a few more...

When Joe and I came home from Georgia, Nana and Caroline took over the kitchen. They had already made meatballs, and now were making lasagna rolls. Boy did our house smell good!!!! Caroline LOVED the lasagna rolls as always and Nicholas LOVED the meatballs. I LOVE it when my kids finally realize that they like foods other than hot dogs, chicken, and tomatos! Even Molly ate some lasagna rolls... Nana can come back for a visit anytime she wants!!!!!!

On Nana's last morning we made Monkey Bread. The kids were a little confused by the name but Caroline had fun helping me make it.. Nicholas wanted nothing to do with it when it was time to eat. But wouldn't you know it, that after we came home from a walk he decided he wanted to try and realized how much he really liked it! Now it's all the kids want for breakfast!

On our trip to Arizona, the kids really enjoyed seeing the Cactus. Nicholas really wanted to take one home with us, but we never got around to finding one. So, Nana to the rescue. She picked up a few cactus at the airport on her trip to come see us... Then on our walk on her last day here we found some prickly pear cactus too and Joe brought home a hunk to plant....
