Full Plate

So a lot to catch up on. I've been just a LITTLE busy.
Because of the busyness, I asked the boys to make dinner. They looked at me like I was crazy and I looked at them like I was serious and they got to work. They ended up making french toast and it was soooooo yummy. It can be scary when kids cook, but this was fantastic. Not a single piece was burnt!
They are my boys... so of course it all started with using kitchen utensils as weapons and goofing around.

But then they got down to business!
I have REALLY loved the weather lately!! I LOVE rain and we don't get too much, but the last few weeks have been so much fun. The boys saw the sun come through the windows and so they ran out to play and a few minutes later they are coming in the house yelling "A RAINBOW!!!" and then a few seconds later "A DOUBLE RAINBOW!!! HURRY COME LOOK!!!" So I did and decide I needed a picture. By the time I got my camera, the sun and clouds had moved so the 2nd one was not as bright. But there were 2 super bright FULL rainbows.
So here is Ezra, our beautiful rainbow, our tumblweed field and our school.
and some friend of the girl who lives across the street-he was taking a pic too
With all the storms, some of the tumbleweeds have blown away and even if they hadn't, that field is still a boys heaven on earth.
Big dirt jumps
Mud puddles
Tumbleweeds
Room to roam
Add that to a 3 day weekend and you get a neighborhood full of happy, muddy boys!


I went to my first Girl's Camp meeting last night with the girls I will be working with. I was nervous for a lot of reasons.

The age group

The gender

Another thing to do

Could I do another thing

And then I went to the meeting. And those girls were sweet and hilarious and just what I needed. And I hope I can be just what they need!
