I’m nearing the end of another week, haven’t done a post, and still don’t have anything specific to write about. My boys are awesome, and cute. So I’m sure everyone wants pictures first. The camping ones are from fathers and sons.

I love Atlanta. There is tons to do around here, and lately the weather has been perfect. Today we went to the Southeastern Train Museum. It’s super close to our house: I actually found out about it from driving by on the way to get groceries. I checked the prices online…wasn’t sure I wanted to go. Then I found out that our library has free passes to check out. Sweetness. I had a great time, so did Peter. He loved the model trains and Thomas set in the gift shop. I liked imangining what it would be like to ride in a cramped sleeping car. I also learned more about sorting mail on trains while Peter stared at the model train far longer than I was interested in it. Who knew that old, run-down trains could be so interesting?

The weather is awesome. The boys and I go to parks a lot. Tuesday we went down to the park on the Chattahoochee. The playground was fun, and the river was beautiful. Peter fed ducks and geese goldfish. (You really aren’t supposed to feed the fowls. It’s bad for them. I know that. But it’s also making childhood memories.) It reminded me a lot of going down to the duck park as a preschooler. We fed the ducks bread, and had picnics, and I was still called Elizabeth, not Liz. I remember my dad giving me under-doggies on the swings, and I was scared at how high I was going, but asked for more too. Some of my best first memories are at that park. I’m hoping I’m giving my kids memories that will stick too.

One last funny from Peter. I try to avoid sugary cereals. We were at the store getting a movie and donuts and I decided to go ahead and get a box of fruit loops. Peter was so excited that cheerios came in different colors. “Look cheerios mommy, red, blue, green!” I had to inform him that they weren’t actually cheerios but fruit loops.  He kept calling them hoop-da-loops.  They are his favorite now, so I decided to bake half the box into a lemon square dessert. (I was combining two recipes and it didn’t turn out. Edible, but nothing like I was expecting.)
