Fun with Evelyn

Evelyn is such a doll. I'm lucky that I get so much time with her while Isaac is at Kindy. There is a friendly cat that lives next door and likes to spend time basking in the sun on our trampoline. Here he joined us on our front porch for a good chin scratching. (Look at my pretty new doormat!)


Evelyn loves to help in the kitchen. Usually I'll give her a mixing bowl and some flour to stir. This particular evening we got fancy with some rice and parsley in a spice shaker.


Looks delicious!


Then there are times when I really just need her occupied for a good stretch of time so I can accomplish something. A friend told me a trick her grandmother would use. Scoot them up to the sink, turn it on a trickle, and let them play. She's content for a good half an hour! A miracle!


By the way, I don't feel so bad letting the water run for Evelyn because Mike has been showering at work so often. He runs along the river during his lunch break then showers at work. AND he participated in a mini triathlon last minute on Saturday. ConocoPhillips had a team and someone couldn't make it, so Mike filled in for him. I'm so proud of my man!
