Tuesday November 16 2006 - I WISH

I have added a new oven to my wish list. Last night I was up late making the cookies for the exchange I'm in. I was coveting people who have convection ovens and can bake larger quantities at one time. I really need to pay closer attention when I sign up for things. I really just thought it was a get together, bring your favorite treats and then we'd leave with a plate of other peoples favorite cookies. Even after the phone call telling me to make 10 dozen cookies, it still didn't click. Suddenly, I thought about what 10 dozen cookies would be and realized that I don't even WANT 10 dozen cookies and have no where to store that much without a freezer still (except I guess my tummy over time!).
It's the same way with shopping, I just buy what I'm looking for only to get home and discover that I actually bought "low fat sour cream" (or salad dressings) instead of the regular. I've made this mistake far more than I would like to admit. You'd think after doing it so often I'd be more alert and read the labels but no. Just in a rush, and think I know what I'm doing. On the bright side, after buying so many "low fat" condiments, I have allowed for the extra callories of eating 10 dozen cookies!!!! Not much else is new... oh, except that Brooklyn has a new obsession lately, and it's my eye lashes. She's obsessed with them. She'll sit there and try to grab them (usually poking me directly in my eye).

Wednesday July 20th 2008 - One month Down.... only one more to go...

Image
It's sad that summer is already half over. We've been much busier than I had thought we'd be. Here are some photos...totally out of order but they still sum up the last month. Took this shot of Kendall and Dane before church one morning....just cause they looked so spiffy! Love Dane's little tie. Kendall insisted on taking one of us (since my children rarely have photos of me WITH them). I'm the photo crazy one in my family so I'm always behind the lens! I love this though cause it's my favorite thing Dane does. When he gets a little shy or just wants to cuddle, he'll lay right down against my neck and hide his little head under mine! I hope he'll always be a cuddly boy!! (until he hits the teenage years of course!! Then I hope he hates to cuddle!). This is Brooklyn with her "treasure box" from uncle Lorin. She's made it her own and lately carries it around like it's the most precious thing ever. She carried it around all day lik...

Monday April 21 2008 - HERE'S HOW WE SPEND OUR SPRING

Image
Odd isn't it...that April is almost over and we still have this cold white stuff!!! Our girls don't seem to mind however! We've got drifts in the backyard as tall as Brookie!! I suppose I shouldn't mind either cause the longer I don't have to see how yucky my flower beds are looking...the better I'll feel!!! And Dane was in charge of treat tonight so Mya asked if she could decide what to make cause she wanted Rice Krispie Squares. We decided to have fun building a little track with cars! I LOVE that I actually had all the ingredients in the house to make it. That's a first! It's not my idea, I've seen it before....just now we have a little boy who can appreciate it. Too bad he's not going to get to taste it. This is definately something I can see us making when he gets older!!

Tuesday March 18 2008 - AVA'S PLAY AND OTHER FUN...

Image
We've had a busy...yet fun week this past week. Ava performed in the Ei-Ei-Ooops play here this past weekend (and also Monday morning for the school kids). It was a sweet little story of some pretty cute little animals on Old Mac's Farm. She was casted as "Piggly". I find it especially fitting that she was a pig in this play because when she was little she had an OBSESSION with pigs. She had a little collection and names for each one. I had to look back in her journal to remember some of their names. These names consisted of "pigger", "piggy little", "pinky", "curly", "oinker", "spotty pig", and the water bottle pig on her lap in this picture was named "piggy friend" and of course what collection of pigs wouldn't be complete without a "wilbur". There were more but you get the point!!! Anyway, so here's what her collection looked like. When she was 18 months and entered nursery, she...
