Greener Eating

So, last month my sisters and I (and my mom) started a little blog so we could share healthy recipes with each other. The recipes are all vegan (no meat, no dairy, etc.), but I promise even normal people have been known to enjoy them.

It's still a work in progress, but you are welcome to take a look.

Maybe they have older brothers

The other day Rachel and Elizabeth wanted me to go upstairs to check-out all the little "set-ups" they had done in their dollhouse. At first glance, everything was normal.

I saw:

A family having a picnic in the front yard. So far, still normal - nothing wrong here except a few wild hair-dos.


A princess and her horse spending some quality computer time together. Maybe the princess is getting caught up on her blog.


One of the daughters (perhaps a teenager?) eating by herself in the dining room.

Wendy upstairs in the bedroom, trying to decide what hat to wear.

A little piano room. The teenage daughter is probably just about to come in and practice.

Oh, wait. . .what's this?

Rachel (rolling her eyes): "Mom, you know!! It's their weapon bucket!"

Oh, right. Silly me. Because every home needs a weapon bucket, right?

Henry Heads Upstairs

I knew it would happen eventually, but I wasn't prepared for it to happen so soon - our little guy has realized there is a whole new world waiting for him to explore upstairs, and he is bound and determined to get there.

One week ago - first attempt:

Two days ago - made it up one step:

Today :

I think we're in trouble.

I guess we've been busy . .

Holding Henry

(One of Rachel's favorite thing to do is to "hold Henry in the air", as she puts it.)

Eating

(Homemade chips, salsa, and guacamole - our new favorite after church meal)

Decorating the house

(Oliver and Rachel have been making signs and posting them up all around. Oliver made this one for his and Tristan's room. Rachel made one for her room that said, "I TOLD you not to come in here." I don't know who gave them the idea for "do not enter" type signs.)

Learning new skills

(This was a fun little experiement that didn't last long - we're back to two in diapers for the time being.)


Playing games(We've been a little addicted to Ticket to Ride lately. Daniel and I love playing with Tristan and Oliver - it's great having kids old enough to be game-night buddies. The only problem is sometimes we are tempted to have game-night every night.)


Dressing up

(Cowboy Henry)

(Fancy ladies)

(Tristan had to dress up like a storm trooper for a little skit at school)

Playing around

Getting into trouble

And just sitting around being cute

Among other things. . .
