Darby

For those of you who know me
you'll know that I'm not the kind of
mom that likes having helpers when I 
bake or do crafts...
But when you have a kid like Darby
sometimes it's easier to just give in.
My little man loves to bake!
And without Grandma or Nanny close by
sometimes I have to just give in.
He wanted to make cinnamon pull aparts.
The package had been in the cupboard for ages!!
I wanted oatmeal cookies!!!
The dough was a little tough to work with.
Took a lot of extra flour.
I helped with the dough a bit.
It felt funny when we were working
with it. I didn't think much on it though.
They were sopose to rise a bit.
Still I shrugged it off.
Even the icing was tuff to work with.
He was so proud of himself!
Then when I tasted them....
they tasted old!
But Dale and Darby liked them.
Breanna like me did not.
Later on after half of them where gone,
Dale looked at the box because there was still
another batch in there.
He discovered the expiry date...
2009!!!!
No wonder they didn't taste right!!
Needless to say we through the rest out!
Now when were hauling boxes out of
the cubboard we are checking the dates
on everything!!!

Darby -vs- the Volcano

So Darby was doing a project at school
 on Mt. Aso in Japan.
To better his grade he decided to
make a volcano out of
paper mache.
With daddy's help of course.
All I did was mix the goop then left.
So serious!
Look at the awesome job my man did
with the painting!!
Unfortunately it didn't exploded the  way he
had hoped.
Oh well. All in all he did a great job!!
Even if he didn't get a good mark like he
had hoped :(
The grading here is waaayyy to tuff!
But that's a whole different jar of pickles.

Kids!

Breanna got a hair cut!!
She's been asking for awhile now.
So our friend Kathy came over on her
lunch break one day and chopped it all off!!
Sorry Kathy I had to post the first snips.
An inverted bob.
See the look on her face!!!
She wanted more layers.....
So Kathy took the scissors to her head again.
Bre loves it!
Thanks Kathy your the best!!
