Minecraft party!
I don't know about your house, but here it's all Minecraft, Legos, and Spongebob with Jake! When we saw a flyer at our local library for a Minecraft party, we signed up and took his cousin, too.

As soon as I got home, I knew exactly what to do with the boxes: organize the junk drawer! It was already somewhat organized, but everything didn't fit … Continue reading Junk drawer success
Mommy’s little helper
Saturday afternoon, Jake and I did a little gardening. I taught him about composting the chicken house droppings with leaves and showed him how beautiful the black dirt is that it makes. Then we planted a bleeding heart root and a bunch of zinnia seeds... ...and a whole lot of dandelions!
