I forgot to take apicture...this is how everyone will know that I have been thinmking quilting for way to long and have not been taking pictures of my children and their actions...reactions.....and everything in between..I can't even see my scrapbooking table..but it has been calling to me lately....maybe soon.
Anyway, Clarissa is on a cooking streak right now....we have a few different kids' cookbooks and other "little" cookbooks..they have to be cute looking and little for her to go through them ( anything cute and little leaves my areas and end up in hers...ie: my embroidery scissors with a pink handle..yeah gone within hours of getting them?)
She has been trying a new recipe every couple of days...she wanted to try BLueberry Fancy from a slow cooker recipe box....it is listed under desserts ( i think it is really a breakfast recipe....but usually you don't slow cook breakfast) and so she made a list of all the ingrediants she needed at the store...we went shopping and then yesterday Rob and her started it while I was at work.
It was ready after dinner..we all were telling her what a great job she did ..it smelled really good and then we started eating it...it just tasted like french toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese...Rob decided he did not want to coninue eating it....he said he didn't really like it....I was so upset with him...he could have shoved it down as to not hurt Clarissa's feelings....so I gave him the look ( which by the way he didn't understand...that drives me even more crazy!)..then within two minutes Clarissa decides she doesn't like it either! Thank GOD! Then she wouldn't be crushed that her dad didn't like it. LOL. Thank God these things work themsleves out sometimes. The rest of us liked it...so I don't know?
She has also made a cake this week and also made "egg in a frame" for breakfast.
She is getting good at following directions and writing lists and remembering things...That warms my heart...
She was also at my work for several hours this week because the other kids are at OMNY....sewing and while she sews she humms...(which is adorable)...but she forgets she is with other people...so whiel she is talking to herself to work things out she sings everything..at one point she burped in between humming and singing..she sang excuse me to herself....So CUTE!
Jeri didn't make counselor this year at OMNY which was disapointing to her....it is a paid position but they coordinator thought she needed an extra year to mature and get more leadership skills. I agreed. Bryce was promoted to bike man ths year ( he fixes all the bikes) and Kathy (the coordinator) called and said she is very impressed with Both Jeri and Bryce this year...She thinks if there is an opening next year for counselors she will interview both of them...If Bryce will be going into his freshman year and that will be exciting because he will be pretty young...and Jeri will feel great that she stuck to it and made it through! Omny has been such a good experience for all of my kids. This last week Bryce played "the cat in the hood" a version of the Cat in the hat...improvised to teach the kids lessons..Bryce loves center stage and he does well with these sorts of things.
Coel and Preston are at landons this last week and next..Bryce is missing time with Landon for OMNY. Carl is a very caring older brother he comes in and picks up Clarissa everyday after OMNY to walk her home..She would rather have me drive them..Carl always wants to walk..so I try to break it up for them..so it seems fair...But I can't imagine him loving to listen to her complain the whole way home..but I think he is probably used to her whining. LOL
Well I should get something done....I hope you all have a great Sunday!
