Cooking and Playing

While we wait for warmer weather we cook, read and we play...inside... and the occasional mall playground in order to get out of the house...so we don't get too crazy! That pretty much sums up what we have been doing lately. We all have mostly gotten past this annoying cold bug (Maya ended getting an ear infection from it and had to take antibiotics and I think that I may be getting an ear infection as well...yuck!). I am hoping that the white vinegar, breast milk and ibuprofen will help get rid of my ear infection and I will not have to go to the doctor. Anyone else have suggestions for home remedies for ear infections?!? Please let me know!

For Valentines, we decorated cards and made homemade heart oreos...and ate batter naked..well Calvin ate it naked ;) Yummy!






Speaking of art, Calvin did a drawing the other day and it was an actual face. He even told me that it was a face. I know that I have drawn faces for him and told him what they were and pointed out the parts to the face, but I didn't realize he was capable of drawing his own face. Do you think this is an actual face or could it be a fluke and somehow all his scribbles turned into a face? See for yourself.


Oh I LOVE these two kids!








I made some DIVINE peanut butter and banana cupcakes and Calvin ate some more leftover batter ;) You should go to my friends Blog to get the recipe:

Thanks for the recipe Jen! We are enjoying them too much and I think I may have to make another batch...they are going way too fast!


Here is the peanut butter icing! Oh, I will never forget this recipe!




Here is Calvin in his paper bag apron. It didn't last long.


I thought this one was funny! Calvin in all his nakedness...wanting to play with his daddy right after he got home from work.


And these last two were from yesterday. We got back from the store and Maya had fallen asleep in her car seat with her hood over her face. She usually fusses if that goes over her face, but this time I guess she was too tired to even care. So funny. Even Calvin laughed at her when he saw it!



Ok. Goodnight. I am pooped and going to bed!
