I really enjoy sharing my passion for helping improve the earth we live on with, well, just about everyone really. Education should really begin at home and one of many ways you can try to do so without leaving your children feel bogged down in "life lessons learned" is to allow them to enjoy a movie with you.

And Baby Makes Four (Five If You Count Our Dog)
It was a post like this that started Small Fries.
Baby Ironhide has finally joined us here on the outside.
Welcome to the world son. Mommy, daddy, your big sister, and I'm sure even the dog - love you very much.

Pintesting In The Kitchen - Smoothie #1
Today's pintest come from this pin and the information found here.
I chose to use the "Green Smoothies Rule!"
Just about all of the ingredients I used were frozen except for the banana. Also, my frozen pineapple is mixed with mango. Where the option was, "water, kefir, or yogurt", I chose to use some flavored Greek yogurt.
Blend your ingredients until smooth.
I had plenty left over for later so I stored it in a Mason jar and put it in the fridge.
Try not to use cups like these for your smoothie because it seems it's too difficult for your little one to get the smoothie out.
Initially my little lamb was just happy to be given something special but she didn't finish it right off the bat. But later that evening she snuggled up under her Big Bird blanket with her smoothie and some Sesame Street and she polished it off.
The smoothie was worth trying. In fact, the spinach seemed so well hidden I may be adding 1/2 cup a spinach to smoothies that don't call for it!

Little Lambs Personal Pumpkin Patch
The other day we re-visited the lovely Circle S Farm here in central Ohio. Even though our daughter was young the first time we took her, she was still able to find enjoyment in the activities there were. We try never to underestimate what she may or may not be able to absorb.
Obviously this year she was able to "absorb" and enjoy even more than she was last year. We like to end our day with a hay ride into the Circle S pumpkin patch. Because one of my brother-in-laws had already grown quite a lot of pumpkins, our little lamb also found herself having quite a few pumpkins. I had planned to let her pick a pumpkin anyway but my husband decided against it.
All went very well into the pumkin patch until we got back onto the hay ride and she noticed she was the only one without a pumpkin. We assured the concerned parents that she had pumpkins at home and that we had taken her into the patch for the joy of running around in it.
She stayed pretty upset with us. Even in the car she was sure to express her displeasure and feelings of being slighted. And then she passed out for a nap.
When we got home, we snuck her into her crib and I set to work in the living room setting up her own personal pumpkin patch to remind her that she did indeed, have pumpkins.
I set her Disney fairys tent at the end of the hallway with the intention of her having to use it to get into the living room.
Where she would come upon her own, personal, blanketed, pumpkin patch.
Perhaps she was too groggy when we coaxed her into the pumpkin patch but the idea never seemed to land with her. The idea was worth a go and I may try something similar in the future, but I thought I'd throw it out there for those of you who have children who may give you the reaction I expected.

I Had A Dream
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had a dream.
I dreamed that my daughter came out with white skin more like her fathers than than that she had my own caramel colored skin, that she had blond, curly hair, and that she was quite the mischievous little person. That dream came true.
The other night I had another dream. I was once again pregnant and I was having my sonogram to find out if my new little lamb to be would be a boy or a girl. "Congratulations! It's a boy! . . . . and three girls."
I woke up right away.
