Sand Table Fun

This sand table is a gift from the boys' Great Grandma.

They are having a super fun time with it.

Simeon Loves His New Bed

Well, once Simeon learned how to vault over the bars of his crib, it was time to take the plunge and move him into his big-boy bed. I dug Emmett's old toddler bed out of the garage, cleaned it up, and assembled it.

Simeon is quite pleased with the new set-up. He is now quite eager for bedtime to arrive.

He only fell out one time the first night! Yeah!

But, this morning, he kept asking about the "old" bed...

I think I'll tell him that it was donated to the beaver family.

Cake Pops!

This is my third attempt at making this cute little treat, and I finally got it right! I'm excited to be taking this batch to the homeschool picnic this afternoon.

Raspberry Pie! YUM!

Crust -- one storebought shortbread crust

Cream Cheese Filling -- To 8 oz. of cream cheese, add a splash of vanilla and just enough sugar to sweeten.

Raspberry Topping -- Simmer 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 Tablespoon cornstarch until it thickens (about 2 minutes). Remove from the heat. Stir in one 3 oz. package of raspberry gelatin. Stir the sauce in with your fresh raspberries and spoon over the cream cheese filling.

Refrigerate.

Happy Kid!
