Brownie batter...

Who doesn't love it?

Sensory bins

I realized I now have to equipt two sensory bins... especially since my little one thinks the cat box (once hidden in the basement is now in plain/play zone) is a sort of sensory bin.  So to distract her from the fun-box-with-the-sand-in-the-laundry-room, she gets her own bin each time. 

Not my best, but "farm" will have to do until I unearth the fall stuff.

Back in Kansas

Sunday we introduced a dinner bell and at night I reapplied to Graduate School.  So many things happening.  A collective sigh as we begin to settle in.  In the next few weeks I hope to chronicle our simplification process and our acclimation to living in a small town with small children.  Until then, you can enjoy a few shots of our rental. And the chaos of moving...

Empty cabinets...

are the best places to play!

These were some of the last photos taken at the old house.  A bit of a sad moment for me.

Birthday Party

Before we left Michigan, we attended one last b-day party for R's friend O.  She turned four and my little people had a blast at her party.

I had to get a shot of that beard.  It's gone now, but it was strange while it lasted.

House for sale!

Well sorta.  It's already under contract!!!
