Elyse isn't home

Andrew's mum took her, at 11.. to go visit the ladies at work. And doesn't have her back yet because she's having a nap..

I only sent one bottle and fed her just as she was leaving so she can't be gone too long!!

What's July 23rd?

Hannah's 1st b-day??

 

[Vickie]

yep my little girl turns one

guess I should have quoted Ryder's question

 

[babymama]

This is the 3rd of 4th time I noticed that if the weather is crappy, Phoenix is a lot crankier. He's ok now. I just put him in his bouncer and he's got toys dangling down but I put a new one on and he's hitting/graabbing it with his hand. I don't think it's intentional yet but I think he's slowly figuring it out that he can grab/hit things.

awww, that is exciting vickie! I thought she was only 3 months older then Jasmine!

 

[Vickie]

exciting and scary all wrapped up into one

 

[Alexas Mommy]

I used to play soccer from age 15-17-I played indoor winter soccer too I can't wait for Alexa to play soccer

Kat -- Elyse is always crabby when the weather is bad I notice too. I'm sure it's not a coincidence, she must be able to feel the cool, damp air and must not like it!

Must be, weird how that is. He's completely different when it's nice and sunny out. Speaking of which, next week is suppose to be beautiful! YAY! We need summer to start, enough of the cold and wet!

 

[Vickie]

agreed! The weather has been so yucky lately

 

[Tiff]

All I kept thinking about last summer is how awesome it would be to be off for the summer, and having Claire to enjoy. I've got Claire, some nice weather would be nice!

You know what movie I've been really wanting to see lately? "Look Who's Talking"

 

[tasha41]

I love that movie!!

 

[tasha41]

I was just on AF and I think I'm going to have her back to visit soon FML

I feel soooo sick!!

 

[Stiina]

yum those muffins sound good! you should post the recipe

Here you go Wendino!! I actually didn't get to eat any, so I can't attest to the taste, but they all disappeared quickly so I'm assuming they passed!

3/4 c rolled oats
1/2 c uncooked Red River Cereal (I didn't know what this was, but I used a 7-grain cereal that I make so I think it's kinda the same thing!)
1 c buttermilk (I just made sour milk instead - add 1 T vinegar and sit for 5-7 mins, until chunky!)
1 c flour
3/4 c brown sugar
1 t baking powder
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/3 c melted margarine (I used oil instead cause I was feeling slightly lazy!)
1 egg
1 c fresh or frozen cranberries (I used frozen ones that I had from Christmas, yikes!)

Combine oats, cereal and buttermilk. Let stand 40 minutes. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add egg and margarine to cereal mixture, Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Stir in cranberries. Makes 12 big muffins.
375 F for 25 minutes.

If you're not a cranberry fan I'm sure any old berry would do!



Hope everyone is having a good day today! We finally got our blessed rain - only 2/10" but we need every drop.
I sucked out of work this morning because I was sick last night - thank goodness I kept an icecream pail beside the bed...ewwwwww!!

So now I'm baking some cookies now - we turned our furnace off and I'm too cheap to turn it back on, but it's only 15 degrees in here and I'm FREEZING!

I thought Red River cereal was like cream of wheat...but that would be weird in a muffin wouldn't it? I have some...

Thanks! Oh and I looove cranberries! When it isn't so hot here, I am gonna have to make these

 

[babymama]

I have 38.5 pampers points! woohoo! Only 50 million to go before I can get the bead maze

 

[pinkmac85]

Its soooooooooooooo cold here today!! Really rainy and damp..I'm to cheap to turn the heat on to Stiina so I put a fire on instead! Brrr!

 

[Stiina]

Oh Em I am jealous! We have a wood burning stove, but it is just sitting in our living room. It's not hooked up yet! Kalevi's goal is to get it installed by September! I'm going to go CRAZY until then, because I know on those chilly summer nights it would really be nice to have a fire!

Do you have a fireplace or a stove?

That's what I want! They will probably cancel the program before we get it
