A Little Too Much Excitement!

We have had a very interesting past week!

First the kids and I did some baking together.

Joseph making No Bake Cookies...

Joseph mixing, before it went on stove. 

Joseph figuring out the cookie scoop.

One happy boy looking forward to eating the cookies!
And Katherine made BREAD - Honey Almond Sourdough (yes both projects were Gluten Free!)

Dough in pan before going in oven.
Baked bread cooling.


THEN... My brakes started making funny noises so we figured with the 100+ temperatures it would be best to fix Robert's car air conditioning... He and my dad put in several cans to recharge it! They also FIXED the tire that everytime Robert would air it back up SOMETHING on the car would break. The air conditioning seemed to be working better, but on the way home it was working less and less. About half way home the battery light came on in the car. So we just plan on taking BOTH cars into the repair shop first thing Monday morning. Get all kids up early Monday and we head out... Robert's car completely DIES right at the underpass for the highway - it ends up being towed in. 

Long story short, two days and about $1400 later... We now have two functional cars.

Other things going on... but going to save some for later. ;) Needless to say this has set us back a bit on trying to build the house...
