Spring is finally here. The days are longer and warmer.
We are loving the outside world.
The trees. The sunshine. The birds. The bugs. Even the bees and wasps buzz around with the promise of summer.
Our front porch is starting to bloom where over the winter it was just dormant and lifeless. I could go on and on and on about how we love these days. This lemon-thyme plant has come back for several years now. I wish you could smell it through the screen!
We've been spending a lot of time on the front porch and in the yard this week. It's like we cannot get enough of it. But please, remind me of this feeling in the middle of July when we're blasting the a/c because we're melting!
Tootsie Roll loves getting to splish and splash this year. She is so excited to just discover every single thing. And Pirate? She discovered something cool. She was playing with the water hose, running one of her obstacle courses and cooling off when we looked up and saw a rainbow!
There are few things Pirate loves more than a rainbow. Even when she was itty bitty, rainbows have been her thing. And what perfect timing! Do you know what today is? It's National Find a Rainbow Day! While many people have many thoughts about rainbows, in our house we are thankful that it serves as a reminder of God's love and goodness. 
As for me: sitting on the porch, soaking up the vitamin D, feeling the heat of the sun on my face, drinking my coffee, having my coffee stolen by a six year old, and just watching the girls play has been the highlight of my week.
And that's what we've been into this week. I know this isn't our typical post, but we've been a bit distracted by all things spring.

It's peanut butter jelly time!
Throw your pan on the stove and turn it on. We like to turn the burner on somewhere between medium and almost high heat.
Once the butter is melted, toss the tortilla into the pan and let it toast up nicely. When the first side is tan and crunchy, flip and repeat.
It's probably going to get a tad messy. Ours did. It's OK. It just adds character.
When both sides are done, plate it.
In case you didn't know, today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! I don't know about you, but the good ol' PB & J was certainly a staple of my childhood.
But how did I know of this spectacular holiday? I discovered National Holiday Calander! Oh, it's fun. Yay, for something for almost every day of the year!

In preparation for this yummy holiday, I learned a few things. The typical American kid will have consumed about 1,500 of these sandwich masterpieces by the time they graduate high school. Also, a recipe for the Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich first appeared in Good Housekeeping magazine in 1896. Wow! (These fun little factoids were found in this Wikipedia article!)
Today, Pirate and I want to share our own take on the peanut butter and jelly with you.
Behold, the Peanut Butter & Jelly Quesadilla!
It's everything you've dreamed of in a pb&j, but it's snug in a warm, crunchy quesadilla.

What you will need:
-peanut butter
-jelly
-tortilla
-butter
You guys! This is so simple.
First, you're going to grab a tortilla and something to spread your peanut butter and jelly with.
Spread peanut butter on one side of your tortilla, and jelly on the other side.
Fold the tortilla, smashing the pb & j together.

When both sides are done, plate it.
Don't burn your tongue off, remember that it just came off the stove.
IT. WILL. BE. HOT.
Be careful.
Once it's cooled and safe to eat, dig in and enjoy!
This is one of our favorites! Something about the warm PB & J and the crunchy quesadilla... mmmmm! I can't explain why it's so great. It just is.

NOTE: Always be safe, use good and sober judgment when using the stove, knives, or any thing I have yet to think of! Good adult supervision is always advised. Make smart decisions, future you will thank you.
Happy National PB&J Day!
