Peaches, peaches, peaches!


My mom-in-law and I canned close to 50 quarts of peaches at my house the other day. Took a good chunk of the day to get it all done, but was worth it. They are delicious!

Next up: Tomatoes.
(PS... Mary, how did yours turn out??)

After we got home! Much happier now. He made an apple crown today. He said recess was his favorite part. And only had water for snack cuz the crackers were weird.



On our way out the door on the very first day of preschool. (I meant to put these pix in the other order. Oh, well. Don't know how to fix it now.) Not really into it just yet.

Celebrating Four Years of Calvin




Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Ah, Toddlers.

Scene: Starbucks, Tualatin
Mood: Calm-ish (which is saying a lot)
Calvin: "MOM, I HAVE TO PEE!"
***mad dash to the restrooms***
Whew, we made it just in time.
Natalie: "Keys! Keys!"
OK, she can play with the keys while we get the undies back up, hands washed.
Time to go, holding hands (more like grasping struggling wrists) across the parking lot.
HONK...HONK...HONK...HONK...
Oh, no. There's my car - siren honking, tailgate wide open. How long has it been like that? Oh, right, I let Natalie play w/ my keys. What was I thinking?

Livin' it up Olson-Style


That's a lot of kids in one tub.


And that's a lot of popsicles on a nice rug.


Millie's one! Millie's one!


Sweet morning boys.
