Lunch MY way

I just think it is very funny (to me) when it is time for lunch I am so not "ready" for it...  I guess it's the fact that we seemed to JUST have had breakfast...  Anyways, most days I will do leftovers or whatever I have (depending on what was served for breakfast).  Well today AGAIN was one of those days where I was SO not ready for lunch, and the kids were already playing outside (school work finished, YES my kid did work on MLK day, Youtube ANYONE?).  So how does this lunch sound from today (for the big boys) raw spinach leaves, buttermilk ranch, a chunk of sharp cheddar cheese (YUP cut right off the block) a handful of T.J. potato chips and last but not least an orange, not even peeled! HA HA HA!  It is still sitting on the counter waiting for me... The baby woke up GROUCHY, so for my lunch I ate a few leaves and stuffed them in my mouth and a couple of chips (that he REALLY wanted, TRYING to grab as I chomped them) and YUMMY YUMMY cheese for ME (pepper jack right off the block)!  It's funny to ME! :)  
Off to go and peel an orange!
OH and the baby's lunch?  He got a few pinches of a "nanner" and his easy eaaaaassssssssy fav. food BOOB! 

Advent!

Pretty neat video :)  Thought I would share it...

Some Christmastime fun!

Last night we went to see a live Nativity scene here in town... The kids and I were very excited as they have never seen one "play out".  Beforehand we have watched the movie "The nativity story" and we have always read the Christmas story (a million times) :)  BUT we were excited to see it in front of us, it always makes you feels SO special and makes it SO real. 

We took the kids to get some pizza and then headed over to the church.  Walking up to the church (they had the walkways lined with candles and people directing which way to start then which way to go next).  We were greeted by a news camera :)  AND STOPPED by a man dressed as a soldier talking about the census and then he let us pass, and we proceeded to each stop along the way (Angels/Shepard's/three kings/pony's) with each stop they had a short story teller sharing about what happened on that special night, and then sang a Christmas carol.  The last stop we went into the church where Joseph/Mary and baby Jesus were.  VERY touching!  The people there were all so friendly and kind, they directed us over to the "fellowship" hall and we had some cookies and hot cocoa.  BUT before we left we stood around a fire and roasted marshmallows for smores!!  (They also offered hot dogs, but had we knew we would NOT have ate pizza beforehand) :)  I am SO glad we went to this, it was a very special part of our Christmas festivities.... 

After this BP said he had a surprise for us!  We drove about 10 minutes and was stopped in a HUGE amount of traffic, almost decided NOT to go, but we did some maneuvering (WITH GODS HAND) and found our way (NOT even knowing WHERE we were going, taking side streets etc) and landed ourselves right where we had wanted to be WITHOUT waiting in MILES of traffic!  THANK YOU LORD!  Our surprise was not the traffic, LOL , it was a gorgeous 2 mile lane of houses (BEAUTIFUL houses) decorated!  Check out the pictures on the website (we forgot the camera).  We had such a great time looking at all the lights and decorations.  The baby REALLY liked it, he was wide eyed the whole time!!

Glow Bug diaper review

Super excited for ANOTHER diaper review!  I just "HEART" this diaper!  Super SUPER fun colors and SO SO CUTE!
Again this is a pocket diaper that you stuff with an insert.  So here is the pro and cons list

Pros:
Opening at both ends with a snap in insert to stay in place
super soft inside
COOL colors (I so like the black)
Very easy to snap and put on baby
Holds a ton of pee AND poo :)  WITH gussets like a regular paper diaper (SUPER neat)
Adjustable sized diaper


Cons:
AGAIN NONE  (just that I WANT more and I DONT have any!!)

Check out their diapers (BEWARE you WILL be hooked)!  You can also go to their website and BUY some :)

Just look at how TRIM these fit, and yet they HOLD it all in... EVEN on my chubby Monkey :)

Lotus Bumz cloth diaper review

Super excited that I won a Lotus Bumz diaper, and such a nice shade of blue too!
I decided with little "monkey boy" that I wanted to cloth diaper (again like I did part time with Phillip and Preston), sadly I got rid of the diapers that I had used as they were pretty "tore up" :)  Anyways, on my quest to re-establish my "stash" I entered in some CD giveaways!!  AND I WON! (not 1 but 3, reviews to come).
OK so I'm going to explain the diaper as best as I can and do a pro's and con's list too :)
The diaper is a "pocket" diaper, stuffed with a nice insert
 You can see and read on it on their FB page and on their website:

I would have to say these diapers are a very good price compared to pricey diapers (you know the ones I am talking about)!  But with that being said, I think these diapers hold their own when compared again to costly diapers, they are just as good in quality as the pricier ones.

Ok so here is the list (you can read more about the diapers on their site)


Pros:
Low prices
super soft lining (inside AND out)
Definitely holds a LOT of pee pee :)
Not bulky at all (even with two inserts, even though I only have been using one)

Cons:
Not cheap enough for me to stock up just yet :)

And that is it :)  Make sure to read up on these diapers and LIKE their FB page!!!!!

Carne! :)

So this morning P. was up getting a snack (like he does EVERY morning) it usually consists of a "carrot sauce" a banana or even a granola bar, whatever it is, it is a "SNACK" until I get around to making breakfast.  Well this morning, he kept on asking for another one and ANOTHER one, I told  him NO, that is enough... Well LITTLE BOY decided to sneak past me holding something and ran to the "play room", OF COURSE I saw him :)  I went in and asked him what he had, he was holding it behind his back.. "SORRY mom" he said, I said "WHAT IS IT P"  He then handed me what he had!  It was a BAGGIE of CARNE ASADA (left over from our dinner last night)!!  SERIOUSLY?!  Carne asada P?  Oh come on your NOT that HUNGRY!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!  He is his fathers son!
