Around the House

September 16, 2015

Just some things Bradyn and I have been doing around the house while Darren is at work or sleeping. He's on midshift, so we don't really get much family time in during the week.


Playing with play-doh

Learning letters and sounds, counting

Making crafts (Darren's birthday card)

Garden work-picking tomatoes, peppers, corn

Riding the UTV to get the mail

Playing frisbee golf

Putting puzzles together

Playing with trains and playing with trains some more

Baking, cooking new treats-Like fresh popcorn on the stove with coconut oil!


Some of Bradyn's current questions and phrases:

What says, Mommy? (He's so ready to start reading!)

Just a little bit? (When he wants some chocolate milk and I won't budge.)

What talking about?

Do you want to play trains with me?

Do you want to play in my room?

Or what? (sassy remark)

Geez, Mommy!

You're mean, Mommy!

Haha, that's funny! I'm so funny.

Ew, that bug is nasty. (We have a lot of crickets.)

I love you. (My favorite.)

My Lil Helper

  Now that I am at home with Bradyn all day, I have been trying to encourage Bradyn to start eating healthier. He would drink his weight in chocolate milk if I let him! So this week, we tried homemade apple juice. He drank the entire glass, so I guess you could say it worked; but in true kid fashion, he changed his mind pretty quickly and wanted something from the fridge. At least for a day I got him to try something organic.   






 He gains more personality every day. Here he is working the camera!



First sweet pepper from our garden.






We do pizza night at least once a week in our house. Of course, Bradyn wanted to play with the dough and make a mess, so I let him have a little fun.








Not bad for his first pizza!
