Abigail's Souvenir

On Saturday the girls and I went to the botanical garden for a picnic and some fun. We really enjoyed our visit. There was a orchid contest on display that was beautiful! The fish in the Japanese gardens were almost jumping out of the water to be near to us. Then as we were walking out Abigail stopped to smell the flowers, lost her balance, and fell face first against the decorative fence surrounding the flower bed. I picked her up and rushed to find first aid help. They didn't have much more on hand than band-aids, so we drove home. So here it is, two days later.

Sweet!

We were given a gift of "Smores in a Jar" for Easter from some friends. The girls have been begging to make it since then. But I kept putting it off while we had too many other treats in the house to make another. Finally we put it together as our FHE dessert. It ended up being WAY sweet (how could it not?) but it was fun!

The recipe is graham cracker crust, topped with M&Ms followed by marshmallow peeps! One spoonful and you're on a sugar high!

This bird (I think is a cave swallow) has been caught on three separate nights roosting right there. On the handle of our screen door.
