Day 59 {Fat lip}

Yesterday when Bill got home from work I went to the grocery store...not exactly something I do not enjoy doing on a Saturday since its always crazy busy but needed done.    I walked in the door hands full of grocery bags just as Dylan was headed upstairs. 

Bill had sent him to his room for something and he was throwing a fit while climbing the stairs.  As I walked in he turned to look at me and slipped.  He didn't fall but ended up putting his tooth into his lip.  The poor kid was screaming about being sent to his room and then suddenly he has blood pouring from his mouth!    

Here are the many faces of Dylan today after it had healed a bit.  

 

The fun just never stops around here.....

Day 58 {My little Olympian}

Xander has been fascinated by the Olympic games for the past 2 weeks.  Between watching it every chance he gets he also likes to pretend play with Dylan that he is an Olympic athlete.    The over heard conversation today was between Xander and Dylan

Xander:  Lets play superhero Dylan.  I will be the good guy and you can be the bad guy

Dylan :  Who do I get to be?

Xander:  You can be the USA and I will be Canada.  I'm the good guy because Canada has more gold medals than you do.

I think he may be watching TOO much TV!    After that he decided he was going to be a bobsleigher.  He pulled out a bunch of stuffed toys put any helmet he could find on them and lined them up on the couch.  He had a four man team and he used the arm of the couch to  'push start'  

Day 57 {Weather}

Not much happening today...I took one of the pictures for my photography class.  I had to use elements around to show what the weather was like.  How many ways are there to say COLD!

Day 56 {Hockey night in Canada}

Well not really.

Olympic Women's Hockey Gold Medal game though.

Here are my boys cuddled up to watch the game.  Xander finally settled after running around the house with his hockey PJ's and Olympic scarf yelling "GO CANADA GO" 

He had school the next morning so at the end of the second we told him the game was over......lucky for us the score never did change!

Day 55 {Cinnamon Rolls}

Oooey Gooey and made with my own two hands!  Yesterday I made Pioneer Women's Cinnamon Rolls.  I have never actually made anything with yeast before so this a first but  oh my was it worth it!    I ended up making them last night and tonight since the recipe makes SO much ( 8 pans worth)  but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. 

I started out with a whole lot of dough....

Then rolled them in to this.....

Then baked them and covered them in ooey gooey maple icing.  The recipe called for coffee so of course I had to use the only good coffee around.....

 

and then they looked like this.....

In other news I think I may or may not have gained 5 pounds this week with all my cooking!  Dinner tonight was PW Marinated Flank Steak, Perfect potatoes Au Gratin, and Roasted Asparagus with Hollandaise sauce

The whole dinner was awesome but the potatoes took the cake!  Absolutely amazing....maybe it was because they have garlic in them.

Thanks for looking :)

Day 54 {Trains & toilets don't mix}

For almost a month now my toilet has not been flushing very well.  Bill has attempted to fix it a few times with a snake with no luck.  Today he took the toilet right off and tried again.    Here is what he found......

 

In case your wondering this a piece of train from the kids Geo Trax.

This does not fit down the toilet.  Apparently Ty thought it should. 

Good news is the toilet now flushes fine :)

Day 53 {Salsa baby!}

Today I made SALSA!!! 

No not the stuff from the jar but from actual tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno peppers and all the good stuff that goes in salsa.

I LOVE garlic...so much so that I took a picture of it :)

 

And when I was done it all turned into this....

 

Then Ty got into it....not too much left after all the boys were done.  MMMMM

Another great PW recipe....I will never again buy salsa in a jar.   You can find the recipe HERE

Thanks for looking :)
