Larsen Poultry Ranch - homesteading journey

[Larsen Poultry Ranch]

Got a tray of lettuce, spinach, and kale started this morning. I'm hoping to get the rest of the seeds started tonight after the kids go to bed.

Need to make sugar cookie dough tonight too, so I can bake it tomorrow night for the baby sprinkle on Saturday.

Got the cookie dough made! Tray of tomato seeds and greens seeds started! Woohoo!

Now I just need to finish clearing a few of the raised beds from last year so I can plant some seeds directly.

Bribes are not effective if the small motor musces that control potty training are not completely finished. If he can pedal a bg wheel/trike/bike he can control potty training. If you notice most 2 year olds cannot pedal a trike. 3 year olds can which s why boys take olger.

DS1 was 3 and we went on a 6 week trip to Kansas to visit relatives. We were pulling a travel trailer with our station wagon (years ago we had station wagons instead of SUVs). I had his little plastic potty in the trailer. Every couple hours we stopped by the side of the road and he sat on his potty. By the time we returned home from our 6 week trip, he was potty trained. I never bothered to try training our other 2 sons until they were 3. At 3 years old they trained fast.

Hmm, that's good info. He's finally pedaling the trikes at preschool. So should be soon I hope.

Tried the cute idea I found online for the sugar cookies. You color some of the dough and cut out small shapes, then place on your background dough, then very gently roll to adhere the layers. Then cut into shapes. I just used a dough knife thingy to make rectangles but you could get fancy with it. Then bake.

The first batch I put too close together on the pans and I had to cut or break them apart, but they still look pretty. The second batch, thankfully made using the leftover dough that had been squished to a tie dye, got left in the oven too long and is quite dark. Guess those are the ones staying home.
