Miscellaneous

I typically try to blog on Tuesday morning while Gage is in class, however, he has been battling allergies the last few weeks so he wanted me to stay in class with him. So anyway, here is a recap of the last couple weeks...

Since his class read the book Madeline a few weeks ago, we decided to try a little French cuisine. And since I'm not a French chef even when we have a functioning kitchen, we headed to the farmers market that just happens to have a crepe stand. There were more combinations than I could have imagined, but Gage decided he would stick with the basics...Nutella and powdered sugar! Yum!!

Although it has been 95* here most days, the calendar says it is fall!! My fav time of the year! We made salt dough harvest veggies, so easy and fun, Gage loved painting them and "harvesting" his little garden...


We have been trying to fit in as many beach days as we can before it gets too cool (that would be anything less than 80 degrees) and while we were there last some guys fishing left the bait fish they had collected laying on the beach. The kids decided they needed to "rescue" the fish- at first they wanted to bring them all home!- so we quickly put them in our buckets and put them in the water. A little hesitant to touch the squirming fish at first, but then it was a race to see how many they could pick up.

Here is Gage at the library with his favorite librarian "Miss Sally", seems like wherever he goes he is surrounded by girls! Lol, thank goodness for all these boy cousins he has to give him the rough nod tumble time he loves!

And finally the days Daddy has been looking forward to for 4 (well 5 really I guess!) he has a golfing buddy! Gage joined "the guys" over 4th of July on the golf course and LOVED it, has been asking to go nearly every weekend, so he and Daddy and Mr. Jesus spent a beautiful day last Saturday chasing that itty bitty ball around. I don't get it. But at least they have fun! So much fun that he fell asleep in Daddy's arms that evening ;-
