hanging out, part 2

Andrew's fondness for hanging on our towel bars inspired me to find a chin-up bar for the kids, and it was an instant hit!  The kids get some indoor exercise, and our towel bars get to stay intact.

pool daze

You may have noticed a recurring theme in our photos lately....

We've been taking advantage of a string of wonderful weather by spending as much time outside as possible (even a few nights until 10pm!), and our inflatable pool, and popsicle molds, have been seeing a lot of action.

Father's Day treats

The kids were excited to show their Daddy his Father's Day gifts - handmade cards, and homemade donuts!


Seems I've finally found something I am capable of baking successfully.   I know, donuts are supposed to be fried, right?  So these are basically little round cakes.  But I found a donut pan, and cobbled together a recipe from ones I found online, and the result was a tray full of little glazed treats that tasted a LOT like the real thing.  Yum!
