We Cook
MMMmmmmmm
It was Cold and Rainy (Huh?, I know, you're surprised too.) so we decided to cook, cook, cook.
French rolls, pork tenderloin, rustic apple pie, mango ice cream, grilled veggies and 4 cheese mac n cheese.
Then I blended up some for Pee Wee (except mango ice cream) and he was soooo happy.

How Does Your Garden Grow.....
Here is an excerpt from a recent article on gardening in Seattle.... "Seattle gardening begins with proper watering. When trying to determine the frequency and duration of watering periods, take into consideration the weather conditions and the plant itself. " But wait....
When doesn't it rain in Seattle? We literally have replanted the garden twice. Ok, once was due to Pookers little fingers figuring if they could put the seeds and seedlings in then they should be able to take them out. The second time was due to flooding of the poor things from the CONSTANT RAIN!!!!!
Did you know it rains in Seattle? Hmmmmm who knew!

Silence, ahhhhhh
It is quiet in our home at night and one can simply, be still and listen. There is a uniqueness to this silence in our home. It is usually filled with giggles and laughter, childrens voices in word and song, rock music, Jesse and Andy chattering, maybe other voices mixed in the audio chaos. There may be some hammering, balls bouncing, and the consistently heard "Mama."
There is a steady thump of little feet marching and ......toilets flushing.....
(What?)
followed by the dreaded "Uh-OH" and a squeal of delight.
Like all males, ages 0-100, Pookers, is amazed by the magic and mystery of the toilet, except to use it for it's intended purpose. Let's face it, the thing is amazing.
The moment the bathroom door is opened he comes running like a cat to a can-opener, whomever is in there. Heaven forbid the door be locked, ours don't unfortunately.
When he does have a moment of alone time with the toilet, and I literally mean "moment", as in less than 2 seconds, he likes to test the buoyancy of various items. Hot wheels are the item of choice.
I can tell you all about my plumbers family, where his daughter is going to college this fall, his latest grandchild's due date, and what he is buying his wife for their anniversary. We recognize each others voices on the phone. That is just life with little boys and hot wheels.
Yes God does indeed work mysteriously and sometimes I think he just needs a laugh.

The gift that keeps on giving.....
Chicken Pox has struck.
Yikes! Thankfully with vaccines the itchy and miserable feeling only lasts a couple of days and far less pox; whereas JR had it as a little guy and was covered head to toe. He was out of it for a LONG time! Low grade fever for just a few days but the pox really irritated as they were coming out. Finally sleeping without scratching the entire time, eating and just feeling way better. Thank goodness little ones bounce back quick!
