Can you guess what she's been watching?

They didn't like my soup

For dinner tonight, I made wonton soup.

I've made it before and really enjoyed it. It's pretty easy to make - except when you have two rambunctious kids in the kitchen with you. I was REALLY hoping the kids would eat it. Simon kept spitting out anything that wasn't broth and Isabella took a couple small bites with a disgusted look on her face.

Isabella tried to tell me it was good (like a good daughter should do!) but she had a hard time telling me with a straight face. I told her she didn't have to eat it and I went to go heat them up some leftover mashed potatoes (Isabella's favourite food).

"Mom, are you mad at me for not eating your soup?" Isabella asked.

I laughed and told her that I was actually very happy with her since she at least tried it.

"Do you still love me?" she asked.

"Most definitely!" I answered.

"Does that mean yes?" she asked.

Nanananana

I totally forgot to blog about this when it happened a few days ago...

The kids and I were in the kitchen finishing up eating lunch. Out of the blue, Simon started pointing across the kitchen at the bananas on the counter and said 'Nananana'. Simon is a very quiet kid and besides saying 'dada' and 'mama' once in a while, this was the closest thing to him saying a real word. I was overjoyed.

This update is dedicated to my parents in Mexico, especially my mom who has a newly broken arm. And she is royally pissed about breaking her arm while on vacation. May this cheer her up even just a tad.

Etsy kids' weekend

I am a HUGE fan of etsy. I've mentioned some of my etsy purchases before and because I love it so, I'm hoping to do an Etsy post each weekend of cool kid stuff. Here is my first of such posts...

A little bday and food

Happy 15 months to Simon!!! My boy has turned into a little walking machine! And he does it with the biggest, proudest smile on his face. Still loves his princess movies...

I am so happy to have the tv in the kitchen (we moved it there last week). I'd prefer to have a family room off the kitchen where the kids could play instead of watch tv at the kitchen table...

Pablo is out of town for a couple of days for work. Just me and the kiddos and me on a baking kick! Yesterday I made lime squares. I just love this dessert. (I was too lazy to take my own photos)

I also had the urge to make chocolate covered bananas. DELICIOUS. I have all the Martha Stewart FOOD magazines since they first came out and I get most of my recipes from them.

This morning I made banana blueberry muffins. I just took them out of the oven and Isabella is so darn excited to eat them...and so am I!!!

Health stuff

A couple weeks ago, I had an appointment for a check-up with my doctor. After this appointment, my doctor requested I get some bloodwork done. My doctor's office called and it turns out my vitamin D levels are really low so I have to take 1000 IU a day of vitamin D and I'll need to get bloodwork done again in 2 months to see if my levels have improved.

Pablo's surgery that he was supposed to have in January (which was postponed) is now happening on February 17th. I'm glad it is taking place while I'm off work for 6 weeks so I'll be home to look after him and the kids.

Almost forgot to add: my mom broke her arm a couple days ago - and that was a couple of days into her 6-week Mexico trip. Hope your arm gets better real soon, Mom!!!
