Today was different...

I got the car today!

Well, that's not the only thing that made today different.  Charlotte slept from 330a - 9am, ate and then went back to sleep until almost 1pm.  I even got 8 hours of sleep, not consecutive but with only a 2 hour break at 2am.  I also got out of the house from 915am - 4pm.

Charlotte and I started out heading to MOPS (mother's of preschoolers) for the 1st time.  Samuel got to stay home and spend the morning with Daddy.

MOPS was fun, there was new friends and old friends, breakfast, COFFEE, and today a clothing swap.  I didn't find anything for Charlotte but left some of Samuel's old stuff.  Every other Thursday is now Mommy and Charlotte time.

After MOPS we headed home and Tyrone let me have the car for the rest of the day!  I dropped Tyrone and Samuel off at The Taco Place (I don't remember the real name) and headed to my mom's house.

Since I had the car I had to drive somewhere, I couldn't go back home, where's the fun in that.

Once we got to Mom's we had snacks.  Milk for Charlotte and Smoothie and Apple Pie for Mommy.  It was such a relaxing afternoon spending time with my sister and mom.

At 3pm we headed to back to pick up Samuel so Daddy could go to Homework Help.  Samuel wanted to go to Fred Meyer so in we went.  We spend way to much time there, Samuel knows the layout of the whole store and where the toys are.

I survived taking two kids to Fred Meyer for the 1st time by myself.  The hardest part was getting Samuel back in his carseat.  So I consider it a success.

By 4pm we were back home and back to our afternoon routine.  So overall today was a great day and I got the car!

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference. Snickerdoodle Recipe 1 Cup Butter 1 1/2 Cups Sugar Cream Together 2 Eggs Creamed and ready for flo...

My Treehouse

I live in a Treehouse, or maybe it just feels like I do.  My mom calls me a former basement dweller.  My husband is a former basement dweller too.  So how did two basement dwellers end up in a treehouse? Our treehouse is a miracle.  When Tyrone and I got engaged we started looking at apartment rents and wondered if we could even afford to get married.  Rents were insanely high and our salaries were pretty low.  So we kinda started to worry but kept looking and then we just stopped.  Fortunately my mom loves a good challenge.  She started looking at houses or condos or anything.  Another thing about my mom, she loves to walk.  She gets bored walking in the same neighborhood so sometimes she'll drive to another and walk there.  View Ridge was one of her favorite places to walk. View Ridge is such a different neighborhood.  There are large homes on the bluff, 1950 ramblers, an apartment building, a church, and our condo. ...

Grocery Shopping

I love to grocery shop! When I was little one of my favorite things was to go grocery shopping with my mom.  I'm not sure why I loved it so much.  Maybe cause I got to spend time with her or cause it was Shopping. My mom home-schooled me until 2nd grade so there was lots of grocery shopping days.  I remember starting school and feeling left out that my sister got to go grocery shopping and I didn't.  Whenever Mom would pick me up from school after grocery shopping I would feel so left out.  Fortunately, I was home-schooled again in 5th & 6th grade.  Grocery shopping was back. My mom used my interests to guide my lesson plans, so she focused some of my projects around the grocery store.  I learned how to check the price per pound to see which size was the better deal.  We studied sugar content in cereal and compared it to the price of the cereal.  In the 7th grade I used the cereal data for my science project, I think I got a blue ri...
