A new addiction!

I bet you weren't expecting this were you? And now you're probably wondering what on earth is that! It's my newest addiction and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's (are you ready for this?)...

Crispy Crunchy Kale Chips!

It's no secret that kale is one of those super foods that really should be on everyone's grocery list, but quite frankly, who wants to eat it? It's bitter and just plain yucky! (In my humble opinion and palate!)

But cooked this way, it's just plain AWESOME! They're crispy and just melt in your mouth.
So not only are you eating something super yummy, but you can check off Vitamin A, C & K, folate, potassium, magnesium, and iron off the list for the day.

So go give it a try - I bet you won't be sorry.

*I do have to give credit for the original idea to my Pastor at church. She's just started this great Mom's group where we cook healthy meals together while talking about Mom stuff. She made a version of these chips and I then went online to find something similar. :)

Homework!

Dane had his first homework assignment! Well, technically it was what he didn't do in class because mommy let him stay home from school to have a Mommy Day. (It was the day after I got home from Anchorage and I wanted some more Dane time!) He had to trace around the dinosaur, cut it out and then color the dots. I couldn't resist capturing this! I imagine homework time won't always be this sweet and fun, so I want to be sure to appreciate it now. :)

Movie Monday

Jaeger thinks this is the funniest thing ever! And he has taken to doing this just about anywhere in the house. Thankfully, I've caught him most times his head was about to hit the hardwood floor!

Sunday Snapshot

This is what I came home to from my Reading Conference in Anchorage (otherwise known as "Mommy Vacation!") WOWZA - I should go out of town more often. :) Loved it all - the flowers, the wine and especially that sweet face in the background so excited to see his Mommy.


This adorable face greeted me at about 2 am and I happily sprinted into his room to love on my sweet Jaeger Ray.

I had a wonderful trip to Anchorage, but I was more than ready to come back to be home with my boys. Just a few days away really can recharge your batteries and I am thankful for a few days of me time (even if it was work! Which, by the way, was a pretty awesome conference!)

Movie Tuesday!?!?!?

I know it's crazy - Movie Monday on a Tuesday, but that's just how we roll. ;)

This video was actually taken about a week and a half ago and I'm proud to say that Dane is doing AWESOME in his big boy undies! He's only had one accident and it was right next to the toilet (he couldn't get his pants off fast enough.) Way to go little man. :)

Sunday Snapshot - Naked Fireman Biscuits!

Someone found his new fire helmet that wasn't supposed to be opened until Halloween. Can you guess what his costume will be?

Jaeger Ray wanted to say Hi too....

Happy Birthday Auntie Jenna!

We love you more than 1,000,000 rides on a swing!
