Friday Quick Takes

Let's tackle these Quick takes quickly.

1  Christian is napping.  Emilia is sitting at the table eating ranch (with the smallest carrot ever) staring out the window waiting for Michael to come home.  She is also telling me that all she has are "plain ole lips" and she needs lipschtick.  Lucy is doing a puzzle in the playroom.  I'm making this (but baking them)- Michael's favorite recipe and the simple sauce is crazygood.

2.  Speaking of recipes.  Here's what else is on the weekend menu.  Minner Cheese sandwiches with Cape Cod chips.  Summer is here.

3.   Oh, here's one more.  The kids loved them, but I tasted them and thought they were bland.  They had 2 or 3 muffins for three mornings in a row.  Maybe it was the dunking in the milk part.  Also, super easy breakfast clean up. I used chia seeds instead of flax. 

4. Lucy lost a tooth.  The tooth fairy put hodge podge glue with glitter on a dollar bill with a couple of coins and the little girl was happy! I never thought this part of being a mother would be so fun. 

5. Can I voice my frustration on bathing suits?  I love Target bathing suits, especially for the girls.  Lucy has out grown the toddler department and no longer can squeeze her buns into 5T.  Pickins are slim and this won't cut it.

6. Goals this summer: read to the chiles, pray more, sew, run, eat fresh, swimming, lots and lots of swimming.  Our swim lessons weren't so great a few weeks ago.  At one point I motioned to the instructor to just pick her up and throw her across the pool.  I'm pretty sure he thought I was kidding.

7. I say dang or dang-it quite often.  Now the little bubster is saying it quite often.  It just doesn't sound right.  This week all three were saying "What the heck".  So, I told them we need to stop saying those phrases and go back to our 1980s phrases of "Oh rats" or "For Pete's Sake".  Emilia's response was, "Mommy, what the heck?"

Excited to celebrate Father's Day with my main squeeze...
