All in a day for me!

Well not a lot of news to share as of lately.  I have been still doing my cooking thing just about everyday, trying new things and seeing what I like and knowing what to do different the next go arounds.  Yesterday my cousin posted a chocolate Banana bread.  Sure was tasty.  After slicing a piece I realized what it needed.  Next time ill put some walnuts in it!

I am trying to be better at providing my Hailey girl some "homework" everyday this week.  I have printed out a bunch of worksheets for her.  I need to order her a work book. She loves her homework.  

Clara had her 1 year check up this week (yes a whole month later lol)  She is 19lb and 30 inches.  She took her shots like a champ just making her faces at the lady.  She gets her toughness from her daddy and her expressions from me.  She is in a curious stage.  Every once in awhile you will see her go look at the baby twins.  As we speak she is bend over Gemma, she took Gemma's passy out and is now trying to put it back in her mouth. She knows a few more words now.  She says "Ryu" "Hailey" "ew" "look" "no" "daddy" "dada" "mama" I am sure ill remember a few more later after posting this..

I am ready to start up my craftness, sewing projects for Christmas gifts.  Although with what I have in mind I need some materials that I do not have!

Besides the baking craftiness I have a love for books.  I finished another one of my books last night.  It brought me to my very first books.  I remember having a love for books from when I was younger.  I loved the Beverly Clearly books and The American Girl series.  (to my sister I suggest you maybe get these books for Allison since she is an American girl fan, it may get her to love to read!  I think it would be her age level read (I think I was her age when I read them))I remember my Aunt feed my love for these books all the way up til she passed and a few of my trips to Barns and Nobles were with my other Auntie who still feeds my love for books.  But now as an Adult.  I have to tell you my all time favorite books.  I will never hesitate to tell anyone what it is.  If I could force you to read this series I would!  I have to tell you that I would never have read these series if it had not been for my sister Stacey.  Infact she has been the one to introduce a few great books.  DUm DuMm dum ok the book is Called Emeralds and Espionage by Lynn Gardner. In fact I think Ill just re-read this next for the millionth time!
