Poor Moe is sick. And it's not pretty.....In fact, it's gross.

Mimi is trying to take care of him.

Nose pads & Corn

Moe: What dat?
Me: Nose pads to keep Mommy's glasses on.
Moe: No, dat corn.
Me: No, they are nose pads.
Moe: No. Corn. Me eat.
Me: No. They keep my glasses on.
Moe: What dat?

Ugh. Is it Friday yet?

Moe came into our room around 7 am today, and said "stuck, help." I looked at him and immediately saw a green thing in his nose...He then pushed it up his nostril. Despite our best efforts, we could not get it out. We took him to his pediatrician who, with the help of three nurses holding him down, was able to finally get out the crayon. First they had me blow in his mouth while they closed the empty nostril....I did this 4-5 times, and the crayon became dislodged. Then they were able to get it out with a little hook. It was lime green and about 1/3 the length of a crayon! His doctor did say that once a kid goes through something like this they almost never repeat it...so, fingers crossed.

I am going to go put up the crayons...just in case....

Friends gave us two large zucchinis this week. I just had to make some bread!!
I have no idea where this recipe came from, and I have altered it some. Let me know if you make it! :)

Zucchini bread

3 cups of flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsps cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3 tsps vanilla extract
1 cup corn oil or veg oil
3 cups grated/diced zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

This will make 2 loaves. Bake at 350' for 1 hour!!
YUM! YUM!!

SECRET TIP!! When you are pouring the batter in the bread pan, stop after pouring in half, and sprinkle some extra cinnamon on it! Then pour the rest on.

Since this makes two loaves, share with a friend!

Camping

On the road! Going camping!

Here is a nice shot of the campfire around the cabins.
Kevin's aunt and uncle own a nice large piece of land in KY. They built the cabins themselves, and it is amazing!

Me and the kiddos! Poor kids...looks like I am squeezing the life out of them!

Going for a stroll. I love this shot!

Look what my tomboy found!

Yep, a frog! She held him so gently!




This pic sums up the drive home! We were exhausted!

IT's Friday! YAY!
