Rainy Day

A few months ago our neighbor girl gave Molly her old Easy Bake Oven.  I had not been too eager to try it out but Molly had been asking and we had nothing better to do on a rainy day, so we gave it a whirl.  Molly and Johnny were excited with their creations.  And yes, they look better then they tasted!

Samuel's 1 year stats

Samuel had his 1 year well check last week and his current stats are:

Weight: 20 lbs 3.5oz (30th percentile)
Height: 29" (14th percentile)

It is confirmed, he is a short little peanut!

Here is a picture of Samuel's favorite spot in the house.  Whenever I lose track of him, I find  him in Molly and Johnny's room with a book sitting in Molly's bean bag.  Maybe he is just trying to get a little peace and quite around here-ha!

Year-round pool

Paul had all his wisdom teeth taken out on Monday so my mommy duties have been in overdrive.  I am trying to be sympathetic to Paul, at the same time I'm picking up his slack (yes, this has made me realize how much he really does help).  By dinner time I usually only have a few shreds of patience left!  Tonight after dinner I decided the best way to earn a few quiet  minutes was to give the kids ice cream:

 
Of course, we didn't leave Samuel out.  After he finished his ice cream he stole Johnny's:
