donuts and curls....

we made donuts with brownie mix.

do you have one of those 20 dollar donut makers from target?

we got one a few months ago and have been using it to make "donuts" out of pre made mixes.

we took joy's advise and made them from muffin mix(substituting out the oil for apple sauce).

and then for dessert we tried brownie mix and then rolling them in powdered sugar.

so good! 

and super fun!

also, have you ever tried rag rollers?

it worked really well on ella's SUPER straight fine hair.

it's just strips of fabric rolled up over your fingers and tied in a knot and left in all night.

look how cute it turned out!

sunday sunshine

i can't stay away from this place.
the mustard calls me everyday at 4pm.
today i convinced my people to come with me and frolic.

paris dreams

today i'm dreaming of paris.
and it may not be completely unfounded, since i get to visit soon!
i am going to have the chance to travel there with reedo, for a work trip!
i've never been there.
I've never even been anywhere near there!
have you?
any advise?
this is what i am thinking so far (remember i dream in pictures)....

rainy day magic

Leslie and i have a reason to smile!

we've got sunshine on a cloudy day with these happy kids!

we were hoping the whole time for the sky to open up and pour so we could use those umbrellas, but instead we tromped through the sunshine yellow mustard and drank hot cider and ate cookies...
i guess that wasn't such a bad option either!
