Ian's first Father's Day!

Ian's favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, play the Houston Astros in October and we got him a ticket for Father's Day!! He gets to go with his Dad! Below is our fun way of giving him his gift. There are 9 tinker bell envelopes placed around the house, accompanied by a Cubs related item. And in each one is a specific detail about the game. We are so excited!!! Happy Father's Day, Ian! You are admired & adored!

uh, yuk

I had my first oops making dinner. I guess I'm still suffering from pregnancy mush brain. This burnt french bread was supposed to go with our spaghetti.

I had fed Kelsie & was nursing Karis while on the phone with Momma. The bread was in the oven baking & beeped when it was done. I checked it & decided that I wanted it a tad more crispy, so I set the oven to broil and didn't set the timer because I knew it would only be in for a "few moments"...

...15 minutes later, I wonder where that smell is coming from and why my environment is looking a bit hazy. I quickly hang up with Mom, set my child down, open the oven to see the smoke wafting toward the smoke detector. NO!! I grab the charcoaled slices of unedibleness and threw them outside just in time for the detector to notice the smoke and start screaming! Ahhhh! CHAOS! I opened all the windows, turned on the fans, and quieted the detector by waving a cookie sheet briskly in front of it. I then turned to attend to my startled, crying babies only to find them sleeping peacefully. My fiasco didn't phase them one bit. Amazing!

Moral of the story...french bread is MEAN and is not welcome in my home until it understands the phrase, "a TAD more crispy".
