My Little Chef

It doesn't matter what I am making

Kimberly is always right there to help me!

She says she wants to be a Chef (and a dentist)

when she grows up!

We made biscuits and sausage gravy

this morning and she helped every step of the way.
What a great helper!

Tagged............

So you know how there are the little punks who

go around putting their special marks all over

walls, fences and buildings.

Well I have my very own little punk

her street name is Doodle Doo and she is 4 1/2.

At first I thought it was kind of funny and then........

I found it on the doors, walls, the table, Chairs, her doll ..........

And just about anything that doesn't move!

Oh what to do!

TONIGHT

TONIGHT

Ok, so we really don't watch a lot of TV

unless you count Super Why, Sid the Science Kid

and lots of Pokemon!

But I have to tell you that I love Monday night TV!!

I have been waiting for my favorite shows to come back on!

Thankfully we have a DVR and can record them........

Because I get to wait one more week for my DH

to be home to watch them with me!!!!

Oh I can't wait!!!

I guess I will watch a little Dancing with the Stars
to tide me over until I get to watch my Favorite shows.

Apple Orchard Part 2

Our friends Carolyn and Brayden were

unable to join us at the apple orchard earlier this week

so we went back with them today. It was a nice day.

We picked some more yummy apples

and Kimberly found a big cucumber too.

Now we can go home and make

some yummy Apple Crisp.

The perfect recipe for an abundant apple season. After one taste, you’ll want to make it again and again.
Prep Time:20 min
Start to Finish:50 min
Makes:6 servings

4 medium tart cooking apples, sliced (4 cups)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cream or Ice cream, if desired
1. Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with shortening.
2. Spread apples in pan. In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients except cream until well mixed; sprinkle over apples.
3. Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm with cream.

Can you find Kimberly????

This game is kind of like Where's Waldo

But instead you are trying to find Kimberly.

I sent her to her room to clean up.

It was very quiet so I went in to check on her

and this is what I found.

There she is in the corner under the pillows.
LOL! What a silly girl.

Brooke's hard work

After weeks of getting settled back in to school

Brooke is finally getting back on track and doing GREAT!

So as a reward she got to go to Build a Brear and take sister too :)

Brooke already knew what she wanted

and it only took Kimberly a few seconds to choose.

Make a wish

The squeeze test.

Wash and Fluff

A little kiss

And you are ready to get dressed

So many choices!

We had so much fun today!

On the way home we stopped and got pizza too!

Way to go B!

Keep up the good work!

We are so proud of you!
