They fit together like ...

I couldn't resist taking a picture of Daddy napping while Charlie was watching a show about monster trucks. I asked Charlie later what he would do if he drove a monster truck. He said he would drive it home.

Notice my new curtains ;)

A few nice days.

We're so lucky that when its nice outside, we have the time and ability to take advantage of it. And I don't mean to complain, but FINALLY we have us some spinach (poor Charlie wasn't feeling that great, but I think the fresh air was good for him).

We didn't even use dressing, they were delicious!

I found this lovely little garden basket for Charlie at Salvation Army- perfect for picking radishes with Daddy. And of course, a hat just like Grandpa Wiste's.

Our first Sun Tea of the season. Tea in water, sitting in the sun. If you want to try it, you can even put a small amount in a quart or half gallon glass jar with a lid. Plus it won't take up as much room in your fridge.

We probably needed the rain days after to recuperate. Trav has a few things left to plant, and if he doesn't get it done soon, he might be too far behind to catch up in the garden competition this year (plus, fresh beet salads, mmmm). I am pleased that I got a few beds weeded, with a few left to go. My goal this year is to try to maintain; we'll see how that goes. I keep going back and forth with myself as to whether or not I'm willing to sit in my flower bed for a million years to try to get rid of some kind of invasive flower that produces trillions of bulbs. But so far I've prioritized the garden and I might decide I don't care enough to be so uncomfortable. ~Becky

Popcorn and a Movie.

Every time Daddy is home at night, Charlie wants him to take a bath (I would have loved to put a picture of this up, but pretty sure it would not be appreciated- lots of bubbles, though) and make popcorn. After only one time of remembering how to make it, Trav has gotten really good at popcorn on the stove-top, we don't even add butter or salt (much better for preggo people, too). But, we have learned one very important lesson- if we give Charlie the whole bowl, he will not share, and he will sit there and try to eat the whole thing. He even tells us, "Me eat all that". So we now have to each have our own bowl.
