week 3 in pictures

sunday: layla’s dog, sporting the ‘florida retiree’ look.003

monday: on mornings when I have to take shane to school (non- jazz band mornings), my dad walks down the road to hang out at our house, so I don’t have to wake up layla and micah at the crack of dawn and throw them in the car, just to ride along to take shane to school. (this is TOTALLY awesome, btw.) when I got back, I found grandpa VERY popular! the only one missing is layla, because she was still asleep.009

wednesday: micah and a couple of preschool friends, playing in the leftover snow at recess. it was a week old at that point, and it’s STILL on the ground now! brrrr…016

thursday: this was taken at 8:35am. preschool starts at 9:00am… needless to say, we were a little bit late.025

friday: micah loves games. he just doesn’t ‘play’ them in the traditional way. here, he is using the bugs from his bug/jenga stacking game and turning them into ‘fish’ by stuffing them into his socks. once turned into ‘fish’, they jump into the ‘pond’ (my boot). I never claimed he was normal.002

saturday: our final christmas celebration! getting together with auntie marge. she brought the kids smiley face cookies from the poulsbo bakery. (YAY!)022

and, of course, the gifts!2013-01-21

and this is just a random instagram I’ll stick in somewhere… ginger is completely convinced that I threw my comforter on the ground for her benefit and won’t be convinced otherwise.013

meal plan monday

lent starts this week, so we’ll be having dinner at church before the services every wednesday night! I love it because I don’t have to cook, and it’s fun to see friends over dinner as well… of course I have to negotiate bites w/ layla (who generally doesn’t like soup, which is generally what they serve), and I get to put a bowl of soup in front of micah so he can look at it, refuse to eat it, and eventually eat it myself… oh well, such is life. monday: soup and grilled cheese sandwiches; fruit cocktail tuesday: chicken and rice casserole (we never had it last week); peaches wednesday: soup supper at church thursday: tater tot casserole friday: pizza; green beans saturday: hamburgers; oven fries; carrot sticks sunday: waffles ; bacon DOH! just realized I forgot to buy the buttermilk for the waffles. oh well, I’m sure there’s something else I’ve forgotten as well.

bacon-potato chowder recipe

dave found this recipe at some point when we were living in ohio. he apparently had a hankering for some chowder of some kind. so I have no idea where the credit goes in this case. but we’ve been making it ever since, so it was definitely a winner! 1 lb. bacon cut in small pieces 1 cup chopped onions 4 cups diced potatoes 2 cups water 1 tsp salt (and some pepper) 2 cans cream of something soup (chicken or celery) 2 cups sour cream 3 cups milk **edited to add: apparently, dave says he adds a clove or two of garlic as well. chop them up with them up and add them with the onions.** in a big pot, cook bacon over medium heat. add onion and cook until tender. drain off grease. add water, potatoes, salt and pepper. cook 15 minutes. stir in soup, sour cream, and milk. cook until heated through. easy, but best to do all you’re chopping, dicing, and measuring ahead of time. if you like it thick, simmer a little longer… don’t make this if you are dairy intolerant or on a diet! lol. a...

what word means the opposite of logic?

... oh yeah.  LAYLA! 3 year olds astound me on a regular basis, especially this one.  when leaving the NKCC this noonish, it had started raining which spawned layla's very favorite thing in the whole world: puddles!  so, while i was putting micah in the car, she stomped in them and got the bottom of her pants all wet.  as we were driving home (by way of the post office, but that's a whole different adventure) i heard this slurpy, sucky sound and i looked behind me to see layla SUCKING on her wet pant legs.  EEEWWW!!! what on earth would possess a person to do this?  can we say motor oil?  antifreeze?  bird poo?  dirt?  i hope she survives.  ::shudder::

growing!

just a little update: so I posted at the end of january about my “ 33 pound waif ” and her new tiny person accommodating car seat. well, I picked her up one day last week and thought she felt REALLY heavy. so I thought I’d put her on the scale, just for curiosity’s sake… 38.2 pounds. yes, that’s right, she’s gained 5 pounds in less than 2 months. crazy! dave, of course, suggested that in not very long, we’d be able to SELL the carseat while it’s still in really good shape and get some good money for it. I gave him a dirty look.

project life–week 12

eek! another week, flown past! shane was mysteriously absent from this week’s POTDs. he makes an appearance in the collage of ‘extra’ pictures, though. I must try to hunt him down so he can get in the book a few times, at least! first part of the week: layla completed her first scrapbook album of her very own this week and was very proud of it. it was a lot of fun to help her with it too. the sheet of this week’s extra pictures: only one side this week. some layla artwork: some more layla artwork, the ‘sheep’ card she made in sunday school, and an assignment she brought home from school: and the latter half of the week: we have a couple ‘dog’ appearances, as usual. wednesday, she made them tails. saturday, she turned plastic plates into frisbees and they ‘fought’ over it. kind of wondering how long this phase is going to last! and that’s week 12. I’m starting to rethink the adding of too many pieces of art and such… I can see that it’s going to get really full really fast… hm...
