week 37 in pictures

sunday: after church and our sunday school meeting, we met up with cole at a nearby park to say hey and see his cyclocross race. we also FINALLY remembered to bring his “christmas present” that we got for him last year… “john wayne toilet paper – it’s rough, it’s tough, and it won’t take crap of of anybody”.

monday: micah, who doesn’t eat tacos (big surprise), had a plate full of uno cards for dinner that night… someday he’ll eat, right?003

tuesday: micah’s first day of pre-k!002  notice that he’s sitting on the “M” on the rug. he is under the impression that all Ms are his. I really hope nobody else in the class has a name that starts with M…003

wednesday: layla had what turned out to be her FINAL physical therapy appointment! she’s graduated! her flexibility and range of motion in BOTH ankles/heel cords is such that she no longer needs to go to PT or wear her orthotics! HOORAY!!!004

thursday: micah had his first ever eye doctor appointment. I’m happy to report that his eyes are just fine. and he loved the stylin’ sunglasses dr. sahota gave him.2012-09-16

    Hi Rachel, first time here visiting from The Mom Creative! That's wonderful news about your daughter Layla, you must be so happy and excited. And that photo and comment about the Uno cards sure made me smile. I feel the same away about our boys sometimes....

    That's so funny about the letters. My eldest is the same with the letter L..or was until he finally gave in and agreed that L was for his brother's name too.

tater tot casserole recipe

i realized i forgot to post this last week when we had it.  i actually like it a little better than the hash brown one, but both are good.  it’s VERY similar. once again, this is something i’ve made so many times that i just kind of wing it now, although i do have the recipe that kate sent to me after she made it for my family when micah was born. i like to keep the recipe because it has some little ‘britishisms’ throughout, just like kate! ;-) who, by the way, rocks, having called to check up on me the other evening when she saw that the power in our area was out AGAIN!  thanks kate, smooch smooch! but now i’m getting distracted… big surprise. here goes. you will need: 1 lb or so ground beef (or ground turkey) 1 chopped onion a bunch of veggies (kate’s recipe calls for a ‘tin’ of mixed veggies, but i use fresh carrots & celery if i’ve got’em, frozen beans, peas, corn, whatever).  maybe 2-3 cups. 1 can (or tin) of cream of something soup (i use celery usually

the swimsuit rant

i’ll forewarn you that most averaged-sized women will probably not appreciate this post very much. i understand. i’ve been (either directly or indirectly) the object of various hatred more than once. i am not an average-sized woman. i’m only 5’1” on a good day, and i’ve never donated blood because most of the time (when not pregnant – and therefore not allowed), i don’t weigh enough to do so. i do not ‘diet’, so to speak, nor do i work out compulsively. i try to eat healthy food, for the most part, and i try not to sit on my butt all day. this is just the way i am. our current culture views me as ‘lucky’ to have this body type. whatever. a couple hundred years ago, people would have considered me ‘unhealthy’. i am what i am. i am small woman. as the Lord has seen fit, i am a small woman who has given birth to 3 children. as i see fit, i am a small woman who wishes to exercise a bit of modesty, even when swimming. unfortunately, the swimwear industry, seems to think that the only

“you should have your head examined!”

… i just did! yup, yesterday i had the thrilling experience of sitting in a hospital waiting room for 2 hours, followed by another in a trauma room.  no, i don’t think i had suffered any sort of major trauma – i think that’s just what room they had left to stick me in.  i mused about where we would go if they had to kick us out because a ‘real’ trauma situation arose.  thankfully, we didn’t have to learn the answer to that.  i guess i was a traumatic as it got during that window of time. backing up, i wound up in the hospital yesterday because micah threw some clothes on the ground.  the night before i had been folding laundry in the living room.  i had a couple of stacks of ‘hang up’ clothes that were draped over the baby gate in front of the fireplace.                         yes, it’s a christmas picture, but i knew i had it in my stash.  at any rate, there’s the ugly baby gate that the clothes were hanging on.  also notice the wood mantle above it that the nativity set is on.

has anybody seen my blogger mojo?

i think someone must have stolen it.  seriously! i’ve had NOTHING to say for a week now.  me! nothing to say! i didn’t even know that was possible. i have a few things on the back burners, but nothing really to post because it would require uploading pictures off my camera and for some reason, i can’t find the motivation to do it.  sure, i’ll dig all the grass and weeds out of the garden, but plugging a camera into the computer is just too much work.  geez.  well, at least my priorities are straight. for once in my life…
