worm pies

the weather has been beautiful and the dirt is just right for making mud pies or as max calls it, worm pies. i got a shovel and dug out a big ol' hole...add in a couple of spoons, and muffin tins and you have hours of fun.

***

this is their oven.

**

my kids love these....

and they are so easy to make.
***
a box of kashi heart to heart cereal (max calls it circles and hearts cereal)
1 cup organic peanut butter
1 cup honey (i actually used a little less than 1 cup)
mix together in a big bowl and spoon out.
***


i keep mine in the refrigerator.

wordless wednesday!

tis the season

***

BALL SEASON!

this was the first time at bat...the first t-ball game of the season and max's first season to play...max hit the ball and started running straight to the pitchers mound until the coach redirected him....it was so cute! this brought back memories...about 19 years ago when hayden had his first t-ball game, he did the exact same thing except he was so fast the coach couldn't catch him to redirect him....he ran to the pitchers mound, then third base and straight to home plate. it was so precious to me that they did the same thing.
***

talking it over with his coach.
***

while max was outfield he started yelling, "mama, i'm cold...can I have my jacket".
if you look closely, you can see the smile on his face.
***

running to third base.
***

the WILD THINGS....sweeties division softball

***

focused and ready...
***

i didn't get as many pictures of vivi because i had to help in the dug-out....but you can bet i will get plenty before the season is over :-).

how to make our favorite smoothie pops

the popsicle of champions.
***

here is how you can make, lip smackin' smoothie pops.....

***

your ingredients are: fresh spinach, frozen blueberries, a ripe banana, honey, and soy milk
***

you need two adorable assistants....
***

that are so excited they want to jump off the counter....
***

you must first wash your hands.
***

make sure the blender is properly in place...
***

place in the blender, a hearty handful of fresh spinach..... (if your kids don't know you put spinach in it....they will NOT have a clue, although max and viv love spinach, you don't taste it in the smoothie BUT you do get all the wonderful nutrients from it)
***

lots of frozen blueberries...
***

a very ripe banana...
***

a BIG squeeze of honey...
***

soy milk...
***

then, squat and blend...
***

and blend some more.

***

ALL DONE!!!

two thumbs up on a job well done!

a BIG two thumbs up because they snuck a taste and it taste so YUMMY!
