Zucchini Baby?

My friend gave us a large zucchini from her garden and my little boy wanted to carve a face on it. So I carved a little face for him and he carried around for a couple of days pretending it was a baby.

Then we had to grate the zucchini up to make some bread. Having my son become attached to it made this task somewhat difficult if you could imagine.

3 Dishwashers in one house!!!

My dishwasher has been broken for a long time and we don't have the money to replace it so now I have 3 dishwashers! And they do a fantastic job. I think we end up with more water on the floor than in the sink though. We are trying to make jobs in the family a team effort and not just one person doing all the work. Sometimes it's more work for me than to just do it all myself and sometimes they fight... but for the most part they are learning to interact with each other and communicate as they work together.

Of course we have one more helper. She's just old enough to splash in the water though. She does a good job at just being cute.








Hop on the Bus!

My oldest has a great love for busses and trains. He pays strict attention to detail. I love these drawings he does.

Breakfast with the Guys

Me and my sisters-in-law were gone for a weekend to Time Out for Women http://deseretbook.com/time-out/events_2010 Something we enjoy doing together every year!!

Well my son was upset that I was leaving and decided to plan a get together with all the guys. My brothers-in-law all had other plans but it was so cute to see this invitation my son made. He loves getting together with family!

Super Heros Wear Underwear

My son dresses up like a super hero every day. He makes his own costumes too. Check out the undies on the outside of his pants.... isn't that the way Superman does it?? Also sporting a pillow case cape and brandishing a weapon made of mega blocks!!
