Kate requested lasagna for her birthday meal, so yesterday we did a marathon kitchen morning and had enough lasagna and garlic bread to share and freeze both. I didn’t get any px of Kate’s birthday dessert, chocolate pie, or the other projects we had going either; suffice it to say it was a busy morning.
So after running a few errands which ended with a walk at PP with Dad, school meetings, chores, and a nap for Joshua, the kids were ready for some fun on a hot 85-degree summer day. The sun was behind clouds by the time we got to the lake, but it was still plenty hot enough – except that the water was still pretty cold after the 1.5 inches of rain we got Saturday night.
When Jacob says it’s pretty cold, then it must be REALLY REALLY cold – but that didn’t stop him from enjoying his frozen blueberries in his inner tube.
Go Jacob!
Jewel had a good share of blueberries too, but there was probably a bit of blue chill to her lips too!
A great thing about a lake - - if it’s too cold to swim, there’s always plenty of other adventure to find. Toads were the talk of this day.
Back home for another pan of ASK’s wonderfully creative birthday bars!
A few gifts to open after supper…
(With very excited help from Josh!)
Yep - - a Snark!
In case you ever wondered, living with 3 young men is a lot of fun. Their constant battle to be ruler of the roost provides unending entertainment :)
Josh loves to help Kate make pancakes. He’s pretty disappointed when she makes them without him, so she’s the best big sister and wakes him up to help.
Aren’t his camouflage pajamas just so cute?!!! Or maybe it’s his snuggly sleepy bedhead look - - - whatever it is, it’s precious!
Evening walk with Dad tonight ended with touring the farm. Strawberries behind red shed look promising (for the kids, not me).
Same for the berries behind the wood shed.
Lots of pretty blossoms.
Beautiful evening.
Tour ended at the raspberries which needed attention.
Beautiful but very very cool - - good thing the winter coats are still in the closet!
Lots of good help (all but Levi & Jesse who went Easter carolling with the young group).
Much better!
Beautiful moon.
Sign of spring - bleeding heart.
With his cold, Josh was pretty grouchy all day. He got a second wind after Bibletime though and gave Daddy a good workout!
Good night!
