Super Soaked

Landon is so excited, the water season has begun!!!  Splash pads and swimming pool….nothing stops him from getting water logged daily.  Love this time of year too, the weather reminds me of why we have lived in our entire life!!

Landon and Liam were the only ones at the splash pad when we arrived…but not for long.  Jessi and I had brought so many water toys that all the kids, big and small were drawn to our area to share and partake in the water fight that Landon and Liam initiated!!

 

Each kid had their fair share of getting super soaked!

 

These two are full of fun and sometimes a little mischief!  They can argue like brothers, compete like rivals, yet team up like the best buds that they are!!

The pool is in full swing!  The only ones daring enough to swim in the freezing water is the kids. Its a great excuse to stop our busy days and relax in the sun.

Goodnight Moon

Fun Finds of Our Day

Find #1: Landon and I happened to find the Town and Country farmer’s market yesterday when we stopped to shop at Trader Joes.  Lan was just as excited as I was to shop the organic produce, holding back not to eat the colorful, delicious finds.  As we loaded up on our produce treasures, all Landon could talk about was eating “delicious carrots like the Easter Bunny”. 

 

Find #2:  Trader Joes grocery shopping, always a favorite of Landon’s and mine.  Pushing his “teeny tiny shopping cart” (as he calls it), we always have to head to the sample counter to see what is on the menu.  Item of the day:  Thai Beef.  Two small servings into it and Landon’s response, “Mom, we gotta buy this”.   I have to share this recipe, it was a hit at last night’s dinner.  Love finding new, simple recipes!

1 ½ lb cubed sirloin

1 cup low fat coconut milk

1 cup Thai red curry sauce

Organic Jasmine rice

Organic Stir fry vegetable

In a crock-pot, combine sirloin and sauces. Cook on high heat for approximately 6 hours. Add vegetables to crock-pot 30 minutes before serving. Serve over rice.

Find  #3:  The introduction to a new crafty blog has my creative spirit going. I scanned the site and fell upon a few ideas.  Let me preface by saying,  I do not have much of the creative gene, but I think these moss covered letters turned out pretty good! What do you think?
