Tisra asked what the lamp looked like, so when we got back from getting Owen I took it's picture. Then I found some pictures from Memorial Day that I failed to put up on the blog. So find a host of informative pixel collections below.

I made apple pie on Memorial Day...I cut out an apple in the crust...I made it look like the Mac apple. Aren't I clever?

I made blueberry pie on Memorial Day too. That's supposed to be a star.

I also made a chocolate chess pie...it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped but it was the first one eaten anyway.

With the left-over pie crust dough I made these little twists from a recipe in "Better Homes & Gardens" I didn't follow the filling recipe, just the idea for the twists. I filled them with Orange Marmalade Jelly that I had in the fridge. I propped them up on rolled up parchment paper so they wouldn't spill all over the place.

Our church's Memorial Day service always has military vehicles and paraphernalia outside for people to look over. I got a couple pictures of the Ivan and Aron in the big truck.

This is Madison sitting quietly on the couch while the boys are napping. She is as relieved as I am when they lay down.

The lamp.

Madison and the lamp. Can you believe she walks around my house on her hands? My boys are so impressed...or maybe it's me that's impressed.
