Good Morning Playground

Keegan and I decided to hit the playground first thing after breakfast this morning. The best part about morning playground is that you get it to yourself. The worst part is that everything is still wet. After the playground we went and picked up Daddy from work and went to Costco. We love being able to pick up daddy for lunch.

Sweet Treats

I saw a picture on the front of the Crate and Barrel catalog that had some cute pumpkin shaped treats and I thought they were so cute that I wanted to make them. I went to find the pan but it cost $32.00 so I bagged that idea. I knew I could come up with something similar for much cheaper. So I decided to look for a mini bundt pan. I couldn't find one anywhere. Then the other day we were at JoAnne fabrics of all places and they had a pan that I was looking for. Who would have thought. So I waited until Friday to get the pan because I had a 50% off coupon that day. I got the pan I needed for $5.00. I was thrilled. What a bargain. These are mini pumpkin shaped carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting. They didn't turn out as cute as I imagined but I thought they were pretty good for a first attempt. The next time that I make them I will use a little thicker frosting for the leaves. I also think I will buy a cinnamon stick to use for the stem instead of the raisins that I found in my cupboard. I can't wait to eat them. I imagine they will taste pretty good. Happy October!!!

Thank Heavens for Little Boys

Well I am finally 18 weeks pregnant and that means it was time for my ultrasound. Today we found out that we are having a little boy. It was clear as day but they would not take a picture. It was fun to watch because the baby was pretty active. The sonogrammer did not take very good pictures for us though. Most of them are blurry. Little disappointing. We are really excited and excited for Keegan to have a little brother, a playmate and best buddy. Keegan still does not understand that there is going to be a baby. We have been trying to talk about it but he just carries on and doesn't understand. We bought him a baby doll so he could hold it and get used to baby. However everytime we try to give him the baby doll he doesn't want anything to do with it. We haven't thought of a name for our new little boy so if any of you have suggestions we would be happy to hear them. The name Woim has been voted out. haha. The other good news is I am finally over the sickness. I actually have been able to brush my teeth this week with out losing my stomach. Thank heavens for little boys.

Fresh Homemade Bread

I did it!!! I made fresh homemade bread. I have heard a lot of talk on other blogs about homemade bread and so today I decided to give it a try and this is how it looks. Isn't it lovely.

I called my mom yesterday to ask her for her recipe and to my surprise she said that she doesn't use a recipe. What!! How do you know how to make bread without a recipe? Years of practice was her answer. So I went online and found a recipe. Although making bread is not hard to do it is time consuming because it has to rise and then you have to pound it and then it has to rise again and then you put it in the pans and then you have to let it rise again. Ugggh! Took all day. But it looks great right. I haven't tasted it yet. I was trying to think of something for dinner that would go good with homemade bread but I haven't figured that out either. Anyways, here is to feeling good and being productive. Do I have anyone that wants to be a guinnea pig?
