Anna got some new shoes. Loves them. She searched high and low for this hat I think we bought over a year ago because it would 'match perfectly with my new sneaker shoes.' She loves to pick out her clothes and the clothes that everyone one else should be wearing too.
She also loves to help me in the kitchen. She loves to help me make dinner, but really loves to help me bake. I; however, don't like when she helps me bake because most everything baked has eggs in it and she usually gets all depressed when I add them and demands that I leave them out. I tell her that they recipe tells me I have to put them in. To which she usually replies, 'When I get bigger can I eat eggs?' Man I hope she can. The nut allergy is fine, the egg one totally blows. Eggs are in everything!
Evan is super huge and easy going - not much has changed there. He has been eating solids for a while now, but not really enjoying them (have you smelled peas? I don't blame him!) But he had fruit for the first time the other day (I have given him a little mixed in his oatmeal before, but not just fruit) and he will wait for the next bite with his mouth wide open - it is pretty funny. He loves to dance to music or my singing (so hilarious. Both the dancing and my singing, I suppose) He still has no interest in crawling or moving at all for that matter. He loves Anna more than anyone and is always looking for her when she is not around. His face lights up when he sees her and it makes me so happy. I just don't understand it though...while she has gotten nicer to him she still knocks him over occasionally to get my attention. Love her.
Ross has been making yummy Mexican food from his new cookbook - which I thoroughly enjoy.
And uses his deep fat fryer at every chance he can get - which I don't so thoroughly enjoy. Ugh. The smell of hot oil sticks to you and it reaks. Not to mention he deep fat fried pizza. PIZZA, people! Sick. But I forgave him when he make the Krsipy Kreme copycat donuts. Yum!
And apparently when I am at Young Womens, this is how he entertains both himself and Anna.
Speaking of Young Women's, for this weeks activity we exchanged Valentines. I made these sugar cookie's for each of the girls (idea found here). And we will just say that it was quite the learning experience. I now have a much better idea of what consistency I need to make the frosting to both glaze and pipe. Oh well. Once they were all packaged up they looked fine. Minus the fact that I was using an Easter basket to deliver them. Meh.
