Cooking with Spike!

For over 10 years I've worn these pants to work out in and to walk Barth in. They are affectionately known as my Barth walking pants. In the winter I also wear them to workout. For all the years I've known Lululemon I have sworn I wouldn't become a Lululemon mom. Today, I walked into a Lululemon store. And well. Now let's just say I'm officially a Lululemon mom. And these pants are officially retired. Yes, I've sold out. But their clothes are just so soft and comfortable! Argh!!

Parenting rule number 108. Don't let the baby eat beers on his own. It looks like he was punched.

Redemption- pasta carbonara. The smell of frying onions and bacon killed the fish sauce smell and it's yummy comfort food and it's quick and easy.

I went running this morning. I came home. Made breakfast for all three kids and got s out the door. J was still asleep when I hopped in the shower. When I came out I found this. B had gotten j out of his crib, brought him downstairs, got him in his highchair and was feeding him breakfast. He really is the best big brother. There is some thing to be said for having a baby when the big kids are old enough to help. Guess I'll just sit back and eat some Bon bons now.

S in her new hat she got from the prize box at school.

Someday there will come a day where I will no longer go to put in my tennis shoes at 5:30am and there will be no squinky's in my shoes. And that day will be kind of sad. And great. But also sad.

Fwd: The weekend according to Ben....

This picture is the lunch is where Ben held court over Taj, Hayden and James and regaled them with stories from NYC.  My favorites were ...

1.  That there were a hundred thousand maybe even a google of taxi cabs in NYC and that he got to ride in them and that his cousin Lomie knows how to do the credit card swipe to pay for them.

2.  That we went sledding and that at the bottom of the hill are these benches that you can slam into and die and that his cousin Josh saved someones life and then broke his arm.

3.  That his daddy is the only daddy that knows how to make Chicago style snow balls (Megan interrupted at this point and said Chicago style hot dogs? Ben said no Chicago style snow balls) and that we got into the best snow ball fight ever and that he and his dad won because of the Chicago style snow balls.

The weekend according to Ben...
