I hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients:</u><br />
<ul><li>3/4 cup of ice</li>
<li>A giant heap of peanut butter</li>
<li>1 tbsp of cocoa powder (unsweetened)</li>
<li>2 tsp sugar (add to taste)</li>
<li>Milk- just enough to cover the ice and PB... but less if you like it thicker</li>
</ul>Throw all ingredients into the magic bullet (or blender) <br />
Blend. <br />
<br />
Change up the ingredients to taste... i might try a banana instead of peanut butter tomorrow! Could work for breakfast with some protein powder too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478230634820244074.post-90664064591202112192011-07-15T19:00:00.000-07:002011-07-15T19:00:05.838-07:00How to change a tire... 2 year old style!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hmmm... what is the problem??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RMIxVnr-Db0/TiDqEy5DCtI/AAAAAAAADAU/lg2hqSXYhqc/s1600/July+15+%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RMIxVnr-Db0/TiDqEy5DCtI/AAAAAAAADAU/lg2hqSXYhqc/s400/July+15+%25288%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> First I have to twist these things...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hF6Z9b_7QQg/TiDq4cmaASI/AAAAAAAADAY/bqKCmI2C6q4/s1600/July+15+%252810%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266px" m$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hF6Z9b_7QQg/TiDq4cmaASI/AAAAAAAADAY/bqKCmI2C6q4/s400/July+15+%252810%2529.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Then I use this thingy... and I puuuuushhhhh</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7QiThTnpkOo/TiDreZgSKZI/AAAAAAAADAc/VouRZ3UMPZY/s1600/July+15+%252814%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7QiThTnpkOo/TiDreZgSKZI/AAAAAAAADAc/VouRZ3UMPZY/s400/July+15+%252814%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Then twist some more</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VDVwOV1Ku6g/TiDsC9YobCI/AAAAAAAADAg/nljxbBUBsXQ/s1600/July+15+%252816%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266px" m$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VDVwOV1Ku6g/TiDsC9YobCI/AAAAAAAADAg/nljxbBUBsXQ/s400/July+15+%252816%2529.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> And TAAA DAAA</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p0W01LerwcM/TiDscEKk0xI/AAAAAAAADAk/-z1JTEGckEw/s1600/July+15+%252821%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p0W01LerwcM/TiDscEKk0xI/AAAAAAAADAk/-z1JTEGckEw/s400/July+15+%252821%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> It's a tire treasure!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hUin3feUcC8/TiDs3psXPBI/AAAAAAAADAo/3_hNzaWEjD0/s1600/July+15+%252822%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hUin3feUcC8/TiDs3psXPBI/AAAAAAAADAo/3_hNzaWEjD0/s400/July+15+%252822%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Now I look through this thing...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4jjNl67Qrs/TiDtTRs-3KI/AAAAAAAADAs/k9fQnbOsoNU/s1600/July+15+%252823%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4jjNl67Qrs/TiDtTRs-3KI/AAAAAAAADAs/k9fQnbOsoNU/s400/July+15+%252823%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> and I bring it to Daddy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9uhoFlXuBZo/TiDtxAEMfTI/AAAAAAAADAw/OUbo7thi5FI/s1600/July+15+%252826%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9uhoFlXuBZo/TiDtxAEMfTI/AAAAAAAADAw/OUbo7thi5FI/s400/July+15+%252826%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Ewww... it was dirty!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--J6zMsOjEYo/TiDuOEnwhEI/AAAAAAAADA0/FBR3Wivs7X4/s1600/July+15+%252827%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" m$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--J6zMsOjEYo/TiDuOEnwhEI/AAAAAAAADA0/FBR3Wivs7X4/s400/July+15+%252827%2529.JPG" width="266px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> ALL DONE!!!

<br />
After being on the wait-list for over a year, Lily was accepted into the pre-school in the "big kid" school down the street! She is going to start on August 3rd. Currently I drive her to the town over a few days a week for pre-school... it will be very nice to only have to walk 5minutes or drive for 1. We went for a tour last Friday and she is very excited to start there. We will really miss her current school and teachers, Lily adores them... but it will be much nicer to have her so close to home!<br />
<br />
I also had a big change last week... I resigned from the company I have been at for the last six years! They were over an hour commute away, and were not being very accommodating for my return from maternity leave. I decided awhile ago I would look for something new, and I was very lucky, and now am going to be working for an amazing company called Diva International. They are the creators of <a href="http://www.divacup.com/">The DivaCup</a>! I started today just for a little bit of training, but I will be starting full time in September when my maternity leave is over! It is a great company, with amazing people, and I am really looking forward to working with them all. If any of you readers are interested in trying the DivaCup and would like more information, let me know!<br />
<br />
In the fall we are very fortunate to have our mom's watching Charlie full time, and Lily part time! Nelson's mom is going to watch Charlie Monday-Thursday, and Lily on Tuesdays- she is also going to walk Lily to and from school each day! My mom is going to come out here on Friday's to spend the day with the kids! It makes me feel great knowing they will be well cared for while Nelson and I are at work.

