Beans and Donuts

The past two months have flown by and have been fairly uneventful. We've enjoyed a warmer than usual winter so we even got to play outside a few days in January. The boys are learning to love their little sister more and more. And she gives them the best smiles. We had a bit of a rough Feburary, we've been sick pretty much all of it except for a few days. So we are looking forward to March. :)


I was cleaning the cubboards and found some really old dried split peas, lentils and beans. So we decided to do some art with them. And then we used the leftovers for construction play.

So Adam wanted donuts. I thought, how hard could it be to make them? A little online searching, a whole lot of Crisco, and viola! Home-made donuts! It only took two batches for me to get the hang of it. I'm not saying they're like the ones in the store, but Adam loved them.




Alex was on his way outside with Daddy to look for bugs. He was fully equiped with magnifying glass, coat, and glasses. I had to take a picture. :)
