Pickle Time!!!!

So thanks to my generous neighbor we were given some cucumbers and I decided to try my hand at making pickles, surprisingly easy, boil canning jars, boil 1/2 vinegar 1/2 water pack jars with cucumber slices and 1 tbsp of pickling spice and top with water vinegar mix, then you boil everything in the packed sealed jars for 15 minutes.
Great activity with the toddler he loved packing the jars and ate a few cucumber slices as well.

Yumm!

I have been a stranger lately...........

With the daycare running i seem to have lost all extra time we are enjoying the summer and the weather has been good to us, the tomato's are ripening and fall is on its way..... Here we are at the parks museum in Tobermory Canada. Its amazing what a child can understand they have a lot of stuffed animals in the museum and my son at 2 was looking around horrified and I asked him what was wrong he replied 'there all dead mummy' as if I was oblivious to this information. Just goes to show you kids know more than we think.
