Sienna's newest party trick

The other day, Sienna was playing and suddenly started counting....TO T.E.N.!! She was doing it over and over. I knew she could count to three. But, TEN?!! I would obviously LOVE to take credit for this little achievement, but I think Austin probably has more to do with it than me. lol.

Firefighter Austin, to the rescue

In case you weren't already aware, Austin is obsessed with emergency vehicles. ["Obsessed" might even be an understatement.] His favorite emergency vehicles are fire trucks.  He's always asking for another fire truck toy and another fire truck toy and another and another.  So, today I told him to make one... and he did.

Introducing the Firefighter Austin Fire Truck Rescue Vehicle v1.0, coming soon to a store near you...

Through these eyes


Through these eyes
What do you see
Can you see my reflection
Can you see the sky
Can you see the beauty of your life in front of you
These beautiful eyes.

When life hands you lemons...

MAKE SOME LEMONADE!!

We have a cute little lemon tree in one corner of our backyard. It has about 3985450876340586345 lemons on it, so Arthur picked about 230498375 of them on the weekend. He juiced all of them (bless his heart) and we made some lemonade. YUM!!

Recipe
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 1/4 cup lemon juice (I like it tart!)
3-4 cups additional water

- Mix sugar in 1 cup boiling water until it dissolves, making a sugar syrup.
- Add sugar syrup to lemon juice and additional water.
- Mix and enjoy!
