Midweek Randoms

Reid is a mess. A mess that loves peas. He gets more and more ornery every day so supper time is always interesting. ;) 

Exhibit A

 Cue start of ornery grin

Last week we got a Bountiful basket but I still had a cabbage from the time before, so I threw together some bierocks. I just used canned biscuits since I was short on time but they were still pretty good.

We read this adorable book to Reid a couple times this past week. Perfect for the season. There's several "Bear" books so we'll have to add to our collection.

One of the add-on options for the baskets this week was a box of big honey crisp apples. I didn't buy it but my mom was kind enough to share some of hers. =)

We also got grapes (I tried to take a picture of what I did with the goods from the basket).

Reid has his first little birthday celebration at daycare this week. I took treats (graham cracker and frosting sandwiches...fancy, huh? ha!) I also took little scooby snack graham cracker sticks to dip in frosting. I thought they might be easier for the littlest kids but turns out they were pretty hard. Anyway, they sang happy birthday to him and I'm certain he had a good time. =)

Tuesday night, Sky came over to stay the night. We had roast, went on a kool-aid run =) and made brownies. She played video games on her computer and talked to her boyfriend, and we chatted and had a good time. I told my SIL that I'm way too young to have a teenager and way too old for slumber parties with one. ha!

She really is a cool kid and I'm glad she feels at home with us.

Wednesday, we got up and hung out for a while before I took her home. Then, I went out to help my grandma with some cleaning and baking. That evening, I made guacamole from the guac pack I got with my basket. I didn't have enough good tomatoes so it was a little lacking in that department. It was also a little too oniony but overall it was ok.

Then Val came over to help make favor bags for Reid's party (and watch Criminal Minds). We had fun and I was even able to sneak this picture of Reid sleeping. So sweet and I'm holding on tight to these next two days of baby-ness.

Today I'm making sweet potato casserole then we're headed to my grandma's for lunch then Terese's for lunch #2. Wish my belly luck. =) Happy Thanksgiving!!!
