The Stew Tornado...

We had our good friend Ruby over to make some bread last week, we had so much fun we decided to start doing it every week. I have this awesome book called the bread bible and Eric told me I should do a marathon and make all 300 recipes in it, and make a blog about it. It's on my sidebar under sites we like to visit.

We love Ruby!


I left the lid off the flour bucket for the millionth time and I decided that instead of getting upset at the mess I should just take a picture and laugh it up.


Lilli enjoyed her Sunday dinner a little to much! She picked out all the veggies, but wasn't a big fan of the barley I'm thinking.



She managed to get a piece of barley on top of her head.




I was soo excited that Target got feet pajamas, I've been looking for some for Lilli for quite some time. She certainly loves them. I was amazed when I looked at this picture and realized how much Lilli looks like me! She still definately looks like Eric, but I think we've got a good mix going.

Lilli is such a tough little cookie, at her two year old appointment they did an initial screening for elevated lead, and it came back positive.:( I had to take her this morning for another blood test, this one out of her arm. The screening came from her big toe. She didn't even wiggle, she just watched the needle and said "ouch." I hope that the test comes back okay, wish us luck.



Eric is almost done sanding the floor of our spare room, it is looking really nice. You can see in the corner the little patch that isn't done yet to compare! We almost have the wall built back up in the shower so we can re-attach the tiles. Eric has been using his dremel tool to remove the grout so he can replace it all.



I am also working on de junking some more. I've been holding on to all these jeans for several years and finally decided it was time to cut them and make two jean quilts for Lilli and Carmen.

And last but not least...


Our little Carmen is sleeping through the night! It's amazing how much better I have felt since I don't have to get up at 3 am anymore. I'm not quite sure her little tummy was ready though, because she wakes up just starving and it takes her all day to get caught up. But I don't mind feeding every two hours during the day. She is such a sweet baby, we love her.

the best thing to do IS laugh....It's so much easier with grandkids to laugh at the flour or powdered sugar mess than to get all bent about it, cuz it's always me that left the lid off....you should do the bread and blog about it. the floor does look good, Lillie looked wayyyyyy messy! LOL It is so nice that Carmen is sleeping all night long! Taht is the best ever huh! I look forward to seeing the quilts ...good luck you busy little mom! :-)
