It rained for most of July. Now, only the third day into August, I am suspecting the same could happen this month. We woke up to the thermometer reading 44 degrees at 7am. It poured on and off all day. We conquered it: Lucy and I played inside all day together, gathered veggies from the garden in the pouring rain (Lucy pulled her first carrots ever), made summer stew and homemade donuts!
 |
| This is Lucy's arrangement. She made a bed with the tongue depressors and such, put mama mouse inside it, covered her with a paper towel blanket and made playdoh "babies" to put on top of the blanket. |
 |
| She was very proud so I took a photo of her to send to Matt at work. She gave him a crinkly-nose smile. |
 |
| We made sprouted grain donuts. Lucy helped knead the dough. She was so excited. |
 |
| Lucy cut out most of the shapes with my guidance. She was so excited I had a hard time guiding her hand before she pressed down on the dough but we managed. |
 |
| A smile for the camera. |
 |
| Frying in coconut oil is a lovely thing. |
 |
| Our product. Unfortunately Lucy's special custom shapes were already devoured by the time I took a photo. She made cute little long shapes and said "fry these too mama!". I have to give credit to the recipe and I highly recommend it: http://nourishedkitchen.com/sprouted-grain-doughnuts/ |
Rainy days don't get better than this. I am a lucky mama.
 |
| A snooze after a snuggle. |
