Friday (better late than never)

1.  Fun on the farm!  The farm where we have a CSA share is also great entertainment for the kids.  On our first visit there, Henry discovered this huge “jumping pillow” and couldn’t get enough of it.  The kids (and Mom) are also fans of the “corn bin,” which is nice and cool inside even on a hot day. 

 

2.  Henry has discovered “golf.”  (also on the farm)

 

3.  I took the kids out for pizza the other day.  We had a fun (if chaotic) time, but I wish I had my camera with me.  Both kids decided that the slice of lemon on my water glass must be a special treat and insisted on trying it.  Henry quickly figured out that it was not such a treat, but Lucy repeatedly asked to try it again.  And every time, she made a wonderful face and then laughed.  It was a nice way to pass the time while we waited for our food. 

4.  Lucy now follows me around the house with a book in her hand pleading with me to “rrr” the “gook.”  It took her awhile to show much of an interest in books, but she can’t get enough of them at the moment.  Now it’s just a question of which kid gets to my lap first. 

5.  And finally, here’s a peek into our (mostly finished) bathroom.  Highlights include the new tile floor, the pedestal sink, and the custom cabinet built by our in-house carpenter.  This is the third bathroom that Matt and I have painted blue since we’ve been married.
