Scissoring

he opens and closes his mouth when the scissors open and close!

also, I love that the problem solving at the end resulted  in just ripping the paper...

*I know these are pointy scissors, we couldn't find the kid-friendly ones, but he wanted to cut...*

tomatoes... tomatoes... tomatoes

after Bill picked 40 pounds of tomatoes in one day...

we knew we needed to find some good uses for them.

loads of spaghetti sauce,

pizza sauce,

and some salsa

maybe more salsa in our future.

God has blessed us this year with a very abundant garden! :)

Chatty Connor

oh you know... just an afternoon chat with the cousins.

And I let him hold the phone!  This is big stuff!

This one with April talking cracks me up ...

She says something about "and we don't get a cookie" and I just laugh every time!
