If you let Aubrey pick fresh strawberries...

If you let Aubrey pick fresh strawberries, she will pick too many.
When she picks too many, she will decide to make jam so they don't go to waste.

After she makes the jam, she will suddenly get hungry for something delicious to put her jam on.
Because she is hungry for something to put her jam on, she will look at bread recipes.

When she looks at bread recipes, she won't be able to pick just one recipe. She will pick two.

When she picks two recipes, she will make two different types of bread.
After she makes two types of bread, she will realize the kitchen is a disaster.

When she realizes the kitchen is a disaster, she will also remember that she has to cook dinner.

So she will cook dinner, clean the kitchen, and then enjoy her jam on two different types of bread.

Because she baked, cooked, cleaned, and ate (while caring for her two-year-old), she will put him to bed and collapse in exhaustion on the couch.

You are so creative. Or else a good copier.

Wish I was there to share your jam ... or better yet to play with Judah and put him to bed for you. :)

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