I was going to go out and buy a brand new one- but then she found this one!<br />
<br />
Both our kids, and their friends, all love the water table! They will play outside with this table for hours, literally, hours!<br />
<br />
Our backyard deck is shady from about 2pm, so it is perfect! We also set up a small splash pool for them as well.<br />
<br />
If you have kids, and it gets hot where you live, go out right now and get yourself a water table- you will never regret it!<br />

He is walking along furniture all the time, he will let go and stand on his own too! He somehow manages to get into everything- even when we think there is nothing for him to get into. His favourite toys are Lily's... with the addition of his Mickey Mouse dolls and his toy cars! He loves to chew on puzzles as well. Charlie really loves to play outside with the water table- he gets so excited and squeals with delight when he gets wet!<br />
<br />
Charlie pretty much eats whatever we do- I still make him some of his own foods to eat when ours aren't suitable... his favourite being pasta risotto, which I will post a recipe for soon! <br />
<br />
He loves to "talk" all day long- and sometimes it seems Lily understands him.<br />
<br />

Although, I most likely wont be camping again until I don't need to worry about bottles, diapers and baby food! We had 10 people total camping- us 4, my friend Kellie, her husband, and their 2 kids, as well as my sister and her husband! It was fun- 6 adults, 4 kids, and 1 dog!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We left Friday morning and drove the 3hrs up to the camp grounds- we made a quick lunch stop at Pizza Hut, and continued on! Once we got to the campsite we quickly got to work setting up the tents and figuring out how to park the cars to block in our area best! The girls had fun running around with their Canada flags and exploring our area!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The girls really loved being outside, as did the boys... but the boys are both crawlers- so it was somewhat frustrating for them, as we didn't want them crawling all over the ground- so they were limited to a blanket- or the pack n plays! A crawler is definitely not the ideal camper!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We had some great meals, card games, walks and fun in the water! The girls LOVED smoores- they were amazing! They also enjoyed the sparklers and roasting marshmallows.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was really surprised at how well the kids went to sleep- both nights Lily went into the tent on her own when she was tired, and she fell right asleep! She did have a few nightmares and a leaky air mattress- so she slept with us both nights once we came into the tent. Charlie fell asleep with his last bottle each night and slept almost 6hrs straight! Our mornings were early due to the light!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I generally try to be a relaxed mom... but in some cases I just can't... camping would be one of those cases! I was so nervous about poison ivy (there were warning signs), the camp fire, bug bites, sparklers, the bbq's, wandering off, etc- I felt somewhat nervous all weekend :( We did have a few accidents through the weekend- Lily fell 3 times and scraped the same knee, and Charlie "fell" into some rocks when Lily was hugging him a bit tight and let go quickly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I am going to try really hard to post more often and more variety... I used to keep a cooking blog as well (you can find it <a href="http://sugarandspicewithstef.blogspot.com/">here</a>), but it was too much to do both blogs... so I think I will add any fun/tasty recipes to this blog now! Generally any recipes I post are quick/healthy kid friendly meals!</div><br />
<br />
Father's day was great this year- we spent some time out at Beke Lake, on my Grandparents property, with my Dad's family! Good times we had by all... Lily loves the water, boats, and hanging out on the dock. In the evening my in-laws came over and we had a nice BBQ. Everyone had a great day and we had a blast hanging out with our families!<br />
<br />

