An Afternoon in Pictures


When your kids wake up at 6am your afternoon starts at 10:30. 

Documented proof that they sometimes play nicely
 
Lunchtime!

Storytime!



The making of superballs, using Sunday School leper sticks (or were they shepherds?) as stirrers.


Braving the HEAT for the SAV Farmer's Market



 The St. Anthony Village Farmer's Market was sorely diminished today - most likely due to the heat index nearing 112 degrees, but we went anyway. The sellers that braved the heat got our money, and we got zucchini and hot sauce, so all is well.





Little Frog losing it while I'm making dinner - Note Ox laughing in the background.

Finally dinnertime: BBQ pork sandwiches & parmesan roasted zucchini.

All in all a good afternoon.The more we cram-pack our days the happier everyone seems to be (I can't think of a day that hasn't contained at least one melt-down from one of us-on good days they happen at home).

  1. Just in case you were wondering, in the storytime picture Ox is indeed wearing his bicycle helmet. He also wears his winter boots in dead Summer and calls them cowboy boots.

  3. LOL! Anissa, those balls were not a success (well, okay, they were really fun to make, but we didn't mush them for long enough so they were more like super blobs). Here's the link: http://makingmemorieswithyourkids.blogspot.com/2011/05/homemade-super-balls.html

  5. Julie, the funniest part is that for a month after Eli kept getting confused between Lepers and Shepherds. Apparently Lepers watched over sheep. And then on St. Patrick's Day he told me he saw a Shepherd-chaun.

    What can affect the purple clay teapot?
    The quality of the purple sand mud itself
