Lego Creations

The kids come up with the best Lego creations. This one happens to be a dojo (a karate center)


There is a small Lego trophy on the right hand side. I love their attention to details!

Sunday Waffles

Sunday was a beautiful day. I love this time of year because the bugs and bees have not all come out yet and so we get to eat outside. We just bought a new picnic table which I love!!!! Our family enjoys waffles with fresh strawberries sliced on top. We use strawberries in lots of meals. It is one of the foods that the kids can help prep in the kitchen - washing, pitting, and slicing. I found 2 gadgets (one last year and one this year) at Williams-Sonoma (love, love, love Williams-Sonoma) that make the process a lot easier and child-friendly (no sharp knives).

The first one pits the strawberries. Just press the plunger, stick it in the strawberry top, twist, and out comes the green top and pit!



The second is a strawberry slicer. It makes slicing strawberries for waffles, crepes, etc. so much faster!




Now this last part is a GAME! Take a look at the next 3 photos and try to decide which family member is NOT a Morning Person.



Um, that might be too easy!
