Actually- nothing exciting has really happened. We've kind of just hung around all week. Our crazy neighbors have added some excitement. It's strangely kind of fun having our own reality show next door!
I've played with my Vitamix a little this week. I was able to grind wheat in it. Which is just the best thing ever. I used to borrow a friend's grinder and grind a whole bucket and then keep that in the freezer. But no more! I can grind what I need, when I need it. I'm really excited about that!
I made pancakes with my freshly ground wheat that morning. I think Will enjoyed them.
Lee was teasing me about this, what he called, 'butterfly collar' shirt that Will is wearing. I had forgotten to put a onesie on under neath. So I think Lee was secretly glad that Will made a mess of it!
And then I tried making peanut butter. Worked like a charm as well. We go through a lot of peanut butter around here, and I like buying the Organic Natural kind... but it's kind of expensive. So now I can just order peanuts online (for much cheaper) and make my own. I'm really jazzed about this as well.
That's really all I have for you. It's been so pretty here- I put down the windows everyday and we just enjoy it. Everything is starting to bloom and I noticed the pollen is starting to show up everywhere. Our warm weather should be here to stay so it was really nice taking all the plastic off the windows! And we are really excited that this is our last winter having to put plastic everywhere to keep out the drafts!
So that's it for now. Maybe we'll do something exciting over the weekend. :)

- WHAT??? Peanut butter?! We are in the same boat. We eat it all the time, and the organic and natural stuff is expensive. The taste is so much better, though. You're like a Pandora's Box to all things amazing.
