pictures and stories

I owe everyone some pictures after almost a whole month without them. I have some fun stories that go along with them... we will see how far I can get today...with the crazy kiddos that I have.

So first of all the other day E got out a banana a butter knife and a cutting board. I'm sure you can add it up, when I asked him what he was doing he said "I'm being a chef" Well he ended up making Banana Pie. Here is his recipe as far as I can remember (I wrote down the exact recipe, but the notebook it was in has disappeared, so here is my best remembrance)
One banana cut up
add 1 tsp water, stir
add 1 ice cube, stir
add juice of half of a lemon, stir
add 1tsp salt, stir (yes there was lots of stirring going on)
add 3 squirts of whipped topping (we had some in a can), stir
add 1 tsp powder sugar, mash bananas
add 2tsp brown sugar, stir
chill for 10 min
get out of the fridge add 3 mounds of butter (I liked that measurement!), stir
chill for 2 more minutes
add the juice from the other half of the lemon, stir
pour into a pie tin and bake for 16 min in a "hot" oven
(it really baked for like 35, cause we kept taking it out and he said it wasn't done yet)
Then chill over night
add some wiped topping on top

Here is what the finished pie looked like, and the proud boy of his first ever recipe.


Here is his reaction when he tasted it...LOL


We were all brave and tasted it, since everything he added was "edible" but to say the least it wasn't very appetizing!

Finally

I got to see baby S roll over for the first time yesterday, and she did it from her back to stomach then stomach to back to get a toy (can you say trouble!) Anyway it was fun for me to see her make this milestone. She did it several more times today... she gets off her stomach as fast as she can, she really hates being on her tummy right now!

she did it AGAIN!

My sister Jenni and my little brother Jon were here this afternoon to play with the kids. I had to leave to take care of A for a minute and while I was gone she roller from her tummy to her back with ease. It's no fair! oh well maybe one day :{

my little stinker

My beautiful baby girl has been very close to rolling over for some time now (she just can't get over that arm). We have been cheering her on and watching her very closely making sure that we do not miss this very important moment. Well we did...I was sitting on the floor with her just talking while my boys took a bath. I needed to go check on them so I left her laying on her back in the middle of the room and when I came back she was on her tummy eating her blanket like a puppy. I can't believe she did it in the only moment she has been left alone on the floor ever. Hopefully we will have a repeat show later tonight for all of us to see. We love you baby S.

my boy and his ring

A good friends little boy is in love with his CTR (choose the right) ring. She blogged about an inspiring event that happened to them with a their boy and his ring. Keeping that in mind here is what happened with my boy (A) and his ring.
My boys came down with strep so they had very little energy and wanted to eat very little for a few days. Then came yesterday. I don't think I have EVER seen them this hyper! They woke up being crazy they wanted to eat way more and they were so so so loud (a good sign that they no longer had a sore throat). When nap time came around (yes they both take naps still... they need them) they were still very hyper, but grouchy from also being worn out. I was reading for an extra long time trying to help them calm down when all of the sudden A started to throw up everywhere. He had been throwing up with his fever but that was long gone, so I was very confused until I looked at the puddle he had just made on his sheets and there was his CTR ring in the middle of the mess. Yes my child almost swallowed his pointy, sharp ring. Luckily he didn't get it down his throat too far... it would have really hurt coming up and I'm so glad he didn't swallow it cause those would have been funny but expensive X-rays...
So after a month of having a practical joke up as my last post this is what it took for me to get back to my blog and post again... shame on me.
PS after we got him cleaned up they both went right down for there nap :)
