My Favorite Food

The Kids ask for these almost every morning, they refer to them as Flat Pancakes, better known as Creps. When I was little they were one of my favorite breakfasts, and I called them roll-up-pancakes. I think they are going to be their favorite food for quite sometime. I can make a tripple batch and they will eat about five each if I let them. I have started buckling down to a double batch and telling them when the batter is all gone they are too. I figure they can't be that bad because they are full of eggs(protien), until they saterate them in syrup.

Flat Pancakes

Umm Ummmmmmm Good!!!!

Multi-tasking

Of all the things I have learned to do one handed, I never thought the following would be on the list. Like cleaning a bathroom with clorox spray, curling my hair, making rolls, or typing on the computer. OK so typing on the computer not a big deal, but come on Wendy, you can put that baby down. It is not that I consciously carry him while accomplishing my daily tasks. It is usually the opposite; I am almost half way done before I realize that he is still on my hip. Pathetic I know, but I have a very strong left bicep. I probably rationalize in my mind that it would take too much time to go find the bouncer and lock him in than do it one handed. Not true, but it happens.

All in a days work

Some say that you look back on the days when your children were little and miss it. I am not yet there and sometimes wonder if that will truly ever happen to me. My life is full of diapers and messes and Laundry, Baby feedings and Toddler Tantrums. Below are a few events that happen to me on a daily basis. Yes the following all happend in one day. The diaper is only one of eight that day. I walked up to the Baby room after cleaning up breakfast to discover that Allie had unloaded all of Austin's clothes out of his closet trying to find something to fit her doll. And yes That would be Lindsay in the top left corner hanging post-it-notes. I have no idea why, But just wait there is more......

All in a Days Work

Yes all the events took place in one day. I often amaze myself that I make it throught each and every day. Jace dumbed out the laundry soap and was playing in it with his trucks, then shortly after I found the dog on the table eating the leftovers. That was a first. Not him eating leftovers Just the on the table part. Oh Ya the sweet moment was Jace taking care of his baby doll that he carries around everywhere.

Ready, Set, Go

Mardi Gras Visitors and Red Lodge

Well we had a little bit of home come to us this past weekend. Our good friends the Trahans came in for a vistit over the Mardi Gras Holiday. If you remember our post with Alayna. One of my Faithful Babysitters in Lousina. Both her and her parents came in for a visit. The girls went with me to the airport to pick them up. They were to say the least estatic! The Trahans brought with them some Boudin, crawfish tails, Beads and King Cake. Clair made us her famous Crawfish Fettucine. And Faith was able to share the Beads and Cake with her class at school. It was fun for both Faith and I to share with her class about the tradition of Mardi Gras. I miss the rich culture of the State.

Alfred and Alayna wanted to take on the slopes at Red Lodge Mountain, It is only about an hour from our house. I decided to take Faith up on Tuesday, Or Fat Tuesday as she learned. I thought I would have a frustrated little girl on the slopes. Not a change. After an hour of lessons she was ready to go. Fast. I would tell her to slow down and turn. "No mommmy I want to go fast" was her reply. I was very impressed. She reminded me of my Brother KayCee, when he was learning to ski.

All in All we had a great vacation. I would have never taken up the trip to Red lodge if our friends had not come. Clair watched the toddlers while Bret took care of Austin at the resort, So I could take a break when necessary to feed him.

We all are still surviving our colds. Yes we were all a little sick through it all. They thought it was funny I had halls in my candy Jar, but they came in handy. It was nice weather, I thought, but the cold weather Clair was hoping for came after she left. It is now 10 degrees outside and six inches of snow on the ground. brrrrrrrr..
