We have been at the beach the past week-yeah! We had lots of fun and I will post about that later.

| Good Night! |
Last Friday was the kids last day of school, Jacksons last day of preschool before starting Kindergarten-my baby is growing up. Jason took a picture of them on the way to school in the morning and I took one when we got home, looks like they had a tiring day!
Jackson asked if we could make homemade pasta the other day so we made some for dinner Saturday night. I remember making pasta with my Grandma and family growing up and it was a very precise activity(most cooking with grandma was...). You had to keep the crank going at one constant speed, no pasta could touch another piece, it all had to go into the pot at the same exact time, everything was very orderly. Fast forward several years to when I make it with the kids...
They were eating peanuts at the time so we had some peanut "skin" on the dough they touched. I also use the pasta machine to roll out fondant for baking so there were some blue flecks on some pieces. The kids would roll the crank slow then stop then go fast and guess what-the pasta still turned out delicious! I even let Lauren put the dough in the machine and catch it on the other side. The dough definitely was touching and it did just fine! Now, grandma would pass out at this next part but I used Ragu sauce-gasp! Anyways, it was fun to make as a family and everyone enjoyed a yummy dinner.
Poor Amanda, being the third child I'm sure she is going to get picked on a lot and its already starting. The kids decided to dress her like a princess. It was entertaining and she was a good sport for a while...
