First Day of School

By

Both of the older kids started school today! Danielle is a Junior this year and drove herself to school this morning. She has Health, English, Adv. Biology, Mixed Media Art, and Math. She is also thinking about joining the year book team or whatever you call it.


Dylan is a Kinder-kid and I dropped him off. Luckily the teacher planned on parents staying around and we got to see a little of what the day is going to be like including story time and the Pledge of Allegiance.. His teacher is Mrs. O (Overland) and she seems like a great match for Dylan. Man those kids sure have a lot of energy. It sounds like he is going to learn some Spanish too since there are a couple of kids in his class that don't know much English yet.



Dylan sits at the blue table and is right between two girls (everyone is boy girl boy girl). The class has 26 kids and exactly half are boys. Hopefully he makes some good friends :)
His teacher also made care packages for the parents including a cute little note, kleenex, candy and tea.
The last picture is of what Lincoln thinks about having Mommy home all to himself. He and I have already cleaned the house, taken the dog for a walk and worked on some MOPS stuff. Maybe later we will go into town

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...

What the Happenings

Lincoln tried out Play-Doh for the first time a while ago. He really liked breaking it up into tiny pieces and trying to put it back in the container. And he didn't try to put it in his mouth too many times. As you can tell by the picture he got tired out from all the creativity pretty quickly so we'll try it again when he has a little more vigor for the squishy stuff. I think this picture is from our drive over to Richland a few weeks ago. We headed over there to visit Shane's grandma and the a bbq at his brothers house. The kids love pictures of themselves and Danielle took this picture of the both of them.  Waiting to get Shane's winter tires on the jeep, Lincoln had fun checking out the giant tires at Les Schwab. There was one big enough he could crawl into but he wasn't a fan of being shoved in there. He loves to climb and explore and get himself stuck, but only on his own accord. He does not like authority trying to tell him what to do (gee I wonder where ...
