The Good, the Bad, and the Delicious

This weekend was interesting. We loved the weather and had lots of fun together, but we had a few mishaps too. We will start with the Good:

We spent most of Saturday afternoon in our backyard digging up our strawberry beds and mowing our lawn (for the second time this season). When growing strawberries, it is a good idea to take out all the old plants every year of two and replant the starts. It felt good to be outside and enjoy the weather, and the kids loved being outside too.


Two summers ago, we found this little kid tent at a garage sale for a buck or so. Kyle got it out on Friday and played with Ethan and Brooklyn in it. Ethan was so excited and as you can see, Brooklyn loved it too.We found an awesome garage sale on Saturday morning. A family was moving to Hawaii and leaving nearly everything behind. We found some major bargains and they even gave us their entire arsenal of fertilizers and pesticides for free! We are set for a while now. (click on the picture to see it larger)

Now for the Bad:

Sadly, little Brooklyn got a little sunburned from our yard work on Saturday. We kept her in the shade, but it mustn't been good enough. She took a nap on her side with her binkie in her mouth so only half of her face is red and she has a white spot where her binkie was. We feel so bad about it. Kyle thinks she looks like Two-Face from Batman, and I think she looks more like the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera.
Saturday morning we got into a little fender-bender with a car. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Our tank of a truck got a little scratch, and the other car lost its bumper. The funny thing about living in a small community is that you can't go unnoticed when you are at the side of the road with the police. We had three of our neighbors say they saw us, and who knows how many more saw our shame.
As for the Delicious part of our weekend:

We love to make breakfast on the weekends. Mmmm, boy!

We made our good old standby and personal favorite on Friday, Crepes with fruit and sweetened cream cheese. You can find the recipe for this deliciousness on our food blog located on the side pannel under "My Food Blog," or at http://eatdrinkandbemorrey.blogspot.com. Give it a try, in our opinion they are much better than what you can find at IHOP.
This morning we tried out a new Belgian Waffle recipe, with the help of fresh blackberries (on sale for 99 cents at Macey this week)! We didn't post this recipe, as we are still trying to find one we like as much as one we had at my mom's house a few months back (sadly she lost the recipe). We've already tried several, but still no such luck in finding one that compares.
Bonus Feature
If you remember from last week's post, Ethan likes to put any random object on his head and say it is a hat. So, today at church we were trying to keep Ethan quiet during sacrament meeting and had pulled virtually everything out of the diaper bag, hoping something would catch his interest for at least a minute or two. Ethan grabbed one of his diapers (thankfully it was a clean one), put it on his head, stood up on the bench, and declared to the congregation that he had a "diaper hat." Loudly. During the quietest part of the meeting. Again. And again. That's our little boy! We looked around and saw many of our neighbors chuckling.
