Funny Kid Story!

Logan is so funny...Whenever he doesn't get his way I say, "That's the breaks, kid," because that's the annoying response my dad always gave me. Logan usually screams back, "That's NOT the breaks." Anyway, last night he made a big mess out of his dinner (which is not at all unusual), I said, "Why do you make such big messes, Logan?" He continued smearing food on his placemat and said, without looking up, "That's the breaks, mom." It was both absolutely endearing and a little annoying. :)

My Little Goofball

Logan loves to take my kitchen utensils into the tub with him (hey, free bath toys!) and the strainer is his favorite. He told me that it is his "helmet to keep him safe." He's so funny!

Updates

Our garden has been a huge success! The corn and onions are beautiful and delicious.

Logan got his first pairs of "big boy" underwear. He likes to wear them on his head!

Aaaahhhh---I've been so busy the last few weeks, I haven't had a spare second to update the blog! I don't have the time or the energy for any witty remarks, so I'll just upload pics. Enjoy!

Packwood Trip

We decided to take a trip a few weeks ago to Packwood. I moved away when I was 8 and I've always missed it. We rented an awesome cabin and did a little hiking. Logan's favorite part was the pool. They have a great toddler pool that was just his size. He even kept his water wings on, which was miraculous. It was HOT, but a good time was had by all.

Ostrander Creek

It's hard to believe this serene creek can wreak so much havoc in the winter! We took Logan down to look for crawdads on one of the super hot days. Lots of fun, no crawdads...

Can You Bake Cookies in a Car?

Yes, yes you can! I read an article on the internet that said you can bake cookies on your car's dash if the weather is 100 degrees or above. Hmmm...fresh baked cookies while I work? Heck yeah! I ran to the store on my lunch break and picked up the pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough and grabbed my cookie sheet from home. Three hours later...warm, fresh dash cookies! My car smelled like I imagine heaven would smell and I had delicious cookies! It was a day full of WIN!! Also, since the cookies were cooked fully by solar power, the calories didn't count....being earth-friendly=no calories. Right? And, yes, I will go to bizarre lengths for cookies.

Fun with the Girls

We just love our girls! We let them out at night to chase bugs and run around. They don't mind being picked up or petted and they love to hang out in Grant's doghouse. He sniffs them, but never harasses them or anything. They aren't too sure about Logan, but he sure loves them. They are giving us 2-3 eggs a day, which is awesome. Fun times at the Engkraf Farm!
