Past experiences with these go like this: Jillian is so excited she annoys Kaleigha into heading back into her room a couple of hours later.<br />
<br />
Tonight:<br />
Quiet for awhile, then we hear Jillian jumping around and she comes out, but we don't see Kaleigha... until Jillian (for some odd reason) pulled Kaleigha's hair. I go to talk to Jillian about this a few minutes later (after Kaleigha has headed back to her bedroom). Here's our conversation:<br />
<br />
Me: Why are you crying?<br />
J: Because my sister left my sleepver party.<br />
Me: Well, it's because you pulled her hair.<br />
J: But, I care about Kaleigha.<br />
Me: Well, why did you pull her hair?<br />
J: {sobbing} I don't know.<br />
<br />
As, I'm leaving I tell her to calm down and stop crying.<br />
J says, "I can't. All I can think about is Kaleigha." <br />
<br />
Andddddd.... she's still wailing up there.christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-38016051293323907582013-12-26T12:42:00.001-05:002013-12-26T12:46:29.881-05:00Kaleigha Turns 7!<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Today I had a birthday pancake. Daddy li<span style="font-size: small;">ghted it. Oh, I want you to write Dad. I had an American Girl Do<span style="font-size: small;">ll Tea <span style="font-size: small;">Party. Everybody brought their dolls. I brought Kit. Grandma came over after the party. We have a special tent that everybody had over their heads. Everybody got their <span style="font-size: small;">own food (was that spe<span style="font-size: small;">cial to get your own food?) yeah. I wore the dress that Grandma made me<span style="font-size: small;"> and Kit. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

I had a hard time with that one, as we plan on him being our last. It's just so weird to think that we are moving out of the baby stage :( We love our little Drew so much. When he turned a year, he wasn't walking like his big sister Jillian was at a year. In fact, he is now 14 months old and he still isn't walking!<br />
<br />
He says some words: more, hi, bye, thankyou (one word and hard to understand), mama, hida (hi Dad), Max, Snowball (the babysitter's dogs), Kaleigha (which he shouts and it sounds like k-yeah), Jill-Jill.<br />
<br />
He still doesn't have much hair. But, he has this soft little fuzz on his head.<br />
<br />
He is so sweet and he loves to snuggle with us. He is so very affectionate.<br />
<br />
Drew loves ice cream and doesn't like drinking his milk cold (kind of a contradiction there... ha ha!)<br />
<br />
His eyes are still a really dark color and when ever we are out, people always comment on how cute he is. He has a super sweet dimple in his cheek that hasn't gone away.<br />
<br />
For his birthday, we did a Vintage Circus Theme <br />

<br />
Great Sunday afternoon recipe, especially on a nice fall day like today.<br />
<br />
Recipe:<br />
1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup<br />
3 cups of water<br />
1 cup of shredded cooked chicken<br />
1 carrot diced<br />
1 stalk of celery diced<br />
1 cube of chicken bouillon<br />
dash of Lawry's Seasoning<br />
dash of salt<br />
dash of pepper <br />
1/2 of <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/egg-noodles/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=egg%20noodles&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page">Homemade Egg Noodles </a><br />
<br />
Combine everything but the noodles. Cook for 30 minutes until cooked down. Add noodles and cook for 6 minutes (homemade noodles cook fairly quickly).<br />
<br />
Yum! We all loved it and since I modified the recipe, I wanted to be able to save it :) <br />

But, of course I got a low grade fever last night, so I didn't feel like doing something like that this afternoon. We still ate cracker jacks, hot dogs and peanuts for lunch and the kids were all decked out in their Reds wear.<br />

As a teacher, I discourage little boys from playing "war" on the playground. I actually hadn't thought about what I would allow my son to do when he gets older regarding guns etc. One poster shared how she had envisioned raising her son to be peaceful with no toys guns. She stated that he would turn his french fries into guns and legos into swords. With a five year old daughter and (almost) three year old daughter they don't pretend to shoot, nor do I think they would even be interested in playing a war game. Lest you think they are all about tea parties and pink boas - my Jillian is quite the climber, LOVES to wrestle and makes a good little car sound. <br />
<br />
This made me start thinking about all the other things that I would get to experience as a mother of a son. When he gets married, I will get to have that mother/son dance. His sweet dark blue eyes will turn from me being the most important woman to his bride. (Made me say a short prayer that his future wife will be a blessing and love the Lord!)<br />
<br />
It makes me wonder what my boy will be like when he goes through that awkward stage in junior high. Will he still want to be around his mother or will he just want to hang out with dad? <br />
<br />
I also pictured a cute little six year old boy holding a too big bat stepping up to try to knock the ball off the T-ball stand. Will he wear a blue hat? or green? red? gray? <br />
<br />
Drew was dedicated this past week at church and we had to claim a life verse for him. Josh and I chose 1 Chronicles 16:10-11... "Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always."<br />
<br />
Yes, little boy, seek His face always. Get your strength from the Lord. Glory in Him. Grow up to be a lover of the Lord so you can also lead your family with truth, faithfulness and compassion as your father does. <br />
<br />
I love you, Drew. <br />

