Day Fifty Eight.

Ben built a big snowman in our backyard. It has very large breasts. So I should rephrase.

Day Fifty Seven.

Seeing little bits of pink dotting our once blue/black/green laundry piles makes me happy!

Day Fifty-Six

Green Smoothie Supper!

Jon goes to his workout on Monday nights and usually I am too tired from the weekend to put together something elaborate for the Littles. So on Mondays...after likely too many treats from the weekend, a green smoothie supper works for everyone!

2 cups juice (they like banana, strawberry and kiwi from Oasis Juice)
2 cups of greens  (this was kale and Spinich)
1 frozen banana (I buy lots at once, peel and freeze together in a ziplock)
1/2 cup of berries (blueberries will keep the green colour, other colours turn it more brown-ish)
4 Tablespoons of hemp seeds (packed with protein)
2 Tablespoons of flax seeds

They love them, super healthy, they like helping to make them, total process is 5 minutes....I think Monday's are my favorite! 

Day Fifty five.

I have started lighting beeswax candles at dinner time (I love the smell of beeswax!) The most effective reason is I think it makes dinner time deliberate. Additionally the boys are fascinated with fire and so they will hurry to the table to watch me light them and they will stay in their seats for the duration of the meal so they can put out a candle when dinner is over. They call it "Party Supper"!

Day Fifty Four.

 Here and the numbers guys bonding over math games. He begged for five more minutes to do " just one more!" after bedtime!

Day Fifty Three

Jon and Ben went to a "Hug a Bug" event at the butterfly conservatory this week. All but the last are photo's that Ben took. This boy loves bugs!...but he may like photography even more!
