Badminton Fun

One of my favorite sports to play during the summer is badminton. Since we have a pretty long yard it makes a great place to play. Last weekend when my brother Craig came to visit with my parents, Paul and I, we set up our net for the first time this year. Since we haven't played in a year we lost many of our birdies while cleaning our shed. We found one to start with, but as you can see it didn't last too long. I may not be very good but I sure like to try and hit the birdie. It's a little more challenging now that I am pregnant. I can't run quite as fast as I used to.

Breakfast: A work in progress

On Wednesday June 25th my parents arrived for a two week visit. In being a good hostess I decided I would make them waffles the next day for breakfast. Waffles are one of my favorite breakfast to eat but I've never actually made them. This is usually Paul's job and since he had to go to work I thought I'd give it a try. As you can see by the picture the first one came out in a big pile of crumbles. I'm not quite sure what had happened. I followed the recipe and did everything Paul does but still some how couldn't seem to make it work. Luckily I have a very brave dad who still ate it anyway. I guess it still tasted good it just didn't look too pretty. By the third waffle I think I got the hang of it. I think from now on I will leave the waffle making up to Paul.
