Doing our part for the energy crisis

The dishwasher is on its third load of the day. Homemade mac-n-cheese for our preschool feast yesterday, extra cheese sauce for leftovers, banana waffles this morning with Daddy, banana loaf with leftover waffle batter, bean and ham soup, and cornbread - lots of dirty dishes! I love to cook in the cold weather!

New kicks

So I've always been completely against characters on my kids clothes - with the exception of Lightning McQueen. Today I had to go buy Owen a new pair of tennis shoes and was planning on a cool pair of Vans or something like that. Except when he saw these light up Go Diego Go ones he HAD TO HAVE THEM. He actually wore them out of the store and you should have seen him walking through the mall - he thought he was the coolest kid ever! He's been running laps around the house all day, showing me how fast he can run in them. When Adam took them off him to change him into his jammies he cried and wanted them back on immediately. We'll see if he sleeps in them tonight or not!

P.S.

That is a rug burn on his forehead. The other night we were doing a deep clean in both the kids bedrooms and we were having them go under their bunk beds to pull toys out. He had his hands full of toys and couldn't crawl out backwards, so I grabbed his legs and pulled him out. He ducked his head so he wouldn't bang it on the bed rail and came out with a nice red forehead. Oops!

Fish food

We went on a preschool field trip today to the fish hatchery. The kids had a blast feeding the fish and watching them jump. It was so freaking cold, though! Of course my camera battery died after only these two pictures!