I promise to do a few posts this weekend... so much to catch up on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478230634820244074.post-60628294754378751632011-06-11T07:09:00.000-07:002011-07-11T13:47:20.865-07:009 Months!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Charlie is 9 months now! </div> UPDATE: Charlie's 9 month stats- 19.5lbs, 27 inches- he is around the 25th percentile for both :)<br />
He is growing so fast, doing so much, learning more and more by the hour! He still only has the 2 teeth, but he is chewing on everything- so I assume more are on the way!<br />
<br />
He claps, waves, says a few words, crawls everywhere, walks along furniture and walls and gets into everything! He is much more of a curious baby than Lily ever was... it keeps us very busy!<br />
<br />
He is starting to eat chunkier purees and finger foods- he loves puffs! He is also drinking more formula, starting to wean! He is a bit of a biter, and too distracted... so it is time for breastfeeding to come to an end... I am pretty sad about this :( He still breastfeeds once a day- early in the morning, and as long as he doesn't start to bite then, I will keep that up as long as he wants and I can!<br />
<br />
Charlie isn't much of a sleeper... or a very good one! He wakes very easily and he wakes up a lot... he also isn't easy to get to sleep- this makes for one very tired mama and dada.<br />
<br />
Charlie loves to play with his toys... some of his favourites are Lily's dollhouse, his basketball net, his cars and anything else that is Lily's!<br />
<br />
He loves to go for walks, play on the swings, and pretty much anything outside... he LOVES to be outdoors!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics of my munchkin!<br />

He was flashing me a HUGE smile and laugh when I noticed the tiny white bud!!

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We had a great morning at the park, we all finally feel normal and healthy again! Today was the first day we are all back in good health- and we are beyond thankful for that! While at the park Charlie had his first experience on the swing- He LOVED it, laughed so much- I loved it, and I can't wait for us to get our swingset up in the backyard!</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I don't have much of a post about Mother's day- it was a bit low key this year as Nelson wasn't feeling great in the morning and then I started to feel pretty brutal in the afternoon. On a positive note, Nelson and the kids got me some beautiful flowers and we had ordered me a necklace I wanted- I am a very lucky girl.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Leave us be please!!This has been a rough week!! We thought we were in the clear, and then Charlie got sick- vomiting, diarrhea, fever, whining, crying, etc- my poor baby!! He hasn't eaten any solids in 24hrs, but is still nursing regularly and drinking some pedialyte. His fever finally broke a few hours ago, but his diapers are still liquid :(<br />
<br />
Nelson also isn't feeling great tonight- he went to bed very early.<br />
<br />
Lily is super whiny, having nightmares, and having trouble falling asleep.<br />
<br />
With all of these things together, our stress levels are through the roof! We have decided to postpone our trip :( We were supposed to be going to Myrtle Beach on Tuesday, but now we are going to go away with the kids somewhere fun for a few day and then do a big trip at some point before January 2012. We are sad, but we feel much better about this- and look forward to going away somewhere when everyone is healthier and happier!!<br />
<br />
If anyone has any ideas on somewhere fun to go next week, localish, for a few days please let me know!!<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">On Friday Lily, Charlie and I loaded into my parents van along with my mom, dad, and sister Michele- we were headed to Ohio to attend my cousin's first communion. The trip down was great- the kids were amazing and we got there in decent time! We did a little Target shopping and went to my aunt and uncles for dinner and some "Just Dance 2"- we had a great time! Then we headed back to our hotel... Thats when everything went downhill.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I got the kids in their PJ's and was getting Lily settled in the bed when I heard a splat... she had thrown up all over the bed. I got her cleaned up and called housekeeping for some new sheets... we repeated this process a few times (I felt SO bad for housekeeping). Lily finally fell asleep, but woke up throwing up Saturday morning. My parents, sister and Charlie all went to the communion and Lily and I hung out and took it easy- she threw up a ton! By this point she was just so tired, whiney and wanted her own bed. Once the communion was over we decided it was best to head home a day early.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I can honestly say the ride home was the worst 7hrs ever.. Lily throwing up and Charlie screaming- it was awful :( When we finally got home Lily was exhausted and fell right asleep!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunday Lily was NOT herself- she just layed around all day, didn't even want to watch TV... she started throwing up a ton more in the late afternoon- I knew she must be getting dehydrated as she hadn't kept much down in 2 full days at this point. We packed up, dropped Charlie at my parents and went to the ER.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We sat in the ER for what seemed like forever- she threw up a bunch there. Finally we were seen and she was put on an IV to rehydrate her- she still kept throwing up. Finally at 2am they admitted my poor baby. All she wanted to do was sleep- but they still did Xrays and bloodwork- it honestly broke my heart :(</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because I am still breastfeeding Charlie I headed to my parents to get him and bring him home- and Nelson stayed with Lily. I was back at the hospital the next morning to be with her!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lily was amazing the whole stay- she was so well behaved and soo brave!! The fluids helped her a ton and she improved very quickly! We were told she would have to stay 2 nights- but she did so well that they let us go home after supper last night!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She is doing MUCH better today- back to her regular self... acting silly, playing with Charlie, and getting into everything!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am so glad she is doing better- I hope she continues to improve and the rest of us stay healthy as we are headed on our first big vacation next week- plane rides and the beach- here we come!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

