Peach and Blueberry Crisp

Last night I made a Peach and Blueberry Crisp.

Yum, people. Yum.

10 peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges

2 Pints of Blueberries (I always add more. Love.)

1/4 C. Sugar

1/4 C. Brown Sugar

Squeeze of a lemon or an orange

2 TBSP. Flour

Mix all together and dump into buttered baking dish.

Top with crushed almond cookies (and chopped almonds if you like crunch).

Bake 350 for 1 hour. 

Easy. Yummy. Everyone will love you.

And don't you deserve to be adored?

Of course you do.

Firsts.

Me: Caeden, kindergarten is a long word. Do you want me to write it?

Caeden: Of course not. Where is the chalk?

5 or 6 letters in ...

Caeden: Mom, this word never ends. I need to stop.

Me: You can stop if I can take your picture (haha).

Goofing around, although this picture looks pretty serious. There were numerous outtakes of the apple falling off. So cute and fun.

Everyone in Caeden's entire school wore the same t-shirt on the first day. I love the idea of that - I know it must have made the kids feel like they were not so different from each other ... and that they were all in this together.

His first day was really good. He was excited and ready. I didn't cry (another first - ha).

I asked him what his favorite part of his day was.

Caeden: Talking to Ms. Marchese (his new teacher - she is an absolute doll).

Wayne is home. Dave and Donna are leaving this morning. I need to step up and find a routine for all of us that makes sense so that everyone gets what they need. This morning when Claire woke up, she wouldn't even come to me. Wanted to snuggle with Grandma only. It's a sign that I need to spend more time with her (and Caeden).

But, today is a new day.

Swimming pool, maybe some picture taking...

And if I can get the kids to laugh, and Wayne to have what he needs ... well ... I know we are all on our way to better days.
