Fried Bananas

Well, I guess that they weren't technically fried bananas. Today Merci was sitting up on the counter eating a banana, which i realize is a big no no, but I really didn't see the harm in it until, later, much, much later. Well......when I was making Dinner tonight I needed to use the toaster to toast some English muffins for our open faced burgers........I know English muffins must sound weird for burgers, but it was a new recipe and it was actually quite tasty.......anyway, all of the sudden I smelled something burning, well I guess earlier when i obviously wasn't paying attention, Merci had shoved half of her banana, and some money not to mention, into the toaster. Well all I can say is trying to get mashed up bananas out of a toaster is not the easiest task. Oh Well, isn't that the reason for having children, they sure do keep things interesting.

Weekend at the Farm


This is a miracle: The two of them are usually so head strong they don't typically get along, I think that is why I love this picture so much.
Here my dad is telling her it is icky coffee in his cup.



I love this picture she totally fell, but isn't it a sweet pic.

We were lucky enough to go and spend the weekend at my Grandma Patt's Farm. I didn't realize how much I love it out there, and of course Merci being the outdoor girl that she is just had a complete blast. The kids were really fascinated by the chickens, turkeys and ducks. we also spent Hours or so it seemed swinging in the tire swing. With all that said we had an unforgettable weekend with the family.
