Other April thins

Because of the laugh I got with "Other Narch thins," I now present "Other April thins," in no particular order:

My soon to be sister-in-law (more on that later) had a birthday in April so Jet had a pretend birthday cake. He blew out the candles and "ate" it. So cute. She got a kick out of it when I told her. He's been on a birthday cake kick lately.

 

Cuteness.

Haircuts before and after. Wow, that haircut took a lot of years off. 

It kind of reminds me how when my brother-in-law was a young teacher, he had to keep facial hair so he wouldn't be mistaken for a high school student.

 

Jet likes to help me spin lettuce. Well... he likes to use the lettuce spinner. He's learned something new he can do with it. He takes a toy helicopter, puts it on the top and pushes the top down and locks it. Then he releases the top and makes the helicopter fly. Tee Hee. I love it.

 

We've been eating yummy food. Some obviously came from A Season of Family Meal Plans by Jordan Page, some from other sources. I really enjoyed those red beans and rice with hush puppies last year and looked forward to it this year. I was not disappointed. 

The baby doll head is making an appearance again.

 

You know who is getting into placing it now? Jet. That's who. He climbed up so he could put it in the cupboard. Sigh.

Beware the Ides of March... and Your Mother

The Ides of March- March 15th.
This year we finally did something I've been wanting to do for several years.  We wore togas to dinner.  Heh Heh Heh.

We had our traditional "Caesar" salad and orange "Juliuses."  Heh Heh Heh.
Caesar salad usually uses romaine lettuce but green leaf lettuce was cheaper at the store so when Jeremy saw that I used the wrong kind of lettuce, he said, "Et tu, Kristin."  Heh Heh Heh.  But we had Caesar salad dressing which is the most important.
I love my family but whenever the kids started acting up I told them, "Beware the Ides of March... and your mother."  Heh Heh Heh.
It was a good day.

Science Fiction Day 2015

We got a new toy.  Thanks, Mom and Dad.  The salad spinner makes drying lettuce so much more fun.

But you never know what you're going to find on Science Fiction Day, January 2.

 

 Sorry.  I had to limit the number of pictures I put on here.  I hope you get the idea, though.

Catch of the Day

Our neighbor gave us a head of lettuce from her garden.  We found a new friend on one of the leaves.
