Banana split night and scenes from the bounce house!
The other night we decided to treat the boys to an easy dinner of BBQ sausage and some fresh green beans from our garden and then banana splits for dessert. They loved it and it was easy for us as well. In the summer I just feel like I don’t want to cook anything and by the time I’m inspired and we are all inside again, it’s way too late to start. So, the easier the better. These are the times I wish we could afford to do Dream Dinners and have that convenience, but we can’t…so oh well!
I got to go out to lunch with my dad today while my mom stayed with the napping children. We went to Isla Bonita and I got fajitas (as I always do when I’m there) that I will be paying for in gastric distress tomorrow. It was great to be able to hang out with my dad and chat about life without all the distractions. Hoping we can do it at least monthly.
I gave the kids a choice today of either setting up the tent to play in or setting up the bounce house. As you can see, they picked the bounce house and bounced until they couldn’t bounce anymore. With the weather staying nice, we can keep it set up for a couple more days. This is always a treat in the summer.
The garden is mass producing carrots, green beans and snap peas. It’s amazing to see the little ones in the rows of peas eating them non stop and begging for me to pull some carrots and wash them off immediately for them to devour. And it’s such a fight to get them to eat veggies sometimes at regular meals…
Holly and Gabe came by for a bit tonight to hang out, the kids watched the “Free To Be You and Me” DVD that we got from the library. Amazing that the show I watched 30 years ago is still a hit with 4 year olds today. They absolutely love it and it’s fun to watch again after all these years. Funny video link of the boys dancing to the Hampster Dance card I bought for Nathan…Nate, now you see why the card never made it to you. Gotta love Trey’s hillbilly dance, too!
