We took Kiwi to be groomed yesterday, here she is after we picked her up. You can't tell in this picture but they put two little purple bows in her hair. :p The little dog is starting to grow on me.... ...
Well we have a new addition to the Lavoie household. Chris has been wanting a dog for awhile now. He wanted a little dog and I like big dogs. So of course we ended up getting this... it is in Affenpinscher. At least he didn't bring home the Chihuahua he has begging for! Sorry to anyone that has a Chihuahua, just not my...
We went over to our friends, Josie and Robs house today to hang out. They have a daughter just a few months older then Penelope so while they played we made Sushi! It was so much fun. We made California Rolls and Crab Salad Rolls with Sriracha. We attempted to make "inside out rolls" or Uramaki but ran out of rice. Not bad...
Found this site and thought I would start playing along. Every saturday there is a new photo theme and you are suppose to post a picture on your blog fitting the theme of the week. You can use a past photo or a new one but it has to be one that you have taken yourself. You leave a comment on the above...
I can't believe Penelope is 2 today! We are both sick so we are just going to stay in and get better. Here was her bento for today. She had a Turkey Sandwich, Green Olives, Tortilla Chips, a star shaped Hard Boiled Egg and a piece of Cheese shaped into the number 2. I can't believe Penelope is 2 today! We are both...
We are back from San Diego! We got back last night but I was so tired and SICK to post. Penelope and I both have a cold but I am so happy she was cold free for her birthday party! We had so much fun! Here is the birthday girl in her party dress. Here she is hitting her Pinata , she loved...
I finally made them and here are the photos I promised... First I seasoned them with salt and patted them dry. Then I fried them in Canola oil until browned. Frying is a must if you want them nice and crispy baking just doesn't cut it, trust me I've tried it. While the oil was draining off them I warmed up up some...
Here is Penelope's lunch for today. She had a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Olives and Applesauce. She went to her first Superbowl party yesterday. I am not a football fan but Chris says he is ;p so one of his friends from work invited us over. They had yummy greasy snack foods and I brought along some of my AMAZING guacamole. Apparently it has...
I just had to post these pictures, they are too funny. So I was trying to get Penelope to take her usual nap today but she was fighting it. I had to go into her room twice to tell her to get back in her bed as I could hear her playing. Finally it got really silent and I was sure she had...
I decided to fill Penelope's bento today with some of her favorite things lately. This is all stuff I knew for sure she would gobble up without a fight. The top tier has Green and Black Olives and cubes of Cheddar and Jack Cheese. The bottom tier is Fruit Cocktail, Dried Cranberries and a Strawberry Nutri-Grain bar I sliced up. She calls them...
Penelope had her gym class yesterday. It was so much fun. She walked across a balance beam, jumped on a trampoline and even had a train ride. She really enjoys going and I hope Chris can skip out of work for a bit sometime and come watch her. She is so brave jumping up on all the equipment with no hesitation while I...
Look at the pretty lilies Chris bought me for being the best wife in the whole wide world. ;p Pretty huh? Did I mention that my orchid plant is still alive? Yup, the flowers have long gone but the actual plant itself is thriving. I still have yet to transfer it to a prettier pot. I just know when I do it's going...
