OK already, everyone can stop hassling me about cutting Penelope's hair. OK already, everyone can stop hassling me about cutting Penelope's hair. ...
Who needs all those fancy toys when your little one will have just as much fun, if not more, with a good ol' cardboard box. Since we just finished moving we have a whole garage full so Chris busted one out and made Penelope a little hideout. Later that evening he got a little more creative... This will surely bring hours of entertainment....
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I made my first turkey ever! I was kinda worried that I would ruin it especially after I couldn't find the plastic baggy with all the icky stuff inside the turkey and everyone kept insisting it was in there. Chris and I searched and searched and couldn't find it anywhere! I thought for sure I was going...
Tonight I made a German meal for dinner! I took some pork chops out of the freezer to thaw and decided to try making something different with them instead of just plain ol' pan fried chops. While thinking about what I was going to make I remembered our trip down from Alaska. We stopped at a German restaurant while we were driving through...
Chris and I made some clay today and had some fun with Penelope. I found a recipe for the clay that called for 1 cup of flour, 3/4 cup of salt and 1 tbs of vegetable oil. We didn't have vegetable oil so we substituted olive oil and ended up using more then 1 tablespoon. Our homemade clay was expensive and healthy. ;)...

She even went down the slide by herself for the first time, over and over and over again. She had so much fun she didn't even notice the other little ones there. A...
The other day I joined a Bakersfield playdate group on Meetup and today Penelope and I attended our first one. We met several other moms and their kids at the park and made a fall craft. Penelope had so much fun she was very upset when we had to leave. Here is a picture of her swinging away and another with the craft...
So I don't have a green thumb whatsoever. I am horrible with flowers and plants and have a hard time keeping them alive. It's a miracle my pepper garden did so well. I guess the fact that the plants were outside and Chris kept reminding me when they needed to be watered helped. One of the things on my list of things I...
Last night for dinner I made some yummy Orange Beef. It came out really good and I got to use my new Wok, that my mom got me, for the first time. About 1 pound of beef sliced into strips ( I used sirloin cause it was on sale at Albertsons for super cheap!) 1/3 Cup of White Sugar 1/3 Cup of Apple...
