easy as pie

We have carrots in our garden this year! I don’t know why I thought they would be difficult to grow. They really have been the easiest plants thus far. This is all we did.

1. Plant carrot seeds
2. Water
3. Weed
4. Watch
5. Pull, Wash and Eat

The kids have been so excited watching the carrots grow. I think we’ll do it again next year! So easy...

sneaky

Wikipedia’s definition of an egg slicer = a food preparation utensil used to slice peeled, hard-boiled eggs quickly and evenly. An egg slicer consists of a slotted dish for holding the egg and a hinged plate of wires or blades that can be closed to slice.

A mother’s definition of an egg slicer = a sneaky way to get the children to eat the entire hard-boiled egg!

socks

This is one of the many reasons I married my husband.


These are my striped, winter, over-the-knee-socks that he asked if he could borrow. I snapped this picture as he was walking out the door to teach. Of course, I was laughing so hard and trying not to pee my pants while focusing the camera.

I have always been a little envious of his guts to pull off a joke. I really like having fun and being silly with my family. But in public, I am just a bit reluctant to throw caution to the wind and go for it! He did wear these silly socks to work and produced smiles and laughs and even received a “Thank you. I really needed a good laugh today!”

Thanks, Honey, for brightening my day!
