To The Doctor

Today Thade woke up early, ready to go to school, and then he said “I remember what today is”. Today Thade and Dylan both have check-ups, and Thade has to get his kindergarten shots. He has to get 4-5 of them, but let me tell you this kiddo is a trooper and has the best attitude about his upcoming appointment. I’m a little panicked about him getting that many shots, but I know it is necessary for him to go to school.

Thade also told me that he can’t wait to give his Doctor a big hug, and he is really excited about his shots. I just love this little guy.

I’ve packed along an ouchie kit for each of the boys. My kit has a little note saying just how proud of them I am, and a little favorite snack for the car ride home too. I’ve already promised Thade an ice cream cone at home if the appointment goes well.

Dylan doesn’t have to get any shots, but he will probably act like he does… Wish me luck, this is going to be a really long day.

Happy Birthday Dylan!

Happy 2nd Birthday Dylan!

It is hard to believe that our little Dylan is officially a toddler. Just where did my little baby go?!? Dylan is our introspective child that is sometimes a bit on the quiet side, but he is also our fighter. He often gets into a little trouble for picking on his big brother. Dylan is pretty sure that he is already 3 and can keep up with his big brother, no matter what. Dylan loves to go on any adventure, and he runs everywhere. He always has a sweet smile and a big hug to give too. We love you Dylan!!! Happy Birthday!

Not The Best Day To Go For A Walk

Monday we had a little time to waste, and I thought it would be fun to take Dylan for a walk. I needed to get my exercise in for Walk KS this week. I didn’t pick the best day though we had a bit of a wind storm, with 45 mile an hour gusts, Dylan wasn’t too happy about the wind either. We did get a half an hour walk in though.

What’s For Lunch 3/23-3/28

It is week #4 of the Not Going Out in March challenge, and that means it is time again for another lunch menu. Here is what I’ve got planned for this week’s yummy lunches:

  • 3/23/09:Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, and Stuffing
  • 3/24/09: Chili and Crackers, the kiddos are having Hot Pockets (Thade’s Request)

  • 3/26/09: Lasagna and Garlic Bread
  • 3/27/09: Salmon Cakes, Corn, and Rice

When it comes to breakfast this week I’ve restocked the pantry with cereal for the boys. I am also planning on making a few batches of Homemade Cinnamon Rolls one for home and one for James to take to work. I think I will also make double batch of Banana Muffins too, James and Dylan really like them.

Breakfast for Dinner

I thought it would be nice to mix up the menu a bit, and on Friday the 13th I decided to make breakfast for dinner. Now it sounds pretty simple, but somehow I managed to dirty up just about every pot and pan in the house making all of the options, but the boys loved it.

I didn’t get any pictures, because the meal was gone in a flash! Dylan was thrilled to have Bacon for dinner, and Thade couldn’t resist the pancakes. James loved the Sausage and Eggs, and my favorite was the Homemade Hash-browns.

It was a fun change-up to a routine dinner-time, and I think Breakfast for dinner will find its way onto the Monthly Dinner Menu again.
