Why So BLUE?

Crayola coloured bubbles, that's why. Fun to play with... messy to clean up. And this was after I washed his face which was blue AND orange.

Saying Grace

We said this grace throughout Easter:

Lord Jesus,
Fill our heads with hope,
Fill our bellies with food,
And fill our hearts with joy.
Alleluia. Amen.

Just when the 50 days of Easter ended Daniel figured out the actions. It is so awesome to SEE him praying that we have kept saying this grace for most meals. Though he does tend to get stuck on "Heads with hope."

Time to pray...

... fill our heads with hope...

...our bellies with food...

... and our heads with hope!

Oh, and Daniel does say the words: "Alleluia. Amen!"

From A Box

So I tried making some rose sauce for tortellini. Tomatoes, parmesan, cream, even bacon. Delicious! But would the boys eat it? No. But they will scarf two plates each of Loney's Rose Sauce. It's powder you mix with milk and margarine. So much for homemade is better.

Home-grown Veggies... And More!

Well, our garden is coming along really nicely. Today the boys and I were checking out what was growing and we had this conversation.

Jacob: I see tomatoes growing!
Me: Yup. What else do you see?
Jacob: I see lettuce and carrots...
Me: Wow.
Jacob: ... And sausages, and bacon, and juice!

We have the best garden ever!
