Here she is studiously stirring the marshmellow/ butter mixture and the rice krispies together. She sure did a good job!
We also worked on putting in a new garden area. We planted some ground cover, bushes, and perrineals. Over the next few days we'll add edging and mulch. Probably a few more plants too, it still looks rather empty.
Then it was time for sports. The kids are getting pretty good at playing baseball. It's so heart warming when they get along and play together so well. I should have taken a picture to preserve the peaceful moment, they weren't even fighting!
TBO found a toad while he was chasing one of the many balls that they hit. That was the end of their baseball game! After that all she wanted to do was play with froggy. Or was the frogger? Hopper? I don't remember, she called it so many different names! We even took him on our family walk when Cheesehead got home from work.
When we finally convinced Peanut to put the toad down so we could head inside, these tree frogs caught her eye. There are two of them in there, you can see the brown one looking out at you and the business end of the green one. I know it's not a very good picture, but I needed to get a picture of them in their home...
Yup, it's a birdhouse. Huh? Have you ever seen tree frogs make a home in a birdhouse before? Me neither!
Thank you for stopping by. Please leave me a message and a backlink. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Girl you need to give yourself a pat on the back!! You rock as a mom---and a friend too!!
Sounds like you have a really fun summer ahead!
What a great way to start off summer! Planting and cooking ~ two of my favorites too. Hope you have a great Summer!
The tiny toad is so cute! I'd have wanted to keep it as a pet too. I've never seen tree frogs around here, so no, I've never seen them move into a birdhouse.
Snacks sound wonderful right now! Peanut looks like she's doing a wonderful job! Birdhouse, that's not like any bird house I've ever seen :)
Anna- Aww, I'm blushing. I hope the kids think so too.
Lisa- Yes. This weekend we will be making Cheesehead father's day presents before we all head our seperate directions for a few days. I'm going to make the most of this summer.
Kathleen- If everything keeps going as well as the last two days have, it will be the best summer ever!
MMD- It was pretty cute, but too small to handle all of the love she would be sharing with him. I had to protect him from the mauling she would have given him. Peanut wanted to buy a house for tree frogs. Hmm, it doesn't look like I need to, does it? The birds certainly haven't been beating our door down to get in there.
Kathi- Those snacks are SO yummy. I don't think we've ever made a better batch of rice krispy bars. I think that "bird house" was really more decorative than anything. A remnant of my days of selling Home and Garden Party.
