Sugar Snap Peas!

Last night it rained 3 inches in our backyard. This morning I did some weeding and picked our first sugar snap pea crop of the year. There were SIX! I mock my excitement when i saw some big enough to pick. There were 2 ones that needed picked and I picked a few more just to have more than 2.

For the record, sugar snap peas are not so sugary raw. Alice will take a bite of the pea then spit it out, and shove the pod at my mouth. I am the disposal for all things yucky you know. I don't mind that much, its better than cooking 6 little pea pods. Plus, she keeps going back for more bites, so maybe she will eat them all anyway.

Also, I think I am going to delve into the world of flannel boards. There are pages you can print from old Friend magazines online, and with not too much work I can print, color, cover in mailing tape and iron onto interfacing. I am thinking a cute framed flannel board to put above Alice's play table, and a small plain one for travel. It sounds like a better church activity than some, and maybe they will even become a part of FHE. You know several months ago we had FHE. Even if it was just a read this lesson thing. We have become slackers.

That is all (currently) frequently written in blog.
