lets go with no.2

i was checking my gmail today and saw i had a nice little comment from a mrs janzen telling me she missed my blog, awww, thanks for that, so time for an update.

lets see....
i gotta say, i love being a mom of 2 kids, it's great, sure it's busy but it's really fun watching them interact with each other and to see claire smiling at her brother or watching andy try to make her laugh. i definately am excited for things in the future when they can really play together and be buddies. and also for all the fun family things we can and will do, not to mention the things dave and i will be able to do once we can leave them for a hot winter holiday - holla! hopefully next winter, cause this -38 in march SUCKS

i'm obessed with several things these days...

blueberries - fresh or frozen, on yogurt, with homemade granola or muffins which leads to the next on the list...

baking - muffins, cookies, biscuits, waffles, more cookies, mostly cookies, i also have been 'tweaking' recipes to see how different but the same i can make them, less sugar - more fibre, no oil - sneaking in pured squash for oils, adding ground flax. definately not as healthy as some folks - cough - alison - cough cough- i don't know what started it but it all seemed to coincide with the hangover of christmas baking. really did i really need more baking after christmas, not really....

buttery microwave popcorn - i blame regan for always having yummy popcorn at her house, but she claims she switched to airpopped now, i'll believe it when i see it

houses - looking at new ones, old ones, floor plans, what i like, what i don't. one day we will have a next house, right now we don't and i wish we did but it's ok because i do still like our place. well except when theres no more counter space, and the living room is full and there isn't enough room at the dinner table for guests, and no ensuite off our room...lol one day

and lastly but definately not leastly lovely grammar

naps - i look forward to the time somewhere between 1-4 every day when stars align and both kids are napping that i too can lay on the couch and fall asleep with the sun on my face - which is key to having a next living room, must be south facing... even if i can only get 1/2 hr it just makes me happy to get that snooze in. it happens fairly often so i am blessed.

alright enough of that here's some cute pictures from our day

HA! Don't be fooled, when baking it is nothing short of a miracle if I find something that works and is healthy. Most the time the plain old full sugar/butter recipes are still the best! Although the pureed squash is a great idea and I will give it a try! (also a can of chickpeas in chocolate chip cookies is great and not even noticeable!) your little ones are SO cute!
