Just Another Saturday...

Well it was pretty much a normal Saturday around here. Which was needed, it seems as though we have been pretty busy lately. We started off by making pancakes and sorting laundry. Then we headed for the Farmers Market, it was Black Eye Pea Day. yum yum. They had several different recipes prepared using BEP and fresh cornbread. Parker shelled some BEP and Paxson observed with hesitation (as he does with new experiences). They enjoyed a popsicle and selected some fruits and vegetables for the following week. I will so miss the Farmers Market this winter. Once we got home we had lunch, swam a little and the boys rested. After checking my email (and Facebook ) I attempted to start cleaning and Paxson woke up. Paxson's idea of cleaning is pulling all the DVDs from the cabinets opening them and throwing the DVDs, dumping all the plastic bowls out of the kitchen cabinets, opening boxes and pouring things out from the pantry and pouring out whatever he is eating or drinking at moment. Parker's idea of helping clean is to constantly try and explain that he really should not have to help clean because Paxson makes all the messes, not him. He is a such a good debater. :)


Paxson was pointing out that there was something"NASTY" on the ground. That is his new favorite word. He says it with great enthusiasm and repeats it many times so everyone knows what he means.

Parker shelled almost a whole bag of black eye peas from their pods. Were pretty city I suppose. It's kinda sad huh, he has never participated in removing beans from their pods. So I do love opportunities like this. He wanted to buy another bag (BEP in their pods) to take home for cooking. Mommy selected the bag that was pre-shelled. You gotta take the shortcuts sometimes. :)


Now do you really think Paxson did this all by himself? Paxson's room was completely clean prior to this explosion. Believe it or not this only took about 15. Things were even pulled from the closet shelves. (I know you mothers understand how quickly this can be achieved.)
