Kids

OK so I know that i am more than a little behind. Here are some things that took place last week at work.

Tuesday: Setting - It is around 3:45 Ethan is playing with the magnets on the fridge and Holland is wiggling over by the fireplace.

The front door opens. Ethan turns and runs to Holland, lays on top of him, and says "No ... nu uh."

Ethan knew that it was McKenzie there to pick up Holland. So funny because Ethan wants Holland to be there but doesn't want to play with him. He has learned that at 5 months Holland doesn't play much.

********

Wednesday: Setting - 12:30 Ethan is eating his lunch. Doran stops buy to look at a catalog for golf shirts. Ethan loves to see Doran. He talked to Doran about the truck and the wind. Doran made the wind sound and Ethan crackers up.

Ethan got peaches for lunch and ate the whole can. He looks up at me a says holding his tummy "Ouchie Danyel" Poor kid.

At 12:50 I take him into his room, lay him down, and say goodnight. He looks up at me and says "night night Doran." He says this three times as I turn on his music and close the blinds.

At 3:00 I get him up and this is our conversation

Him: "Doran?"
Me: "Doran went bye bye."
Him"Were Doran?" With his sad face.
Me: "He went to the fish store."
Him: "Indi go fish." His eyes light up with Joy.

(He calls himself Indi and we don't know why.)

Public Enemy Number 1

The smooth creamy texture. The ease to get to. This is one of the worst things in the world. I cant help myself. If I am tired, sad, cleaning it is there for me. You might ask yourself what is this that could be so seductive. Well it use to just come in a tub but a few months ago they bottled it up into an even easier to access compressed can. This diabolical product is non-other than Cool Whip. My weakness and yes it is great on cheesecake.

Pasta with Creamy Pesto Sause

Last Monday I made this recipe. It turned out OK. I think I cooked the white sauce to long because it was a little thick. Doran loved it. It is really simple to make. Don't think I will try this one again.

Dinners

So I have been thinking about how hard it is to eat the same thing week after week. We have been on a food budget of $40 a week. This has been hard and we have pretty much the same meals every week. This summer I want to try a new recipe every week. We do our grocery shopping on Monday because there are just way to many people at Walmart on Saturday. I have scrounged around for some recipes to get me started. This week I wanted to use some of our fresh basil. So I am going to try to make and if I fail and it tastes horrible we will have romen. Will post the recipes and how we liked it as we go along.

My Husband

So here I sit thinking about taking a shower. (I have to go to work today) I look down and there are the mothers Day cards that I asked Doran two days ago to take to the post office to put stamps on. (sorry guys I haven't been feeling well so they are store bought). So now I have to leave earlier so I can take them. He is off golfing with a friend (this is starting to get exspensive). Having a husband is like having a two year old. Well I guess I have to get up and ready to go.

Blocks

Holland just loves Ethan's blocks. So cute.

So on Wednesday I fed Ethan his breakfast which was Cheerios. after I pored the milk in he wanted to take the bowl from the counter to his high chair. I figured that it would be fine and on the off chance that he spilt I was planing on mopping the floor anyways. He did such a good job. No spills. He took a few steps and then took a bite. He is so cute.
