Just Life

We are enjoying a beautiful start to the summer!  We've only had the air conditioning on for a few days this year so far which I love.  My favorite days are the ones where all the windows are open and the sun is beaming and the coconut oil has melted just a bit in the bucket which means that it's the perfect temperature inside.  There's nothing in particular to write about right now, just a few random things, mostly having to do with food...

We made a tent.  Evie wanted a tea party.  She told me to go upstairs and leave them alone.

Guess this may be a more common thing now that I have two girls.  They'll no longer want their mama around.  Waaah! :(

At the Playseum.  Evie is an expert grocery shopper.

She bought all the red and green peppers.

This just keeps getting cuter.  That little thumb is her best friend.

Just a normal lunch..

"Come on, Everybody.  It's time to exercise!"  Maybe Evie will be an exercise instructor someday.

This just melts my heart.  Man, husbands get even more attractive when they become fathers.

I heard a crash, I heard screams, and I looked over and saw spilled milk. 

We have a little drama queen on our hands.

Doesn't she understand that phrase yet that grandmothers always say???

What we do when the girls are sleeping

Oh, yes, it is pico de gallo season!

So, over a year ago now we went to New Orleans.  Of course we went to Cafe du Monde and got amazing beignets and bought the mix so that we could make them every week at home.  Well, now 1 year later we are finally opening that mix.  Why did it take us so long to do this?

Frying is not my favorite thing in the world to do, but this was worth it.

Perfect breakfast.

Evie would agree, except that she liked the orange juice more than the beignet.  Don't worry, we'll refine her taste soon enough.  Just don't ask her to eat a meatball right now.  I've never seen so much gagging in my life.
