When Weddings Give You Lemons….

…Make lemonade! haha. The main decor of Rachel’s wedding reception was fresh lemons, so needless to say, there has been an abundance of them around here. We’ve made lots of fresh lemonade, which is soooo delicious. And it’s a great activity for kids!

In case you’re curious, we just mix 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, 4 cups of water, and 2/3 cup of sugar (or a tiny bit less) in a pitcher.

We enjoy using the juicer my parents have. We might have to get one of these things for ourselves, because with it, the kids and I are able to whip up a gallon of lemonade in less than 5 minutes!

As a side note, I love when they stick raspberries on their fingers and then eat them. It’s just adorable!

(Chase’s eyes have been puffy and swollen here due to allergies. This has never happened to him before, so I’m guessing there’s something in bloom here that we’re not used to. We’ve given him Claritin and we did eye drops once, but those don’t seem to be doing much. Advice?)
