Ahh coffee.

Some times you just have to make a fresh batch in the afternoon. It has been one of those days.

Lotion

Today During Owens "rest" time he decided to dump an entire bottle of goats milk lotion (not cheap) all over his rug. He then (well I am only guessing the sequence of the events as I did not see it happen) rubbed it into ever fiber of his rug. Also at some point he coated his entire (clothed) body in it. No photo because I was too stunned, and also I'm not sure it would be wise to let him think it was a photo worthy activity. the bight side our house smells really good and Owens floor is clean now.
Ah motherhood you are an adventure!

I spy

I spy a man with a little green tie driving a bus...
Owen: I spy the fire man and the Bob the builder rolly machine at the beach!!
Its just the carpet
Owen: No its the beach, are you done with you email? lets do something fun like maybe watch a movie or play some match cars...OK lets watch a movie or match cars or something. Hey keep your hands off the puter.
Ok buddy.

Little artist

I love to watch him paint. He talks about the things he thinks he is painting and about what colors change to what when he mixes them. Some of the paintings are quite good but most of them just end up looking like mud. Right now he doesn't care about things looking a certain way he just gets sheer joy out of the process. I know it wont always be this way so I am soaking it all in while I can.

Pumpkin seeds

Easy as 123...4. Just carve pumpkins, rinse seeds, soak seeds in sea salt and water overnight, then bake them at 200-250 in the oven until golden brown.

Bread machiene sucsess!!!

This bread was white and squishy and eatable without being toasted (unlike most GF bread)! I ate a warm piece right out of the machine, then saved the rest for our french toast breakfast with the neighbors. I didn't tell anyone it was gluten free and no one was the wiser. I am officially in love with the "Breadman".

Freezer

We have a new (to us) Freezer!! It is an upright 21 cubic ft beast. I had MG go to pick it up with a friend a couple weekends ago and this week he will be putting it into our basement! I am so excited I can't even explain in words. Next week I am going to make and freeze sauces (enchilada and bolognese).

Not related to this post: My camera is still sans battery and I have been taking some pics on MG's i-phone so as soon as I get those photos on the PC I will have way more interesting things to blog about.
