Good Weekend

On Saturday we all went out to lunch. Allison was such a big girl. She got to sit in a booster seat next to mom and got her own food this time. It was so cute, she even tried to color on the kids menu they gave her. And she drank her milk without a fuss.
On Sunday we had a family get together. Grandma Carol is visiting from Alaska so she came over for dinner and I cooked corned beef and cabbage. I have never seen Allison so interested in eating dinner. She was showing off her mad fork skills and drinking her milk again (from her cup). I couldn't beleive it, she ate almost all of the potatoes and corned beef and carrots.
Then last night I had dinner success again, she ate it all. We had chicken, pork and beans and coleslaw. She ate everything but the slaw. I am so proud of her and her eating is improving. Now if I can figure out some better snacks I think I will have a really great eater on my hands.

I have been busy lately, trying to get my other blog up and running.
Here are some rambling thoughts I just decided to type for filler so you all can see whats going through my head...
Play group has been cancelled yet again due to illness (it seems like these kids are always sick), I need to get to the store for some hot chocolate mix because I need some rich chocolate goodness, I am going to bake some brownies today and eat one.
It felt good to write that down, now I can see what I need to get done and what is not important.

Anyway, I have been slacking on my picture taking so I will leave you with this.

This is what my kid does when watching The Wiggles...she doesn't wiggle

she did end up dancing for about 5 seconds then grabbed her sippy cup and plopped back down to watch some more.

Don't Drink Your Juice

After yesterdays post I discovered this.

Then while I was doing dishes she decided to so this...

She didn't want to drink her juice.

Have a great weekend!!

Writers Block

I have writers block. I can't think of anything exciting that has gone on this week. Instead I will make a list (because I like my lists)

things Allison is climbing on
1.the couch
2.the chair in her room
3.the box that I use as a table
4.the coffee table (almost)
5.her walker that has wheels so it rolls away from her when she tries

things Allison is eating
1.ham & cheese quesadilla
2.leaves & dirt from the garden
3.green tomatoes she picks herself
4.2 pounds of grapes (she ate them by herself in less than a week)
5.the hairball I was meaning to vacuum up (guess I don't have to now)

Allison's different tantrum styles that make us laugh
1.head flings back, arms flail
2.forehead on ground, scoots around
3.goes limp in arms and tries to drop to ground
4.fake cry and turns to parent that didn't scold her
5.stomps feet and flails arms like she's pissed

A few things she learned this weekend

Whiskey bottles are heavy

Hungry butts eat onsies

Wheelbarrow rides are fun

falling in to the pool is even funner

ending up with no clothes on is priceless

Twins

I pick out all the clothes for Scott & Allison to wear. So this weekend I decided to dress them in similar outfits.

My twins


I can never get Allison to sit still or pose cute for me. This is the best I could do, they are both wearing red t-shirts and khaki short, white shoes. SO CUTE.

We skipped play group, again, I feel a little guilty but daddy came home early this morning so stayed home to spend time with him. Right now we are just hanging out and enjoying the wonderful weather and playing video games. Later we are going to Home Depot ot Lowes to get some stuff. I am going to look at flowers and plants because I have big plans for the back yard and garden area for next summer so the planning has begun.

I hope all of you have a wonderful day & had a great 3 day weekend, I sure did.

Used Meat on Buns

I rented a cooking DVD from Netflix. It was Robin Miller's something or other, Quick Fixes or something like that. Anyway, I watched it with Scott because our instant Netflix took a poop and we couldn't get back online.
So we sat down to watch it and it was...boring and uninspiring and she "kinda looks like a zombie with makeup" he said. The food was normal food though. Leftover meat (used meat as Scott called it this morning) put on buns with cheese and broiled. Original, anyone who had ever been hungry and lazy has thrown a sandwich together like this, you don't need a cook on tv to show you how.

The greatest thing Scott told me though was and I quote "you should have a cooking show".
I know I cook and bake really well, but to say I can make better food than someone on the television, wow.
Now if it was a tv producer telling me that, I would be like "WOW, how much too cook used meat on buns with cheese."

Three day weekend starts this afternoon when Scott gets home. I am excited to have some time off from laundry and housework, but I am going to cook alot. Some gooey lasagna, grilling some burgers and serving it up with waffle fries and pasta salad, maybe some used meat on buns for something different.

Changes Again

Ok, well I am sorry for all the stuff that I have been doing to my blog, moving from one place to another but, I have decided to stick with blogger because I can upload movies and stuff, and it is much easier than wordpress.
My other blog though, Heed Eats will stay at wordpress.

So sorry again for all the confusion but I have alot of movies that I want to post eventually and who cares if my blog looks professional or not...it's a blog...not a TCS report, hehehe.

Anyway, back to normal around here. A three day weekend is coming up and we are bbqing and hanging out around the house doing housey things.

Last Sunday Allison had her first doughnut. DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL...well she liked the custard filling, bu that's it. We didn't like it either. I ate half of mine and let out a big sigh...it was too much, I just can't see how people can eat doughnuts and soda for breakfast - totally gross, makes me ill just thinking of all the sugar, blah!

The Future on Suzie Homemaker

I have been working on my new site. I have moved everything over to Wordpress...well mostly everything, I can't get the movies transfered over yet so I am working on that. But I will be updating my blog over there from now on check it out, it has alot more custom stuff...more Allison.
