I have apple dumplings in the oven for DrHug. The kitchen was so inviting for cooking that I messed it up again! Still working on the laundry.

On my way!

I know what you mean about having the kids try things on... OY!

My DH was wrapping the gifts from the characters. I was making the cards for on each one. I just wrote To: then Love: and attached a sticker of who it is from...they can't read anyway. Jake can ID his name and Eliza's name...so he will know whose is whose and who sent it.

Cute idea Brandi.

They have the silver glittery shoes for little girls at Target quite often... I'll look to see if they have them if you don't win.

Thanks. I will let you know Marielle.

Well, it's late, so I better get some sleep. That 6am alarm is harsh.

I also love the ice cream scoop!!!!

I got the microwave cooking pot. I never used it. For me that is the only thing I never used.

Now that is my favorite item and the one I use the most. I have the small one and it is great for cooking the veggies.

Why is so much tougher these days? I remember watching my nephews by myself overnight since I was 11 or 12 and they were babies. But I won't let my own 8 year old ride her bike around the block yet? Why are we so much more cautious, or paranoid, today? I ask myself this all the time...

I refuse to be as strict as my mother.

I love her dearly but she stifled me. I was a good kid. My parents were always always always worried something would happen. There is such a thing as being over protective. My parents were that.

My inlaws were the extreme opposite. Jason and I want to try hard to find the balance in the middle.

I would lie to my parents over really stupid stuff because they were so strict. I didn't want to lie, but they needed to know EVERYTHING. I had no privacy.

I am sure you realize that Jason and I are strict with our kids. But we leave lots of room for self expression.

I know it isn't easy raising an older kid. I just hope I can find that middle ground.

I have the small one too. Maybe I just don't know how to use it. Do you just stick in your veggies and add water and cook? Does it steam or boil them?

Angie, I am getting the apple peeler/corer/slicer. Should I get the stand?

I'm also getting the pitcher, cutting board, cookie, press, roasting pan, mixing bowls, etc. I am getting the knofe honing tool to sharpen the crappy ones I already have.

Joy, if you come on, what are the stone specials in February?

 

[klineyqueen]

I am spoiling my kids this Christmas. My DS wants 5 different engines (for Thomas). I already have 4 of them. I got one at AC moore for 50 percent off of one item. The other 3 I won on ebay. Now I am bidding on Spencer.

I don't know. It just cooks them.

My favorite Goo Goo Dolls song came onto my ipod. I must listen before I go to bed.
