My little Chef

Lastnight Melody and I made pizza with Bountiful Beer Bread as the crust. We picked fresh herbs from our garden and used tomatos, peppers and onions and of course plenty of cheese. Melody wanted hers with no sauce but only cheese...which she ate plenty of..so I am happy about that. She has been not eating much of anything for a long time now and it has had me worried! Zachary, Peter and I all had everything on ours. Kylie even ate a little bit too! Boy was it yummy! We made personal pizzas for the kids and Peter and I shared a large one. Isn't she cute in her apron? She had a great time...as if you can't see that on her face! Next we will be making butterfly shaped sugar cookies! YUM!

Cup-A-Cake

While shopping at the mall awhile back we found these really cool cupcake carriers in the Williams-Sonoma Store! For a set of three it is only $10.50. My husband has always said..don't bother making cupcakes for me to bring to work because they get all smushed. Well now they make it there perfectly and in one piece. They can even be turned upside down and the cupcake or muffin stay in place! YAY! Finially! You can find them online at Williams-Sonoma.

They come in clear or blue. Aren't they cute!? I made normal sized cupcakes the other day and they fit with plenty of room for even the jumbo size cupcakes and frosting..or a large muffin!
So if you happen to know someone who likes muffins or cupcakes but has a hard time taking them out and about with them...this makes a great gift too!

Oh how sweet....

So my little one has been fighting a stuffy, runny nose lately. She is teething right now...two teeth at once and I think that is the main problem....so she has been hardly nursing anymore because she can't breathe through her nose. Well today after she tried to nurse a few times with not much happening..because I had to keep stopping to wipe her nose...I decided to put her in the high chair with a snack. Some Nilla Wafers. Well she ate and ate and ate..and finially crashed. Notice ..the cookies are still in her hands!

Saturday, June 9, 2007

On Saturday I will be a vendor at the Kids Festival on the East End Green...if you know me you know where I mean! Take a trip down to visit. I will be selling Stuff-n-Snuggle and Tastefully Simple products and hopefully scheduling some parties! I know you all want to have one! You can do a book party or an actual party where I come to your house! Why not? It is food and kids stuff after all...who doesn't love that? For those of you who have ordered I want to thank you all for your support. The money I earn with these ventures is going to help me pay for any extra homeschooling supplies I may need and any extra field trips..which with three kids can be very expensive! Thank you!

Magic Wings

Sunday we went on a little trip to Magic Wings in MA. Boy was it fun! The weather was kind of icky....rainy and colder than it has been..but overall we had a great time. We have now seen a billion butterflies in one day! The kids loved it as did Peter and I. Melody got her face painted and picked out a pretty yellow butterfly..then she rubbed it in like any 2 year old would do. OH well, it happens! We looked at birds, butterflies, lizards, fish and bugs. Yes they have bugs there too! The gift shop has some great stuff to even have your own catipillar grow into a butterfly for you to keep as a pet or to release..which you can also bring back there to release! We will be having some butterflies of our own soon enough...but not quite yet. Maybe in another month once school is out and we can concentrate on how they are doing. Enjoy the pictures below!

By the way...Monday was Zachary's 11th Birthday. This is why we went on the trip to Magic Wings on Sunday as a family. He loves nature and conservation..so it was the best place to go for such a smart kid.

My header is also a photo from our trip to Magic Wings. I just LOVE butterflies!

Melodyisms

Melody loves to cuddle with her Daddy and lately she has been cuddling with him when he has no shirt on because her room is hottler than H-E double hockey sticks at night. (He is the one who tucks her in and usually lays down adn sings her a couple nursery rhymes before bed.) So over the past few nights this is what Melody has had to say:

Daddy, I love your hair! (On his head..short and fuzzy)

Daddy, I love your beard. (Short and fuzzy again)

Daddy, I love the hair on your boobies!

(You can figure that one out on your own)

Now you can laugh so hard you are crying and fall on the floor. I know I did when I was told what Melody said. Boy is she a silly little girl.

Happy Anniversary!

So four years ago today I was getting ready for my wedding. It was beautiful...didn't even rain till the reception was almost over! :) We were both nervous...and Peter hardly smiled because of this..but in the end he smiled in many of the photos just so I can enjoy them for the rest of our lives. You see..he likes to smirk..and say it is a smile. I need to see teeth to see a smile. So being the great man he is he smiled and showed his teeth in many of the photos for our album. The day went by so quickly I am so glad we have so many photos to remember the day with..because I really don't remember much of it. It just was like a blink of an eye and it was over...it just doesn't seem real! So we are still alive and in love and have two beautiful daughters together since that beautiful day. Zachary was adopted by Peter in August 2004. So we are just one big happy family.

Visit YouTube and listen to one of my favorite songs from that day:

Below are a few of the photos from that blissful day.

I love you hunny!

Blowing Bubbles

So what 2 ..almost 3 year old doesn't love blowing bubbles? Melody is no exception. I love watching her try to blow them. What a cute little face she makes! (See the 5th photo below) She had so much fun..it was very hard to get her to come inside to take her nap that afternoon. :)

Kylie's first taste of pasta!

So on May 14th, 2007 Kylie had her very first taste of pasta. I made Ree's Chicken and Spaghetti for dinner and picked out the chicken and gave her the pasta. Boy did she LOVE IT! She gobbled down almost every single bite!
