I think it is only the second or third time I have seen them in the wild but there were two males and a female right above my driveway!

March 23: girls only
Pure coincidence but spark was all girls yesterday. Even the siblings were all girls the one exception was the one grandpa who brought his daughter.
March 22: touch
Discovered Melanie was sticking out her hand to let it run along the pole or chain link fence depending on whether we were coming or going. I remember doing this but how did she figure it out? She hasn't seen anyone do it. She really likes to though.

They were just to pretty. They remind me of cows and I am becoming a from dried beans cooking master!
March 17: Avocado Pasta Salad
I made this from my cookbook and wondered why I am not making it every week! Even Melanie was eating a ton of it.

March 15 Dessert
They get something every night since we started the "piggies" but our manners at the table are amazing!
March 13 Urban Air
Sarah was nice enough to offer us her passes while they were gone. It was busy but the kids really liked jumping and climbing all over the place.
March 12: zoo
Melanie was very cute at the zoo. It was also very busy being the first day of spring break. I also saw something I have never seen. They had changed the antelope who were in with the rhino for 2 zebras. Talking to the keeper they had been off display until the older zebra who was in there died. Then they were with the giraffe but they nipped at the giraffes. They were in with the rhino who were much sturdier. I watched them as the rhino tried to come to their hay pile, the turned around and kicked out with both feet several times chasing them away. Man! Zebras can be feisty!
March 11: Almond Joy Macaroons
I have never had or made a coconut macaroon. They were yummy and my class and children loved them.
March 8: cafe rio testing
We had to make cafe rio to measure exactly for portioning for the Beehives retreat. I have to plan the food. I mean we HAD to make cafe rio, we had to. PS it can serve a lot.
March 2: shadow forest project day 1

Feb 25: Garden store
We picked out plants for the garden. Lots of tomatoes and some beans, cucumbers, herbs and a few flowers.
Feb 24: Women's Conference
Loved these boxes at women's conference. I need to make some for myself. They will totally go with the theme of my home.
Feb 23: Bunny
We went to the library. There are often bunnies that eat the grass. They let people get pretty darn close.
Feb 20: Duplos
The duplos are fun for so many ages. Melanie loves to kick and hear them clatter around.

We caught our first sight of a dewberry flower. Hazel wanted to pick it but Rachel said Nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooo! We want it to be a dewberry!
Feb 16: Baby bananas
From HEB they were too cute! They are the size of a finger. I am putting them in Rachel's lunch.
Feb 15: Cashew chicken
This is a favorite meal, and also in the cookbook. I think I like this photo better.
