Hot Weather!

Today is HOT HOT HOT! The temperature had already gone up to 102 degree here in Northeast GA. If that's not hot enough to melt, tomorrow is gonna be 108 degree. YIKES! I don't ever remember Georgia being that hot in June. I hope everyone will stay hydrated and cool from the sun. Don't forget water & sunblock, even if you're just going to the store.

Be thankful if you have access to water! :)

Keep those sunburn away!

Now, updates on my lil' bug! We can't forget about him right? :) He is still a very curious and loving boy. He loves to taste the fresh veggies from Mimi & Papa's garden. We picked some tomato, green bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, also some blueberries. Conner learned how to pick a blueberry  off the bush. Sometimes, if we're walking the dog, he would stop by the bush and eat the blue ones. Such a smarty pant! I noticed that he prefers raw food than processed food (like cheese puff, et). I guess I should be happy, right? He really LOVES hummus. I used to dislike those until my mom had me tried the Sabra's roasted red pepper hummus. It's the best! It’s so full of good protein. It’s good for those lil' picky eater who doesn't like meat. There's never a quiet time for me to have snack on hummus and pita bread without having Conner come running to me and hog on my dip. Unless he is napping...hey that's a good idea. haha!

So good! Try it with fresh raw veggies or pita chips.

Lots of green bell peppers!

Eating his first fresh picked tomato! (notice the dirt on his forearm...such a boy!)

What a big zucchini!

My first batch of spinach...probably the only batch because the plant is dying in this heat.

So guess what? 4 more days until our family vacation to Michigan!! All I can think of is the commerical for Pure Michigan. haha! We're gonna stay with BG's family over 4th of the July week. Fireworks, bonfire, ice cream, watermelon, and BEACH is on the top of my Summer vacation list. As BG's list is golf. haha! I'm so exciting because this will be my first Green's trip in the Summer time where's it's going to be WARM! Usually, when I visit Michigan, I have to wear my jacket/coat/sweater at some point. ;) Maybe this time I don't need it. I'll let it collet dust over the weekend for all I care. ha!

Tim Allen...where are you? :)

I know that Conner is going to have a lot of fun playing with his nephews and niece, especially on their 5 acres land. So many "boy" adventures are waiting to be explored! I will be sure to take lots of pictures and blog about it when I get back. Stay tuned!

Berries, berries & more berries!

Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries & blackberries. No matter what kind of berries that we have in the kitchen, it won't last long. We love all kinds of berries! Summer time is a great time to get them. We have some blueberry bushes at my parents' house. We can pick all we want! Today, my dad brought home a gallon each of blackberries and blueberries from a local farm. He would have brought home some strawberries too but the season is over for it. Conner had his first blackberries today and LOVES it. He would cried if he can't have anymore. Oh dear! :) I also got to try making my first blackberry clobber. It was good but just a little tarty. Oh, I would love it if we could get some huckleberries from my family in Montana. They are my favorite! It's very much similar to blueberries but it's more purple and sweeter. Or so I think. Berries, I love them all!

Some of the blackberries were twice the normal size!
Look, it's big as Conner's thumb!

This boy loves blackberries!

Mess-Free Artsy Paint Bag

Today was suppose to be another rainy day. Lucky, we got some sunshine but it was too wet to play outside. We (Conner & I) wanted to do something fun! Then I remembered this idea that I had found through Pinterest. It's "paint-in-a-bag" that's taped to the window. It's something to keep my lil' boy busy & having fun at the same time. :)

Finger painting in a bag? Ummm, yes. It's MESS FREE! All you need is a Ziploc bag, a couple squirts of paint & a strong tape to keep it on the window.

This is where I found the idea through Pinterest...click here!

It's such a fun and mess free idea! Conner enjoyed playing with visual art while I'm a happy momma. I don't have to clean up afterward! Plus, I get to join in the fun! Conner's face kept smiling when he realized what this simple bag of paint can do. I would be doing this again for another rainy day!
