homemade playdough



We made homemade playdough for the first time yesterday. My Mom used to make it for us when we were little, and I can't believe it took me three and a half years to think of it myself, but the kids had a great time. Isaiah helped me measure the ingredients and stir it together before it went on the stove. Gabe wasn't too sure about the texture. And we made it green, of course. Isaiah's CRAZY about green!

Saturday evening

We tried to visit a local park Saturday night, but a soccer team was having their end of season party so it was a little crowded. We decided to hang out near the boats and feed the ducks and fish. It was a beautiful day!


Our weekend

Justin's been working hard building us a shed (so far, no trips to the ER! I think he's setting a personal record!) while also tending to his garden. I'm proud of him too!

from left-to-right: peach tree and blueberry bushes, garlic, zucchini and melons, beans, corn, potatoes, tomatoes. a few things like strawberries didn't work out this year, but we had great lettuce this spring!
