Chef Jonathan

So I haven't posted anything for a few days because I haven't been feeling so hot. I have a fun cold and it has wiped me out. But before I got this darn cold we did some fun stuff that I wanted to share.

In an effort to be more involved with my kids, I have started letting them into the kitchen when I am doing stuff. Jonathan has taken full advantage of this and become my little sous chef. He loves cooking and helping. Last Thursday we were having Tuna Patties for dinner, so he helped me by making the balls that I would then flatten in the pan to make the patties.
Then on Friday, I decided to make cupcakes. Do NOT ask me why. I am on a diet! But I thought the kids would enjoy it, so I called for them to come help and only Jonathan wanted to help again. He helped hold the mixer and mix up the batter, plus he is great at licking the beaters clean.
Sidney just wanted to take snitches of the batter with her spoon.YUMMY cupcakes!! (Look at that smile! HOw could any mother resist that?)
And as usual...Jenny showed up right in time for eating the cupcakes. It's all good, we had plenty to go around!

Randomness

Movie Edward was pretty Hot. I liked the movie. I didn't like how some things were changed and other things were super cheesed up, but I still really liked the movie!

Brooke won on Dancing with the Stars. That's okay, because Lance and Lacey really stunk with their freestyle dance.

My principal has had a "hard couple of weeks". Or at least that is what one of the teachers said last night at the Community Council meeting to explain why he wasn't there. Judging from the response I got this week from the superintendent and the Director of Elementary Schools....I can just BET that he is having a bad week. OH well. Better now than after a child gets molested by a sub.

Sidney pooped in the tub last night as I was walking out the door. I laughed and said "Bye honey. See ya later. Have fun!" :]

nothing much to say....

Dancing with the Stars is tonight. I am rooting for Lance and Lacey.

crazy week

My week has been Crazy!

Tuesday night Mike and I went to Kingsbury Hall to see "The Rat Pack", our first show from the Broadway Across America season tickets we bought. It was...okay. I think our parents would have enjoyed it far more than we did, judging by the fact that 99.9% of the audience was blue hairs.

Wednesday night we spent ripping plants out of the garden and generally cleaning it up. We filled our garbage can up AND threw tons of stuff over the fence to the neighbors horses. I'm just glad that nothing else is growing. That means my canning is DONE. Hooray!

Besides all that...I have spent every day doing stuff to prepare for tomorrow's Mother/ Daughter Activity Days activity. It's a recognition night too, so we will be giving out awards and welcoming the newbies and I'm the In-Charge gal, so it all falls on me. Which kinda sucks since if something goes wrong or doesn't get done...I get to take that on too. I had to make 4 wall hangings (I will post their picture later), and burn some CD's and and and...you get the picture.

So basically I will be glad when Friday night is over and done. Saturday is the BYU vs Utah game. We will all be in our BYU blue rooting for the Cougs!

And I will most likely be taking a nap too.
