the other day.

We only had one bannana left.

One Bannana

Two Boys

Who didn't want to share one bannana.

So we made a pie.

What a perfect receipe for their help.

I love this concentration while he crunches the vanilla wafers for crust.

Measuring and pouring is perfect at this age.

Mixing is for everyone! {So is taste testing}

And so proud of their creation that we shared with daddy when he was done mowing.

Yummy summer treat!
