Culinary
The children helped make treats for their pet dogs. And the only one that tried licking the spoon was my daughter. Go figure.

Ok, so did ANY of your pets eat the treats we made? The mix ended up having WAY more flour than the recipe called for, but I promise, my feelers won't be hurt if EVEN your pooch didn't eat them! ;()

I don't think I've given a proper introduction to our school pet.

Meet Azul (name given by Domi).

I rescued him at a dinner banquet in which he was the centerpiece at our table. He's already grown and his color is beautiful now. The kids enjoy feeding him and watching him.

Ita comes to visit
We had a treat yesterday. Mia brought her Ita to come visit the casa for a while. Ita (short for Abuelita), was visiting from McAllen. It was wonderful meeting you Ita. And now I know where Mama Tanya gets her warm fuzzy hugs from.

I just love how focused they all look when they are working on their projects!

What a fab shot of Sophia soooo proud of her painting. LOVE Azul...perfect name. My mom had a wonderful time and was beyond impressed with Casa T. She wants to go there :)
Niles LOVED his treat...we're rationing them. Didn't mind one bit about the extra flour. Before I told him to sniff them, Daryl thought they were cookies!

Lauren almost ate one when we got home! Yikes!! Then she thought that was hysterical that she almost ate a dog treat. :)
Rascal LOVED his treats and between the two girlies the whole package was his dinner! He said you can make more anytime!