<ul tabindex="-1"><li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">1/4 cup butter</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient"> 1/4 cup shortening</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient"> 2 cups confectioners' sugar</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">2 tablespoons milk</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient"> 1 teaspoon vanilla extract</li>
</ul>Mix the butter and shortening together. After it is whipped together, add the sugar until it is completely mixed. Add in the milk and vanilla and whip until it fluffy (about 3 minutes). <br />
<br />
This is for 36 cupcakes to be filled. I only wanted to fill 7 cupcakes... so I made frosting with the rest. I used about 1/4 of the mixture to fill the cupcakes. I added approximately 1/4 cup of cocoa to the remaining filling to make an awesome frosting. I put the lot of it into my kitchen aid mixer bowl and let the wire whisk whip it for about 3 minutes. <br />

Jillian said, "Don't eat me, I am not your lunch."<br />
<br />
About a week ago, she was whining (shocking that a 2 yo would whine!) Josh started talking in a whiny voice back to her and she pointed her finger at him and said, "you no whine like me!"<br />
<br />
I was getting her up from her nap with her little pony tail all cute and I said, "You're my little ice cream Sundae." She said, "No, I'm not your ice cream Sundae. I'm... I'm... I'm your little cupcake with sprinkles on top." Oh my word - Love Her!!<br />
<br />
Josh opened up a bottle of his favorite wing sauce and said, "yum." Jillian yelled out: "Drink it Daddy!" Wouldn't that be interesting! <br />
<br />
As, I am typing this she is repeating in a very calm voice, "that's enough, Mommy." Sighing in between sentences.<br />

Not the best gig for losing this baby weight ;) I sold some of the cupcakes to the coffee shop that I sell my scones to. After I dropped off the cupcakes, I tried a few more varieties. I had a good time experimenting with the decorations. Here are a few that I came up with:<br />

He is so cute!!! But, I do not love the poochy looking stomach that was left behind after he was born. I am within four pounds of my pre-preggo weight and I still look like I am about 3 months pregnant. No good and serious bummer. So, I bought a Bellefit girdle today. Drew is 4 months old. But, I figured better late than never to try it. <br />
<br />
Since we don't plan on having more kids - fingers are crossed that this does the trick and pulls my muscles back together!christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-19669713264102342822012-02-12T19:58:00.000-05:002012-02-12T19:58:04.615-05:00Sick children...Two weeks ago, my second daughter got sick. What I thought would be this quick little cold from her turned into a miserable mess! We had sick children for 9 days straight and one week later, my oldest sill has a runny nose. <br />
<br />
This is our summary:<br />
Kaleigha: fever for 6 days, higest temp 103, possible pre-pnemonia & ear infection.<br />
Jillian: double ear infection, one ruptured ear drum, fever & cough.<br />
Drew: Bronchilitis, fever of 102.7, ear infection, cough & pitiful feeling.<br />
6 doctors appointments, 1 urgent care visit and one visit to draw Drew's blood at Children's hosp.<br />
We missed four days of work, three days of preschool missed and paid $200 in co-pays & $150 for childcare we didn't use.<br />
<br />
It stunk. But, my children are alright and healing up nice and healthy. In the midst of this I learned of a friend from high school whose 8 year old daughter is battling cancer for the second time, with a grim prognosis. Perspective, hmm.christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-82905816484452948822012-02-01T20:26:00.000-05:002012-02-01T20:26:07.025-05:00Strawberry Chocolate Footballs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zY6Lvldke38/TyniceqvACI/AAAAAAAAAoA/VyzmeTzpI6Y/s1600/IMG_4223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zY6Lvldke38/TyniceqvACI/AAAAAAAAAoA/VyzmeTzpI6Y/s640/IMG_4223.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
For the chocolate strawberries<br />
*20 Hershey Kisses<br />
*1 Tablespoon Crisco<br />
*20 medium strawberries<br />
<br />
For the lines:<br />
*2 Tablespoon white chocolate chips<br />
*1 teaspoon Crisco<br />
<br />
These were super easy and fun to do. I melted about 20 hershey kisses for a minute and mixed it together with a tablespoon of Crisco. Stir until melted. Dip the strawberries into the chocolate and then I place into the fridge to cool and then I pipe the lines on.<br />
<br />
I put the white chocolate into a baggie and snip off the end of the bag to create a small hole. This is easier than using a pastry bag :)christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-27113356817496125142012-01-31T11:46:00.001-05:002012-01-31T11:47:15.149-05:00Sweet Shot: Kaleigha<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other day Kaleigha looked so cute with her dress and braids that I just had to take her picture... problem was, she wasn't feeling it right away...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b27PdZwsQho/TygYjjbhmeI/AAAAAAAAAng/cMdzI1cmwQM/s1600/IMG_4349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b27PdZwsQho/TygYjjbhmeI/AAAAAAAAAng/cMdzI1cmwQM/s640/IMG_4349.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Kale Chips: <br />
*One bunch Kale<br />
*1 Tablespoon Olive Oil<br />
*Salt, to season<br />
<br />
Heat the oven to 350. Tear the kale into bite size pieces (My pieces were the size of a large potato chip). Mix the kale with the olive oil and dust with the salt. Put the kale pieces on a large cookie sheet, so they aren't overlapping. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes.<br />
<br />
I have read that the kale can go from being crisp to burnt pretty quickly. I checked it around 10 minutes and mine was not done. The key is to pull it out when you see the edges turn a nice brown color.christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-33645758756912242472012-01-28T10:49:00.000-05:002012-01-28T10:49:29.544-05:00Heart Shaped Pizza Mini's<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KplQRvQiUz8/TyQUzR1YSJI/AAAAAAAAAmo/m9gfG55h3go/s1600/IMG_4485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KplQRvQiUz8/TyQUzR1YSJI/AAAAAAAAAmo/m9gfG55h3go/s640/IMG_4485.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

