I've seen a lot of people posting about pinterest, so I'll throw one out there too! I heart Pinterest. I also love that I can hang out with the kids and browse at my leisure. hehe At first I just was overwhelmed with amazing ideas. Now I've started to actually use some of my pins. I hope that is a trend that continues. The first thing I used that I pinned was cutting up letters from cereal boxes and other containers that would be thrown away anyways. I have an old wipe case on a kitchen counter and just throw 'em in there whenever I have new letters. I hope M (and C down the road) enjoys recognizing, sorting, rearranging, making words ?! at some point, but I figure that I'll be ready for that day!
Then I made 7-layer dip - one of my favorites. The recipe I pinned is basically the same one my family uses, so it was pretty much just pinned to remember to make it every once in a while.
The THIRD thing I made is the reason for this post. JJ had a midterm Monday. Add that to studying for the boards, and basically we haven't seen daddy in a while. In a conversation about feelings Sunday, M made the comment, "Sometimes I'm sad when I can't see my Daddy." I decided we would go on an adventure and bring Daddy and his study buddies dessert! So. much. fun. But what dessert?? I had made cookies recently and wasn't feeling it. SO! I turned to my faithful pinterest and found a Better than *you know what* cake. Mmmmm. Since it was my first time making it, PLUS I had two kids keeping my busy while I was supposed to be making it, PLUS I had a very tight schedule to make it (bring it to Daddy AND get home at a decent time), I decided it may not be better than s-e-x, but it was AT LEAST better than studying! My Better than Studying cake turned out to be a major success and it was way fun to visit Daddy. M loves some of JJ's buddies and she was delighted that one of them humored her and took her up and around the building, on the elevator, etc. numerous times!
A few other funnies:
M was sitting on the couch watching a movie, when all of a sudden, I heard *a noise*.
Me: Honey! Do you need to use the restroom?
M: No Mommy! That came out of my mouth!
M: Oh, I'm just teasing, like my Grandpa.
