Snippets from our Day

Yesterday I cooked all the chicken breasts and four pounds of pork and marinated overnight the flank steak and whole chicken. Today I am cooking the remaining eight pounds of pork and roasting the chicken while Chris is grilling the steak.

When John climbed up on his cement truck to reach a higher shelf, I was almost positive that he had done so cunningly. Today I watched him set up the truck and start to step on to it. By the time I got my camera, he didn't actually step on to it again, so you'll have to trust me.

Here is a photo of John's new canvas storage cubes (thanks Gramma and Grampa Neil!). John took right to them and knew that his toys were inside.
John eating (mostly playing with) some grated cheddar and diced banana for breakfast:
The cats circling like sharks for the dropped cheddar:

I see that John is now cutting his fourth tooth: the second top tooth. He likes to remain symmetrical when possible.

  3. Lily asked what I wanted to. Love them! What a great idea. We have a toy rotation and I store everything in Rubbermaid bins, but this is amuch better idea.

  4. I, too, love your storage solution. We have something similar in our schoolroom which we bought at IKEA. I'll have to have Paul build something like yours for the playroom..."Oh, Honeeeeyyy" And funny that John is working on his fourth tooth - whereas Charlie hasn't even cut one!!
