fun with Grandmama on her birthday

Yesterday we went into town to meet some friends and play at the indoor playground. The last time we were there was Julianna's 2nd birthday - over a year ago! I realized that I rarely take the girls into town unless we are going to church, so it's a rare treat :)

Julianna and her friend Kayleigh had a blast with the slides!


Lydia couldn't quite get her balance in the ball pit, and spent most of the time riding on lots of different toys.


And Isaac, well... he mostly slept, but stayed awake long enough for a few photos. [Notice that he is wearing a legit outfit as opposed to a sleeper. For the second time in his life. What can I say? The little guy knows how to relax - his mommy basically hasn't put him in anything but his pajamas since his birth 6 weeks ago.]


Today is Mom's birthday and we have friends coming over for dinner - lasagna! From scratch. Really scratch. Mom brought italian sausage seasoning, and we made sausage. And last night we made ricotta cheese. And this morning we made noodles with wheat I grew in the field behind our apartment. Ha ha. Just kidding about the noodles! I do not grow wheat. And I do not make lasagna noodles. But we did make the sausage and ricotta.

Good thing Mom is here to help out :) And celebrate her birthday with all of us!
