Peas & Carrots

Yesterday we attempted to give Delilah peas & carrots. I had John buy a bag of peas & carrots when he went grocery shopping & we decided to try it out yesterday. I made them in the microwave but it didn't go too hotly. The first try- I put some veggies in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of water (yes, that's what the directions said) and popped them in the microwave for 7 minutes. About 5 minutes & some odd seconds in to it I look in the microwave & notice there's something brown on the carrots. Yea, they're burning to the bottom of the bowl! The second try went a bit better & they seemed to be smushy enough for her.

Ehh not so much. So we decided to try again today. This time I made them on the stove. I boiled them for what I thought was long enough to make them kinda smushy. Ehh... today wasn't any better. In fact it was a bit worse LoL A woman at work gave me a suggestion so I don't have to worry about cooking the veggies & them being too hot... canned veggies!! So yea, we're going to do canned veggies & just rinse them off so they don't taste like the can or have too much salt.

Peas & Carrots- Day 1, Take 1







Peas & Carrots- Day 2, Take 2

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
