Other highlights of the weekend:

Day 4 and 5-Celebration continued...

Day 4-Discovery
The celebrating of Kyle's new job has continued. Yesterday I got to see Kyle's very own office. Its a big deal, folks. While he was finishing up on some things I took a spin in his new comfy office chair. As I was leaning back (almost put my feet on the desk..ha but thought it was not appropriate) I noticed something odd......



Kyle's explanation "I needed to eat my breakfast....then i didn't know what to do with the bowl." So under the table it went. Mr. Professional (I have taught him well) :)

Day 5-Treat
Mom and I decided to make Kyle something for his office. We needed something woodsy and manly. This is what mom came up with. Hopefully he doesn't see this before we give it to him tomorrow. ;)

Day 3-Homemade yogurt parfait

I have been making a yogurt parfait for a while and thought I would share it with yall since I made one today.

-1 cup of yogurt (I used french vanilla, you can use any kind you want)
-a few strawberries and blueberries (can use any fruit)
-1/4 cup of granola (of however much you want) or honey bunches of oats cereal (what I used today)
-a drizzle of honey
Mix together and enjoy! :)
Basically you can make it however you want. I change it up and add different fruits. It is a nice treat for a hot summer day.
