Piggy Bank

Today we cleaned out Grace's piggy bank. A few weeks ago we got her her own savings account. Let me say she and Obie are rich. He doesn't have a piggy bank yet but he does have a savings account. In her piggy bank she had a whopping $65. How did that happen???? She even had a $10 in it. Someone is either being really generous or she had found Mike's cash hidding spot. (She should let me in on the secret. Mike likes to hid cash just incase he might need it, but he woun't tell me where it is since he knows I'll us it. What good is cash if you don't use it???) Some how Obie ended up with the same. . .Then I looked in there bank accounts and noticed both had increased $20.00. (Thanks NaNa & PaPa) So at this point the have both reached the $100 point. Crazy. . .I sure was surprised. . .2 years old, no job, and $100 bucks. . .hmmmmmm. . .

Taking pictures with a two year old and a dog around isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. In fact, I think I failed.
Would you take that thumb out of your mouth?!?!?

Mr. Relaxed

Everytime we put on sunglasses Grace wants to "match" us, so she insists on wearing my glasses. Finally at Target we found these for $2. I think the smile on her face when we all matched made it worth it.

Playing in the Yard

This afternoon we were in the backyard. Obie was laying on a blanket and Grace was playing. Grace asked for some water so I told her "Ok, I'll get you something but you are going to have to watch Obie. Can you babysit?" I was really just kidding. I said this as I was walking inside. As I walked inside I looked out and here is what I saw. . .Grace babysitting.

Food Share #2

So today was food share #2. Still no produce but its on its way. We did get some other yummy things.

Trout

Bread

Fig Jam

Coffee

Eggs

Popcorn

Maple Syrup

Pancake mix

Match Meat (Tastes, Looks, and Cooked just like ground Beef) We'll keep you posted. . .this could be questionable.

Cheese with chives (there was and extra one so we got it. . . and its YUMMY)

Over Stuffed Goats. . .

So here are the over stuffed goats. . .as you can see they weren't lacking food.

Tomorrow real black beans. . .

Tomorrow I'll give the real black beans a try. Hard dried black beans. . .much different then the can. I'll also get the pictures off the other camera and post some stuff from our weekend. We went to Grant's Farm and Grace feed the baby goats from a bottle. The only problem was a million other little kids fed the goats from a bottle so by the time we got there we pretty much had to force feed the little guys. The other problem was they liked to eat pink sweaters. . .and Grace was wearing one of those.

I Like Mushrooms

So I cooked mushrooms. I picked something easy. I didn't think I would like mushrooms anyway they were cooked but I did. I sliced them and then put them in a pan with some olive oil. Then I added some garlic, basil and thyme. Cooked them up. Added them to a white sauce and covered our fresh pasta with it. It was great. I even liked the mushrooms by themselves. I could have eatten them all before they even made it to the pasta. Grace wasn't a fan, but Mike and I love them. Now I anxiously wait for a few weeks until we get them again.
