Picnics and Brownies!

Matt was home on Friday and we had a picnic at a nearby park. We got some Chick-Fil-A and Rachel got some time to play on the playground. She likes the swings more and doesn't usually pick the baby swings anymore. We have had a pretty easy going week. Our mornings have been free and we have been hanging around the house a lot. Today, I thought we would make some brownies and Rachel really enjoys "helping" in the kitchen. She helped pour in the oil, water, and eggs and also stir the brownie mix around. As you can see, she really enjoyed licking the batter off the spoon after I had poured it into the dish. She then proceeded to use her fingers to wipe up every little bit of batter that had splattered onto the counter. Too cute!
























She loves our male beta fish, who is about 3 years old now. His name is Mr. Henry Roberts (named by some 9th graders) and has done outstanding with very little attention from us. She wants to "eat fish" and what she really means is feed the fish. Since he had already eaten, she decided to try to kiss him.
