PB Cookies

We made Peanut Butter cookies yesterday. The easy way. 1 cup of PB, 1/2 cup of sugar, one egg

I took some pictures of Tim watching the cookies, until he wanted to use the camera. He went a little snap happy, taking pictures of our cooking adventure.

Meatless Monday Jan 25

We had a huge snowstorm this weekend, reports are that we got 25 inches of snowfall. So I did not have the opportunity to run to the grocery store for this weeks groceries. I am going to be throwing together a stir fry, with the frozen veggies in the freezer, and the bag of brown rice in the cupboard.

And a video of Noah walking.

Silly

Tim has been enamored with all things silly. He loves making silly faces, doing silly things, calling himself, mom, dad, and Noah silly. He especially loves making silly cheese faces for the camera. Guess it will be awhile before we get any handsome boy photos.

My silly little man.

Do You Like My Hat?

I do!What a hat! I like it! I like that party hat!

Meatless Monday Jan 18

Ahh! Sorry I posted so late. We had this today.

And it was very good.

Tim also had his first day of Blastball today. And I would vote to change the name to chaos, cause that's what it was. Little 3 year olds running around, with a coach/instructor trying to get them to pay attention.
Happy Meatless Monday!

Oh What Lovely Weather!

We gobbled up the unseasonably warm weather. We have spent most of our playing time outside, while at least until Tim gets too cold.

Here's Tim and his trucks. Digging up the snow in our backyard.

Noah is officially a walker. He is now walking more than he is crawling.

Meatless Monday Jan 4

Today is the first meatless Monday of 2010. So far, not going so well. I had a plan for dinner, a broccoli, rice bake. But my dear husband decided to ditch on us yesterday, he didn't get home until 4pm. Which meant I had no time to do some serious grocery shopping. So I will be throwing together a stir fry with some veggies in the fridge, and the rice we have in the cupboard.
