When trekking, or tea-ing...

...we can thank God for freedom to wander, the luxury to cook whatever, whenever, however, the health to enjoy these moments together, and the creativity He gave us to come up with these fun ideas!! :)



Sam wanted a tea party. (real tea of course, lemon zinger, one of the best!)

I suggested we make cakes for it.

He liked that idea.

we ran out of icing sugar, but vanilla pudding mix makes nice icing too.

We licked spoons, and smooshed muffin tops into sprinkles.

Sam delivered an invitation to his sister.

She accepted. :)

Candle was lit. China was set.

And then we read, "You can do it Sam", which is incredibly cute. (and all about a mom and son making cakes for their friends!! Dave's Aunt is a Librarian, and she gets us these beautiful books!!)





A walk in the woods when the coughing was at bay for a few hours. Mercy is still pretty throaty in her coughing now, and was up into the wee hours of the morning with aching ears last night, but we push on. :)



Isn't this little critter cute??? He was shy though, and wouldn't let me get a closer look!
