Blue Balls

The boys and I went to Bob White Acres this morning to go blueberry picking. While Eric and I picked Evan enjoyed eating them and yelling "blue balls" at the top of his lungs.

Chef Eric

Eric is a baker...every chance he gets to help in the kitchen he's there. He made this cake almost all by himself.
Here is the recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Blueberry-Cream-Cheese-Pound-Cake-I/Detail.aspx?prop31=2 and I have to say it turned out great. I used butter instead of oil, floured 2 cups of blueberries so they wouldn't sink and made a vanilla glaze for the top. This recipe is a keeper.

the best part is licking the beater

Fathers Day continued

My parents (Bubbie and Zaida) came up for dinner and the boys enjoyed reading books with Zaida.

Fathers Day 2009

Happy Fathers Day Joe I love the fact that Joe has a job...that I am able to stay home to raise the boys...but sometimes it makes me sad that he has to work on Sundays and special holidays (like Fathers Day) are always cut short because of work.

We love you!

Healthy Kids Day

Eric and I went to Healthy Kids day at our local YMCA. It was a great day for both of us. The kids did a half hour Yoga class, had a healthy snack and walked a mile. I am very proud of how well Eric listened and followed directions....and he loved loved the Yoga class.

Picasso

Eric loves loves to draw...here is a picture that he drew of daddy. Can you see the resembalence?

I am Thankful by Eric

Halloween 2008

Eric was a very happy Buzz Lightyear. Evan was Charlie Brown and Daddy was....just plan old scary. We had a great time. I took the boys out while Joe scared not only the children but some neighbors too. Eric loved trick or treating but after alittle bit he told me he was done and wanted to go home and help daddy give out candy.

He was a natural...he stood at the table outside yelling to people..."I have candy. Come and get my candy." I was so proud of him.
Look at all of my candy

It's that time of year again

This is the time of year that I go to bed with socks on and wake up with them off. When I go to make the bed or change the sheeets there are at least 7 pairs of socks at the end of the bed.

Fire Prevention Month

All the firehouses in this area are having open houses. Here are some pictures from last weekend.I think that Eric climbed in all the trucks at least twice.

But his favorite part was watching the Helicopter last and take off.

Friends

My best friend Jennifer is getting married and I am currently planning her bridal shower....but I have to say it's so wierd talking to her on the phone and not being able to tell her things. Man it sucks...but I am so happy for her.

And speaking of Jennifer...I asked Eric who his favorite princess is and he told me that Aunt Jennifer is his favorite princess bride.

Funny

Eric loves dogs and the other day he wanted to buy dog biscuits to give to dogs in our neighborhood. The one's that he picked out were special for Halloween but for the most part they looked like graham crackers. Fast forward to last night. I see Joe with a bag of cookies and he's crunching on something...I scream laughing THOSE ARE DOG BISCUITS...he goes and spits them out in the sink. I couldn't stop laughing and I am still laughing thinking about what his face looked like.
