That Food Guy.

It's a sad state of affairs.  I have nothing worthy to blog about so I'll leave with you a picture of the "food guy".  That's what Jude calls himself.  I bought the great chefs hats at Michaels the other day and "the food guy" decided he wanted a picture of himself and his apprentice in front of the fridge, with the fridge door open mind you and a stick of butter in his face.  Go figure.  Apparently he wants to start a kid foodie blog.  As if I have time for that!  Wouldn't that just be so cute though.  I may have to do a vlog post one day of him cooking.  He's a strange one, takes after his dad.  Anyways, they love to cook and when I have the patience and the sanity I let them help.  I found some really great kiddie gadgets here so they can peel, cut and measure to their little hearts content.  Not sure what's up with the look on Bella's face.  Poor baby had the flu over the weekend and then back to the dr. wednesday with a secondary sinus infection.  She's pretty sick of being sick.

Oh, and speaking of Michaels earlier, if you love dollar bins as much as I do, you must go and check out all the goodies they have.  I bought paper doilies (green and white), cupcakes stencils, rooster coaster (cute ones), chef's hats, a wooden play pizza and cookies, grocery pad, cupcake toppers, etc...  I could have bought out the whole section, minus the Paula Dean stuff (I don't much care for her).  They even had some adorable grocery pads for toddlers with pictures that I didn't buy because, well, I don't have toddlers anymore (sob, sob).  I looked for something like that years ago.  It's just not fair that when I'm done having babies, they come out with all kinds of cute stuff!  Anyways, I'm looking forward to 69 degrees today.  Time to wash the snow off the car (only for it to snow again Monday/Tuesday).  Makes me want to move to Cali that much more, the crazy Oklahoma weather.  Have a super great weekend!

Well folks, it finally happened...we have a loose tooth in this house. We also have a really happy six year old who would just love for you to wiggle it ;) If any of you know Bella and know how the last year has been, you will know that she has been waiting for this moment her whole life. I think it was about a year ago that she first informed us that her tooth was loose. When she announced it this morning, that her tooth was in fact "really" loose this time I stuck my finger in her mouth without haste and proceeded to test it out. About 5 seconds later, 5 seconds of the willies that is, I declared that Yes! her tooth was in fact loose! We jumped up and down and screamed and laughed. Now what? In reality, Tristan and I think that loose teeth are pretty gruesome. Hopefully that little bud underneath will just push it out otherwise I will have to call on the Weiss clan for a little help ;) Amanda you better hope it's out before Friday!

On another note, Tristan has been hinting around lately that he would like some Scotch eggs. Well...me not being British and all, googled it and found a recipe hoping this particular recipe would be just like his mums and not Americanized. So, I boiled some eggs. Turns out, if you boil eggs too long the yolks edge turns green. Hmmmm....what to do? Well, I told Tristan that the thought of making these eggs and having to fry something grossed me out (made me want to throw up were my exact words). What happened next you ask? The man googled "how to boil eggs?" He then proceeded to tell Me, how to hard boil an egg. You know what I said? "Why don't you Google how to do your laundry!"

lunches...

I love packing lunch for Bella! She is such a good eater (always has been) and so therefore I enjoy packing healthy bento's for her everyday. On occasion she decides she would like to eat at school so I get to sleep a few minutes later in the morning and forgo my normal lunch packing routine. She loved "chicken with the bone" or what we call chicken legs and the little mini salad bar fit for miniature vegetarians in the making. It really is tiny and surreal! Although the chicken legs are tantalizing to her taste buds at first, she quickly decides she likes her mommy made lunches which tickles me pink :) So, here is a look at a few typical lunches for Bella. I do get more interesting with lunches, but hey I don't have time to take pictures and do a gourmet style lunch, so this is what you get this evening.




As if I haven't exposed you enough to our weirdness, here is a typical breakfast in the Vaught house. MARMITE! YUM! It's a British thing and I knocked it, but once I tried it I was hooked. It's loaded with vitamins too which was a bonus for me when the kids decided they liked it too. Just so you know, it's a gummy, gooey, dark brown paste that smells pretty bad in the jar. But on toast with butter it takes the cake!
