ZooLights

The zoolights were fun this year. We actually spent the $6 and rode the train. Nathaniel LOVED the train.Logan liked it too, although the pictures doesn't portray it :-)




Waving goodbye to the train... I told him maybe Oma could take him next week :-) hint hint :-)

Daddy CAN hold both boys at once!

These boys are so precious to me! And they have so much fun together.I am blessed!

Who doesn't like to like the spatula?

I made possibly the BEST cookies ever this last week (it was like a chocolate brownie with mint chips! mmmm) and of course offered the spatula to Nathaniel when I was finished. 15 minutes worth of quiet time... Yes it was worth it.

Here's my recipe
2 pkg (16 squares) of Bakers' Semi-sweet Baking Chocolate
3/4 C packed brown sugar
1/4 C Butter or margarine
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 C Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder

Coarsely chop 1 pkg of Baking Chocolate and set aside. Microwave the remaining pkg (8 squares) of chocolate for 2 minutes. Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in sugar butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder. Stir in the reserved chopped chocolate. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until cookies are puffed and feel set. Cool for 1 minute on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack.

Tummy Time

Mom tries to give Logan tummy time, but quite often I'm afraid he will get run over by Nathaniel. But I did get a picture on this rare occasion!

Drink break

Sometimes it's easier when you don't have to use your hands....

Step stool

Nathaniel's new best friend... He found out he can move this piece of furniture on his own quite easily and has been putting it near the computer to sit next to mom or Dad or over by the door to look out the back window. He brought it into the kitchen and set it down right by the fridge... now he can reach the buttons for the light and ice/water dispenser! Fortunately it was on ice mode and he has not discovered that button. That will be an exciting day!

Grocery shopping

I'm a bit surprised it took this long to discover the car attached to the cart as we are always in and out of a grocery store. On this particular day I was just going to run in and drop a letter off at the post office inside the store. When Nathaniel saw this cart I knew we were going to have to roam the store for a while to let him enjoy the experience. It was quite entertaining.
