a few snapshots of our day

Isaac loves to crawl into anything small enough he can barely fit inside. :) Love this little cutie!

During morning playtime, Noah dragged his blankey and pillow downstairs to the couch for some reading time. He loves these Look-and-Find books we get at the library.

Noah, hard at work, making the letter S.

Isaac, coloring as usual.

One of two pans of homemade granola. I made it one other time and loved it. This time I added flaxseed and sunflower seeds in addition to the almonds (and eventually, craisins). So tasty!

Isaac loves to help out around the kitchen. He is vacuuming up a small pile of crumbs or cheerios almost daily! He also has a fascination with rags and wiping up things. I have no idea why.

Growing green beans on the kitchen window ledge.
This is Noah's little experiment. One bean plant has taken off out of our half dozen pots. A few more are sprouting, but not as quickly!

How I organize my grocery list and meals.

The meal list is just a list, and we don't stick to it perfectly. I just pick whichever meal works best as we go through the week.

For grocery list, I have a printed sheet with items we typically use. When we run out of something, I just mark it on the list. When making the next menu, I can quickly mark which items we will need.
Chocolate chip banana muffins are some of the boys' favorites.

I had to take a picture before they vanished! They were made from the discounted bananas I bought at the grocery store a few days ago.
