  • Another fun day in Spokane

         Yesterday was our last full day in Spokane.  It was filled with many activities.  After breakfast was over the boys watched a little bit curious george.  Here is our oldest in a pile of blankets and pilows.102_3856

    He and I then played with the trains and made a big track for them.

    Mom decided to get a project ready for the boys and got out glue, sissors, and paper.  Mom and I cut out pictures and the boys put them on the glue that they had already put down.  Isn't glue fun?  The boys loved it.

    We all went outside after that and found dad working on the rocks in front of their house.  "It's like a puzzle," he said.  102_3879

    Here's what he has done so far.

    The boys wanted a place to play in the dirt, so grandma found a corner and gave them some tools to dig with.  Our oldest was in heaven.  He could and does play out there for hours.

    Mom went and picked some carrots out of the garden.  Wow were they sweet.  There is nothing like fresh garden produce.  Here is our youngest holding up the carrot and then washing it with grandma.

    What a great time we have had.  It is always fun to be with grandma and grandpa.  It will be good to get home to see Dj and we are excited about that.

    That's all for now,

  • Picklin' cucumbers

    Since it is rainy today, mom and dad decided to use up their cucumbers and pickle them.  They got all the ingredents together; cucumbers, dill, vinegar, alum, garic, and salt.  Dad stuffed the cucumbers into the jars with the dill and garlic and mom took care of the canning part.  Here is mom pouring in the brine getting ready to put the jars in the water bath.

    While she and dad were doing this project our youngest got involved in a project of his own.

    The other brother was content playing and then watching a Curious George movie.

    And here is a picture of the beautiful garden that the cucumbers came from.

    Mom loves flowers as well as vegetables.  Here is an old wheelbarrow that she filled with flowers.

    Finally the finished cucumbers.  It will take about 6 weeks for them to turn into pickles in the brine.  Yum!!102_3852