He gets up on all fours and rocks, moves forward, and flops! Any day now he will just start moving and I am sure he will never stop! He wants to explore and check everything out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last week Charlie learned something new... he said "DA DA DA" and he hasn't stopped! He alternates between Mama and Dada- and we both LOVE it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The poor little man has also been teething forever but still has no teeth- I think he is close, but still nothing- I feel so bad for him!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Charlie also had another new experience last week- his first ER trip :( We sat in the ER for 6hrs and when we finally saw the doctor and Charlie was diagnosed with Bronchiolitis...

He rolls EVERYWHERE and has even started getting up on all 4's ready to crawl... he has started moving forward a little bit, one crawl forward and a flop! Lily encourages him all the time- it is adorable! I am going to weigh Charlie in the morning and I will update this with his weight! His 7 month picture will be taken mid-April as I am going to get the kids Easter pics taken then! When we were at his 6 month pictures he was super happy- the photographer asked if she could take some extra pictures of him for their Easter Ad! A picture of the ad is below!</div><br />
<br />
Charlie has decided he is not a fan of jarred baby foods... he will eat the jarred fruits no issue.. but gags on the veggies and the meats. So today while Lily was at school I set to work and made a bunch of baby food... Spinach, Peas and Sweet potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Apple and Chicken, Mangoes, and Mangoes and Strawberries. For supper I gave him the Sweet Potato, Apples and Chicken- he ate almost the whole little container!! Success! I guess I will have to keep this up!<br />
<br />
In other news around here:<br />
<br />
Nelson was laid off from his job out of nowhere last Wednesday- we were shocked to say the least! It actually turned out to be a very good thing- he strongly disliked where he was working and they were pretty slow! They say everything happens for a reason, and in this case it is true!! Nelson got a new job on Saturday... even better than before!! He loves the new place and it is a very busy shop!<br />
<br />
Lily is *almost* potty trained... only 1 accident all day today! She knows exactly what she should be doing- but doesn't want to stop playing long enough to use the toilet! We have tried so many reward/food/sticker systems... but in the end- when she is ready, she will be 100% trained!<br />
<br />
I have been busy at work trying to keep up my lent goals- no candy, chocolates, or fast food- and working out everyday- sometimes I do the Ab Circle and other days walks with the kids! I have kept up with everything so far- aside from a few missed workouts! This has helped me get to my pre-Charlie weight... just need to get to my pre- Lily and pre-fertility drugs weights!<br />
<br />
Last week Nelson and I had a small party to celebrate our 30th birthdays- it was really nice to spend the evening with our closest friends! We played a few games, had some drinks, and some laughs! There is a picture of the great cake below!<br />
<br />
We have a few trips coming up- Ohio at the end of the month for my little cousins First Communion (Nelson can't make it to this trip). And then we are going to Myrtle Beach with the kids in May- our first plane ride with the kids- any advice is much appreciated!<br />

<br />
Today was my personal favourite of his firsts... his first word!!! This afternoon Charlie said "MAMAMA"... Lily and I both heard him say it, and he repeated it dozens of times... I got it on video, voice note, and people heard him on the phone! I was beyond excited that I was his first word!! He is growing so fast!<br />
<br />
Last week was Charlie's first time in a pool, and his first swimming lesson! He enjoyed it, but had a much better time this week, seemed a bit more relaxed! He splashes a ton :)<br />

As you will see- Lily chose her own green outfit... she is pretty good at making sure things coordinate, lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For breakfast Lily had green yogurt and green applesauce.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--z3AmStBFjk/TZJgplnbfJI/AAAAAAAACzU/FTD67Ryy5v4/s1600/March+17+%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--z3AmStBFjk/TZJgplnbfJI/AAAAAAAACzU/FTD67Ryy5v4/s640/March+17+%25283%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then we baked some chocolate cupcakes filled with mint buttercream and topped with green vanilla buttercream, and green vanilla cupcakes filled with mint chocolate ganache and topped with milk chocolate buttercream- SO yummy! We sent them to my sister and cousins in London with my Mom and aunt! Lily was a great help... especially at cleaning the utencils.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
