Easy Peasy Peach Crumble
My quest continues to find the perfect quick and easy dessert that my whole family will love. This time I’m making homemade Peach Crumble. I found a great recipe for the Peach Crumble, and I’ve altered it just a bit. The recipe is very simple and calls for Canned Peaches, Brown Sugar, Flour, Cinnamon, and Butter. Yep, you read that right, just five ingredients.
I added a little extra Brown Sugar and Cinnamon to the Canned Peaches, and they were so tasty. This was one fast recipe, but only Dylan and I were fans of the Crumble. James and Thade just aren’t Peach fans, oh well…
I thought that this recipe could also be made with any Fruit Pie Filling that is your favorite, and the Crumble topping would be great with just a little Oatmeal added in. I think I might have to give a Cherry Crumble or Apricot Crumble a try, with a big scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream on top too. Maybe even Apple, or Blueberry, or Blackberry, o.k. time to get to the store, I’m ready for DESSERT!

Walking the Recycling
My boys love to go for walks. If I even say the word “go” Dylan will run and grab his shoes and stand by the front door. Yesterday I thought it would be fun to walk to the Post Office, and drop off our recycling along the way. Just a few blocks away we found a place where you can drop off aluminum cans to benefit a local charity.
I loaded up the stroller with two bags of aluminum, and we started on our walk. We walked to the drop off, and the nicest lady hollered to us “Thank you for recycling with us”, Thade felt proud that he was doing something nice for the environment. We made our way to the Post Office, and we spotted a few more cans on the trip. I picked them up, and we would make one more stop to recycle them on the way home.
When we went back Terry (recycling lady) was outside so we introduced ourselves, and Thade handed her the found cans. He was proud of the extra cans that he found on the walk. I hope that this will become a weekly tradition for us, it is a great walk for Thade, and a great way to help the Planet (just a bit) too.

Pretend School Day
Both of the boy’s were up extra early today, so I declared that today would be a pretend School day. I told Thade that we would be going through our new Morning Routine, and we needed to be out the door by 8:00 a.m. (wink)
We have a pretty basic routine: both boys dressed, faces washed, teeth brushed, breakfast, backpack on, and out the door.
Thade wasn’t really buying the idea of a pretend School day though, he knows that School doesn’t start for nine more days… Oh well, practice makes perfect.
How do you help your kids get back in to the school routine?

Thade loves his camera that Grandma gave him. A few days ago I caught him setting up shots of his favorite Super Heroes in the living room. Even Dylan enjoys carrying the camera and snapping shots here and there.
I see two Photographers in my future.
