Ruby's attempt at a silly smile.
Abby is at the stage that I can always get a smile out of her.
My first shot at making bread.
We had a really good weekend... nothing too exciting. Anthony and I actually went to dinner last night. Before we had Abby, we went out every Tuesday night. Now we go maybe once a month. We really do need to try to do more together to stay connected, but I'm sure just like everyone else with kids, time just flies by and days just roll into more days. Every night you fall into bed and wake up the next day and it all blends together.
Kim and I tried a new park on Sunday in Belmont shores. I still think nothing beats Del Valle. It was nice to be in a different environment, but taking the kids to the porta-potty was not fun.
On a final note... am I the only one that is fed up with the price of food these days??? I used to spend $100 and leave with an overflowing cart... now I spend $100 and leave with only the essentials: milk, eggs, bread, champagne, and o.j.:))))). Seriously though, I buy Orowheat whole grain bread and it used to be $2.79, now it is $4.69!!! WTH!!! So, now I am going to start making my own bread. Yesterday I made "Country White" and I must say that is pretty good. My house smelled like a bakery and Ruby thought it was the most exciting activity. Now I am trying to talk my parents (who live next door) into buying chickens so I don't have to pay for eggs. We had them growing up and so I told my dad I would buy him a couple of "girls" and he can keep them in his backyard. Anthony thinks the whole thing is funny and asked me last night if I was going to get a cow next. I just might: we go through 6 to 8 gallons a week at a rate of $6.29 for two gallons!!!!!

every single thing now is so expensive....it really isn't fair.
oh and to respond to your comment...i do the time outs by her age and everything and she still smacks me in the face after them. time outs use to work like a charm a few months ago but now not so much. but i'm hanging in there and today was a better day..so far :)
Can you make bread, milk, eggs, etc... for me too????
I'm with Kim... I would like to place my order for milk, eggs and bread as well. How you do things like that never ceases to amaze me!
Wow, yummy! I am impressed!!
I love your essentials from the grocery store. I buy the store brand bread that is only $1. It's probably not the best but when a loaf is $4 that adds up when your buying a couple of loaves at a ttime. The bread you made sure looks good.
My sister-in-law has 6 chickens and she loves getting fresh eggs from them every morning. I hope you can talk your parents into that one.
Let me know if you do. I'll come get my eggs, bread, and milk at your house!

the trick is whether you can make sandwiches from the bread or your family eats the entire load in a matter of minutes!
