Pinterest Anyone?

I heart Pinterest. I visit almost daily and have gotten some really great ideas. I have tried out a bunch of different things I have seen and pinned. I am thinking of putting a section on the blog of things I have tried. First off one that we tried out this weekend for breakfast. I had seen similar things on Pinterest and last weekend a close family friend and patient who caters had brought some breakfast croissants to Daddy's office. They were ham, cheese and a pepper jelly croissant. Very yummy and everyone ate them up so I thought I would give them a whirl this weekend. Very easy and tasty. I used ham, white cheddar for half of them and the other half I added a little blackberry jelly. Cause that is what I like.
I thought they were both yummy and would definitely do them again. Here are some pictures from our experiment of the finished product.

Our Lorax Trip

Our trip to see the Lorax was bumped around a little over the weekend. We finally ended up going tonight with our neighbors. We all loved the movie. So good. I think it will be a purchase once it comes out on DVD. Here is a picture of the boys after the show sporting some Lorax Love.

If you haven't seen the movie yet...What are you waiting for?

Do You Swing?

The Boss decided it was time to try out the swing in the back yard. He wanted to show us how he didn't need anyone to push him anymore. He can do it all on his own. The only problem...it wasn't his swing it was the Lady Bug's swing.


Once we convinced him to let her have a turn he did a good job pushing her.


She enjoyed it at first and gave some good belly laughs but in the end she wasn't a big fan of how high he was pushing her and wanted to get off.

Friday Night at Our House!

Celery Anyone?

We have been trying to get more veggies in our diet. So the other day when the Boss and I were chomping on a veggie tray the Lady Bug decided she had to try some too. First she at the stem on some broccoli, not the floret...the stem. Then she toyed with a carrot but it ended up on the floor. She finally decided that celery was the real winner. She ate the entire stalk of celery.



Excuse the pics she was sitting on my lap when I took them and she wasn't a fan of the flash in her face.

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!

Last night we had Family Literacy Night at the Boss's school. Each grade K-5 had a teacher read one of the Dr. Suess books to the families that went. It was a nice even that they had a long with the book fair. We bought 3 new books that the Boss was super excited about. We listened to part of the Cat in the Hat and the Lorax. We were there for all of the Oh, Places You'll Go! and the Foot Book. After the reading of the books they gave away a bunch of Suess books as door prizes. He was bummed he didn't win, but was excited to get to take a picture with The Cat in the Hat.

In Honor of our Favorite Author

Tomorrow is Dr. Suess's birthday. Hopefully we will be able to go see the Lorax sometime this weekend. I wanted to share these quotes from Dr. Suess:
