I can see it... on the verge of December

Wow! tomorrow is december, seems like we just finished december, but that was a year ago now. I remember it because I spent all of December, January and most of February contracting and waiting for MJ to show up!

This is this year? yesterday I tried to get my act together and start getting our Christmas pictures ready but well seems that MJ didnt' want to look at the camera? I'll try again this afternoon with TJ and AJ and try to get them all together. I have some red fabric here somewhere, have ot dig that up and dress boys in kyooty clothes. :) the kyooter the better for family brag power! I do love the way his toes look so excited in this picture "mom I got it! I can finally touch the sparkly stuff! wait your not taking it away SCORE!" then of course he's on the verge of eating it so it was a VERY fast shot.

Today's goal get on my stepper for 20minutes (must lose 30lbs of me so I can quit giving Weight watchers money, and get back to my lifetime status), get the boys to all smile at the camera at the same time and bake some gingerbread men without eating them! I'm so bad for binging on the sweets and treats.

Coffee made, breakfasts to be eaten and off we go, November I'm going to give you my best for the last day of the money and only 15hours to December ACK! must start shopping too.

November is here!!!! Wow this year is totally flying by,
TJ is getting older and can now ride a 2wheeler, well he can ride it downhill, he still has to work on his leg strength so he can drive it the return trip up the driveway.
AJ is 4 now! I can't believe it, I made him a Pirate cake for his b-day but he decided he really wanted a wiggles theme like the year before, so my quick trick was to "stick" the candle from last year on the side of the boat and tell him it was "Captain Feathersword's ship" Bang happy 4yrold. See Octobers Cake to the left, or other right if your a computer looking at me?
Oh the tantrums that a 4yrold can pull, this wasn't in the manuel, oh wait there is no manuel! I must go and add this to my manuel before I forget for MJ
MJ is now 8months old and standing everywhere, the world is meant for standing mom didn't you know this? standing can be done in the middle of the hardwood floor if there is a table a chair a coffee table, or any hard item to knock bottom jaws on on the way down but the "plop" when purposely falling is the bestest fun ever! still no teeth, but the bumps are there, just the wait now, I'm sure I'll notice them before I see them. :)
I guess that's all the news for now, on to the task of being momKyooty

Brushing off my Fall recipes

Today for the first time ever I made homemade Mac and Cheese, I'm surprised I've never done this before, it was soooo easy and the boys ate it, well 2/3 boys ate it since MJ doesn't eat solids yet.
1tbsp butter/margerine
1tbsp flour
1cup milk,

2 cups grated cheese
3 cups Cooked noodles,

Melt butter, add flour, mix in milk slowly, throw in cheese, dump cooked mac in casserole dish, mix with cheese stuffs, throw in oven on 350 until starts to get brown.
done and done.
I see clean plates, that makes me feel like they appreciate my efforts to cook, DJ *(hubbie) can't eat it though due to his milk intorlance so the boys have it all to themselves.
I used a 9X9 Glass Casserole, so let me see 3 +1+2+24+12= comes to 42 points for the whole casserole if anyoen is counting out there. devide in to say 6 parts? 7points each. YAY I guess I could make salad or throw some ham in there too if I want to up the ante...

Tomorrow is Chicken soup in the crock, we'll see how the boys like that item that doesn't come out of a can?

Rain Rain go away

I can't believe I'm saying that, but we've had a beautiful week here and of course the Holiday is the day that it rains!! hubbie is painting the new room in the basement and it's starting to look nice, the first coat look just like blue over white but now with the 3rd coat almost finished you finally can't see the white or where the paint roller hit the wall or the edges that maybe darker then the rest.
The boys are stuck in TV mode today, the rain isn't helping, we may end up renting a movie just for a change or go for a rainy day drive might be an option. We can't get over heated in a car while it's raining. hmmmmm? Maybe they could make little lists or pictures of things they see today, that would keep them from climbing the walls or flooding the basement. I'm learning lately now to keep them busy, I'm not much for playing with my kids, I do miss the Me time, but maybe after 9pm?

The cake, I know it's a late pic but...

this is the cake sitting on a upside down cookie sheet with foil. My hubbie evne found fish for the water, TJ wanted a boat so I made a boat, he was 6 this month, time sure flies,

Another place for me

Just getting started here, I'm a mom to 3 boys, TJ(6), AJ(3) and MJ(5month) so time is limited but I will try my best to keep track of their lives and memories.
