Logan Time

*Day 350*

Matt's gone.  Logan and mom time included homework, a trip to Macey's, dinner and video games.  Something for everyone.

What's For Dinner?

*Day 322*

It was Logan's turn to make dinner tonight.  Well, we got celery in our bountiful basket last time.  Logan was excited to see it.  He immediately talked about making soup.  In the past we've used our celery to make homemade chicken noodle soup or Greek lemon soup.  I told him we could make soup.  He wanted me to make Greek lemon soup, but he talked about making chicken noodle soup on his night.  So, tonight I asked him if he wanted to make chicken noodle soup for dinner.  He said he did.  So, I got chicken cooking and had him start making homemade noodles.  Then we were getting the veggies out and chopping them up.  Then Logan says, "I just wanted the kind from the can."  Well, that would have given me the whole night off.  He could have handled that by himself.  Sometimes it good to find out exactly what your kids mean when they say something or ask a question.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that I gave him chicken noodle soup from a can for lunch.  He thought it was awesome.  I made his day by buying some at Macey's when it was on sale.  I got a big hug from him when I got home and showed him what I bought.  I thought it was funny that he liked it so much.  But, he admitted that the soup we made tonight was better than the canned kind.  He still wants to eat that canned soup though.  I'll probably save it one of my dinner nights when I really don't feel like cooking.

Got Milk?

*Day 290*

Like good parents, we like to tease our son.  He's learning to take it pretty good (most of the time).  Unfortunately, he is also learning (from his parents) to give it.  There are a few things in our family that we like to tease each other about repeatedly.  Some of our favorite family memories.  Today I am going to tell you about our favorite milk mishaps. 

When me and Matt were first married we rarely ate dinner at the table.  We would usually eat on the couch watching TV.  One night Matt walked in and set his glass of milk down on the top of the couch.  Then he forgot about it.  He got up when he was finished eating and took care of his dishes.  When he sat back down on the couch, his milk fell and spilled down his back.  But, he had forgotten about his milk, and didn't know what was on him.  He started wiggling and yelling, "Get it off me, get it off me."  I saw what it was that fell on him, so it made me laugh.  And I tried to tell him what it was.  But, to this day, we will still tease Matt by yelling about something, "Get it off me!"

The next milk mishap is one that Matt likes to remind Logan about because it happened to Logan.  We were sitting down to eat dinner.  Now in our family, I forget about drinks until the end of dinner, so a drink a the beginning of the meal is a rare thing.  Anyway, this night, for some reason I got the milk out at the beginning of dinner.  I filled up Logan's cup.  I guess he didn't notice that I had put milk in his cup.  Matt was teasing him about his food.  And asked him if wanted it in his milk.  Then Matt pretended to put the food into his cup.  Logan, not wanting food in his cup, grabbed his cup away from Matt.  And threw his milk right in his face.  He was a little a surprised that there was milk there.  And I yelled, "Get it off, get it off!"  We had to laugh or Logan would cry.

Stay tuned to Matt's blog if you want to hear about dumb things that I've done.  I'm sure he's going to want to get  revenge.
