No thanks to all of YOU........

but I came upon a post idea....I was at WORK (yeah, I know...rare event) and was eating lunch (very important). There was a jar of Amish Peanut Butter sitting on the table. I thought...hmmm...what makes peanut butter Amish? Well, I'll TELL YOU. Apparently it must have corn syrup, peanut butter, AND marshmallow cream mixed together. Yeah..and if you look at that website you'll note that there are about twice as many dessert recipes as dinner recipes.

Needing inspiration

I'm not feeling very inspired. I thought perhaps I'd ask my audience what they would like me to blog about...work, life in the midwest, countdown to Saturday's NFL draft, more about the neighbor? More book discussions? More bird ids? Or should I just stick to pictures of the boy and dog? Now is your chance...give me some ideas.

Did everyone have this toy?

I knew this day would come...

Recently I-man has been very interested in feeding Maggie her food. Usually Maggs eats it so fast she chokes, but recently she leaves it for a few hours before consuming (I'm guess because she's getting food thrown to her by the boy. She must feel the D.O.G. food isn't quite as appetizing anymore) . So, it's been "cute" watching I-man go to her dish, take out a piece of her food and walk over to her and feed it to her. Piece by Piece. Yeah....you all knew that wasn't going to last. Today I fished a slightly soggy piece of dog food out of I-man's mouth.

A day with G'ma and G'pa

Last week I left I-man with his G'ma and G'pa for the day while I went to work. I came home to this scene. A nap going on 2 hours....snug on his G'ma's lap. Life is good!



Here is the breakdown of the day:
8:30-9am: oatmeal and bananas
10:15: yogurt and applesauce
10:30: change
11-12:14: nap after 3 oz milk
12:20-12:45: chasing cat
1: 00: Lunch: rice, chicken, veggies, banana, grapes, Water.
1:40: change. In a good mood
2:00: 6 oz milk
3:30: more milk
3:30-5:20: nap on G'ma.

Happy Easter

Photo project

New blog to check! A photo blog with my friend...www.carotevi.blogspot.com
check it out. Should be weekly photos.

Look at that belly!!!!

Pestering the cat is SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Recent pictures

We've been exploring the outdoors a lot this past week and taking our "cars" out for a few test drives in the driveway. Spring is here and apparently the leaves taste good...

A good drink

Cholesterol

I checked my cholesterol the other day. My numbers came back pretty good. Total up from 130's to 143, but triglycerides an all time low of 27. LDL (the bad stuff) up to 70 (used to be in the 50's) but the HDL (good cholesterol) finally got into the 60's! Yeah. I celebrated with an ice cream!

Stay tuned!

Tomorrow I-man and Maggs are going for a fundraiser photo shoot! It will be a spring-themed sitting, so it should be fun. The question remains, however, what outfit I-man should wear?

Looking for Maggie

Caught the I-man doing this when I asked him "Where's Maggie". Little does he know that Maggie's belly is a bit too big to squeeze under the couch! He's been finding the cat under the couch a lot lately (probably hiding from HIM)

New chair?

I-man decided that crawling OVER Maggs (and resting on her a little bit) was the only way to get to Mao (who is sitting on that chair) and pester her. Sometimes this house feels like a circus

Another birthday celebration!

Yesterday was The Husband's birthday. He's old now. We got him a much needed gift. I got a really good deal on this programmable coffee maker
Yeah. He needs another coffee maker like I need another camera. Oh well. It might help him get up in the morning to know a hot cup of coffee is waiting in the kitchen. It might save a little money in the run, too. Since getting him a nice travel mug his daily coffee cost has decreased from $1.99 to $1.60 or so depending on who is serving him. And if he brings in his own coffee he won't even need to buy a cup. Or maybe he'll drink the one from home in the car and still need a second cup to get through the morning?

I am 1

And then there was A TOOTH!!!!!!!

Camp K9

I LOVE Maggie's doggie daycare/boarding place, Camp K9! I just called to make some reservations for her. They always answer the phone like this: "We're having a great day at Camp K9, how can I help you". You can't help but be in a good mood after that greeting and thinking of all the fun the dogs are having! We're thinking of dressing I-man up in a doggie suit and sending him there! He's gotten quite good at giving Maggie her toys and playing "fetch" with her. I think he'd have a blast!
