Oh, The Simple Things

This picture may be a little bit confusing. No worries! I am going to explain!

This is a Teenie Beanie Baby. We got this little guy when we went through McDonalds yesterday.
The story to this is...
Chloe loves to chew ANYTHING. She's good at it too. All the toys we got from pet stores always ended up torn up and un-fluffed (meaning all of the stuffing had been ripped out) But our Chloe prefers stuffed animal toys than the hard rubber ones. One day my mom was cleaning and found an old McDonalds toy. She gave it to Chloe, who LOVED it. It took her a few months to even rip it a little bit, when the expensive pet store toys would be gone within the first week.
So yesterday when we saw the sign for those little toys, we thought that Chloe could use a new toy, we even got excited. Isn't that Pathetic?
Anyway, when Chloe saw this new toy, she went crazy. She took it everywhere with her. So cute!

Fun Cooking

Yesterday I decided I wanted to have an egg salad sandwich for lunch, so while I boiled the eggs, I cleaned the kitchen.

I used my new hard-boiled egg slicer to, what else? Slice the egg. It was fun to use!




The yummy egg all sliced up.



The things that I added to make it yummy.



yum yum!

Cucumbers!!!

This was my first year of growing cucumbers, and I was really excited to see them growing. Now I've picked the first 2! I'm so happy!

Here they are!


Ta-da!

Thinking on Saturday... again.

Last week I started doing the "thinking on Saturday" posts. My mom at Hospitality Lane is doing it too, so be sure to check hers out!

I'm not thinking much on this Saturday, but what I have been thinking, I'll share with you.

1. Right now I'm hungry... hoping breakfast comes soon!

2. My cucumbers and other veggies are finally getting bigger. The cucumbers are getting more round! Yes! So much better than skinny little things.

3. I should finish painting my model rocket soon. Where is the sand paper so that I can sand it down? Then put the ladybug design on it, then send it up into the sky!

See? My brain must be temporarily shut down :)
I should hope it gets running again soon!

Til' Later,

Art and Yummy Food!

Yesterday we went to the Library. Because I like to make cards and to scrapbook, I have been wanting to get idea's for creative lettering. So I got a really neat book on it, the book is filled with idea's, but I've been doing my own lettering and then just using the idea's from the book for filling them in.

Yesterday I also made these yummy treats.
It is green peppers, tomato's, and mozzarella cheese on top of a french baguette cut into flat pieces like you see here. Before we put the toppings on, we spread a mixture of Olive Oil, Garlic, Sea Salt, and Dried Basil Leaves on the pieces of bread. After the oil and toppings were put on, we ground pepper on top of each one, and then broiled them for only a few minutes, when the cheese was melted we took them out and they taste so good!



Don't they look good? They are!
If you've never made these before, you should!

Thinking on Saturday...

If you read my mom's blog, Hospitality Lane, you may have seen some "Thinking on Saturday" posts. She invited anyone to join her in this little party thing. I'd like to, but mine will most likely be different.

Things I have thought (or maybe said) today,

1. Chloe stop licking my face... Oh, wait she has to go outside.

2. OH NO!!! Eggs, please don't burn!

3. This bacon is AMAZING!

4. Jonathan, give me the remote, I don't like this one! It's too sad!

5. JONATHAN!

Okay, most of those things are things I said, so what is on my mind?

Mikey has been really tired... poor him!
I kind of know what that's like. He has
been working so hard at Longwood Gardens,
But he loves it!

What am I going to do today?
Ride my new bike? Play inside?
Read? Write? Take Chloe on a walk?
There are options but I do that stuff
All the time.

My hair is finally behaving, uh-oh!
That could mean it will be messy tomorrow!

I really don't have too much on my mind.
Unfortunately, that makes for a boring post. sorry!
