Peter & I, being the AWESOME parents that we are, were trying to teach Orion to stick his tounge out. He just wasn't feeling it but we got a really great laugh out of it.

Today more than any other day...
I really need and want to get a few things done but am finding it very challenging! Please forgive my frustration as I am in tears just writing this. I am hoping that it will help!
Orion got up an hour earlier then usual. My usual time to work on Wild Berry stuff had to be put on the back burner for a few.
I put him in his chair, ask him if he wants a "nana".
He said "NO"!
WHAT!!!! My kid said no, he never says "NO" to Bananas!
He says "Pop Tat".
Fine, pop tart it is.
I sat back down at the computer hoping to work on WB but not yet! Orion probably wasn't 2 bites into his pop tart when he starts crying and wouldn't stop crying until I gave him a hug.
He is such a sensitive little boy!
I can't even have a quite moment in the bathroom! Shame on my for not closing the door all the way, but I didn't think Orion would notice me being gone for just a moment BUT he did!
The bathroom door slams open and he is crying "MOMMA, MOMMA".
He spies his toothbrush and looks at me.
I tell him he can have it, but then starts crying when he notices there is not toothpaste on it!
UGH!
So here it is noon and the only thing I have to show for my day is a shower for me, breakfast for Orion, 3 emails, 2 phone calls and a semi dried blankie. I hope this afternoon is better!
Maybe I should just give up and pull out yummy Bon Bons, sit on the couch and watch Soap Operas all day!

My "master" todo list is forever growing. Just when I scratch 1 off, I swear 5 more are being added. Everyday I pull at 1 item to work on. Since it's just me and Orion I decided that I would start on his room which houses all my scrapbooking & crafting supplies.
REALLY BIG TASK!
I really need to clean up my tables, find a place for everything and even purge out old supplies. I want Orion to have a room not just a crib in mommy's craft room. I just don't think it's gonna happen today! I can't even walk down the hallway without Orion right at my heels. I did try though, but Orion's not cooperating so I called it quits! I am going to try again later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Orion normally doesn't have to have his blankie, but today he does! He's looked in every single room for it! I had to explain that his blankie is taking a bath. He understood that but now every time I turn around he is banging on the laundry room door!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every time I've sat at my computer today Orion is right at my side. Crying, pulling papers off my table, putting his toys all over me, the computer or the table. Don't think that I don't play with him cause I do and I am, but just when he seems content I try to slip away and get a few things done. You should see our living room right now! Books, trains, cars, puzzles and Tupperware containers are everywhere!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem...
I am addicted to this stuff...
Which is so appropriately name "Addiction".
I made it for the 4th of July weekend. I put my own little twist on it by adding Red & Blue M&M's, Red & Blue Star Sprinkles & Red, White & Blue Jimmies.
You know how I told you I was on a coconut kick...this stuff is packed full of it!
I am feeling very generous so I'll share the recipe with you!
Addiction
1 (10 oz.) box Golden Grahams cereal
1 (10 oz.) Rice or Corn Chex
4 c. coconut
3 tbsp. butter
2 c. corn syrup
2 c. sugar
3 c. Almonds (sliced or whole)
Mix Golden Grahams, Chex, coconut & almonds in a large bowl. In a large saucepan, mix butter, corn syrup, & sugar. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes.Pour over cereal mixture & stir well. Put on cookie sheets sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. When cool, break apart & eat.
{Can substitute any nut for almonds, my personal fave if cashews}
This recipe was gifted to me by my cousin Emilie. You've created a CRAZY LADY!!!
