Cherry Jam!

We spent the afternoon at my parents house so Drew could change out the spark plugs on the car, and so that I could make some cherry jam. Both turned out pretty darn good :) 

Rolling out dough

We were making pizza crusts, and sometimes Drew likes a really thin crust made with our noodle maker. So we tried it again today. J LOVED helping to roll out all the dough :) 

Hot dog eating

if you can see it, yes, he is using two forks, one in front of the other, to eat his hot dog. 

Dinnertime BB-8

J discovered that if you eat part of one round cracker and put it over another, it makes a BB-8. He was so excited and begged me to take a picture.

Mini pumpkin pies

We made some small pumpkin pies specifically for J. He ended up not liking the pie, but I thought they were cute. 

Line of cereal

I gave J a bowl of mixed cereal for breakfast, and he picked out all of one kind and laid it out carefully in a line. 

Recipes

I found a book of "Holiday" recipes. I took a picture of a few nummy sounding ones, to hope to try and make them at some time. 

Yogurt face

Peaches

We got a bushel of peaches at the store. I had been hoping to be able to can them Monday, when I would have a bit more time, but they were super ripe, and needed to be done tonight. So, starting at 9pm, we started the peaches. 

Fun Shaped french toast

In an effort to encourage eating of dinner, we made the french toast fun shaped and covered in peanut butter (not pictured). It worked! J actually enjoyed and ate dinner well! 

Chocolate cheesecake pie

I've been craving chocolate for the last week or so, so yesterday we bought the stuff to make this. Man, is it yummy, and just the right amount of chocolate in it to satisfy a chocolate craving. It made a whole 9x13 pan so I'll be able to eat on this for the next week to come. I'm pretty excited. :)  

Smoothie covered boy

We had a smoothie for a snack this afternoon. J thoroughly enjoyed it (this was after wiping some off of him already, specifically on his shoulder and hands) 

Great Harvest

 We stop in for enough free samples, we decided to splurge and buy a scone this morning after paying off a parking ticket.

Granola

I decided to make some granola today. It turned out super tasty :) 

Oranges

M&M Cookie Dough

Jam!

Much to J's dismay, we spent the morning making jam. We got 7 (almost 8) whole pints! I'm super excited to have some back in storage in our pantry :) 

Sorting

J took out all the granola bars today, looking for one very specific one. :)