Recipe:<br />
<br />
*Pizza dough (store bought works fine in a hurry)<br />
*Pizza Sauce<br />
*peperroni's<br />
*mozzerella cheese<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 375 (or package directions). Roll out pizza dough on floured surface. Cut out desire shapes. Put about a tablespoon of pizza sauce on each pizza mini; spread to the edges without going over. Sprinkle with cheese and desired toppings. <br />
<br />
*If using store bought, the leftover dough is tricky to reshape, so we made it into a little pizza for my husband to eat :)christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-4813064542077202232012-01-28T07:39:00.001-05:002012-01-28T07:39:00.195-05:00Savory Pot Roast with OnionsSince I don't follow recipes exactly when I am reading them (for one reason or another) I have trouble sometimes making the item again. That is what is happening to me now :( I made a pot roast back in November that tasted really really really good. Usually if I can find the base recipe, I can remember... but I can't even find this base recipe. So here goes what I remember with a few changes. <br />
<br />
We loved it!!<br />

Savory Pot Roast:<br />
<br />
*1 1/2 pound Roast ( I used a beef chuck roast shoulder)<br />
*2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (or butter)<br />
*1 pressed garlic clove<br />
*salt<br />
*1/2 teaspoon rosemary<br />
<br />
*1 onion chopped lengthwise<br />
<br />
Sauce:<br />
*1/4 cup red wine vinegar - or- red wine<br />
*1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce<br />
*1/2 jar of Heinz low fat gravy<br />
* 2 Tablespoons water (if double, use 1/4 cup)<br />
*1 teaspoon rosemary<br />
*1/2 teaspoon bay leaf or 3 whole bay leaves (whole to be removed after cooking)<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 375. Put the olive oil (or butter) into a skillet & turn on. I trim the fat off of the meat and then pierce the meat with the fork several times on both sides. I sprinkle with salt and then I place the meat into the hot skillet. Put the rosemary and pressed garlic onto the top of the roast. At this point, the bottom is ready to be flipped. I look for a nice even brown color with a few carmel streaks. This locks in the flavor when it is baked in the oven. <br />
<br />
Set the meat aside in the dish you will be using. Put the onion on the sides around the meat.<br />
<br />
Combine the gravy, red wine, Worcestershire Sauce and water. Mix well and pour over the top of the roast. <br />
<br />
Cook at 375 for an hour. <br />
<br />
Note: When I make a roast this way, I cook the vegetables separately. I have found the potatoes get too soggy with this roast. I use my Roasted Root Vegetable recipe to accompany this dish.<br />
<br />
If doubling this for a 3-4lb roast, do not double the vinegar. If using wine, double :)christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02975847555018579731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030944381038270199.post-73519953430277539522012-01-27T17:09:00.000-05:002012-01-27T17:09:31.209-05:00Roasted Root Vegetables<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
*3 potatoes<br />
