Cul-De-Sac's ROCK!

I made some healthy cookies for snack today, they for sure tasted, um, healthy LOL. Not yucky really, just not too yummy either...at least the kids enjoyed them LOL.
2 large bananas, 1 cup quick oats, 1 tbs peanut butter, 1/4 cup ground flax seed, sprinkle of brown sugar and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Mash the bananas then combine everything else in. I used cooking spray on my foil, they wanted to stick a bit, cook at 350 for about 15 min. Quick and easy!
 
Another work day over at the house. I think we are going to hate moving out of this house...in about 5 years...because of this cul-de-sac, and all the kids that live here that are going to be such good friends for Xan, Haddie, Lily and Jericho. I think being on a cul-de-sac just may be a requirement in our next house, we haven't even moved in yet and it is already amazing.
 
When we got there today some kids were out playing "tennis" with their Grandparents. My kids were handed racquets and joined in. I love that everyone is included...and that all the parents/Grandparents watch out for each others kids. They call out car, on the rare occasions a car drives in, and make sure all the kids get on the sidewalk. A couple of the neighbors have also been over a few times to check out all the work we are doing inside the house. All this interaction is going to take some getting used to LOL, I am not a hermit or anything...but we have spent the last 8 ish years in our current house, on a crazy busy street, we know none of our neighbors beyond waving high or giving the kids some fruit and veggies during the summer, and now we are in a 100% different situation...kinda strange Hahaha.
 
Go Haddie...check out that form!

 
They had so much fun...yay for tennis balls being on the softer side and 4 1/2 year olds not having much power behind their swing...nothing got broke or dented with all the balls flying around LOL.

Our little Lily Bug is not really a sports lover, and she prefers her playing outside doses short and sweet. Here she is heading inside with Daddy to do something else.

In Bug Heaven :)

Xander got busy helping us clean today...Xan you are a genius! You can clean a lot of floor with the sweepers on your feet LOL.

When it started getting chilly and darker everyone came inside for a movie.

A sea of doors drying.

Trim up...and looking good. Now we just need to putty, then sand and repaint the nail holes. It is never ending I tell ya, getting one job done...just creates 3 more jobs. We will never get done.
