Monkey Munch

Whoa!....has it really been since March! When I got on here today and saw my old background I realized just how long it had been....way too long!
I've really missed blogging, now that things have settled a bit, maybe I can blog much more routinely.
I really enjoy it...so nice having a place to journal my thoughts and the record the happenings of my family!
As you may have guessed from the title, my little Monkeys and I made monkey munch for a new snack today! It is sooo yummy! Harrison requested this for both Lunch and dinner, but of course he had to eat his meal first.
I remember when in school, some of the other kids would bring this...I'm pretty sure they called it "trash"?, but I could never eat it because it was made with Peanut Butter. Well I have since discovered Soy Nut Butter and I'm able to replace PB with SNB in any recipe. We have all enjoyed the Monkey Munch today!
Look for a new post soon! (and hopefully I can learn from Bob how to add pics)!

LPM Siesta Memory Verse #5

As some of you may know, In January I decided to join several of the fellow "siestas" in a memory verse challenge for 2009! It has been amazing already!



For Verse #5, I'm memorizing Hebrews10:35-36 NIV

"So do not throw away your confidence:it will be richly rewarded, you need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

I'm excited to see how the Lord allows this verse to help me grow in him and the confidence that only he can give. Having verse to wield the sword of scripture has already been so beneficial this year! It's not to late to start...just pick a verse on the 1st and 15th of each month and commit it to memory!

Bella Bottoms

Just found an adorable new baby product...Bella Bottoms. They are reusable cloth diapers, but not the old school kind ...no diaper pins needed! I found a giveaway for them on a blog... http://yestheyareallmine.wordpress.com
Who knows, maybe Bob's luck of winning things will happen to me! I'll keep you posted...pun intended!

More Playdough Pics

I'm still learning how to post pics on my blog so these are a few that didn't get included in the original playdough post!

The Homemade Playdough

Recipe for the Popcorn

Well I meant to put this at the bottom of the previous post...but here it is for those who want to try my new marvelous discovery!



1/3 cup popcorn kernels

Brown paper lunch bag

2-3 tablespoons of melted butter (cooking oil works too)

Salt



Mix kernels, butter and salt together.Pour kernels into a small paper bag (standard lunch size is fine) and fold the top of the bag over three times tightly to close (each fold should be 1/2 inch deep; remember the kernels need room to pop).Place bag in microwave on carousel.Cook on high 2-3 minutes, or until the pops are 5 seconds apart!



For an extra special treat...add some M&M's...(another one of my new favs)

This is pennies compared to the already made Microwave popcorn and tastes better too!
Enjoy!

The Small Things in Life

Okay, so I've discovered a wonderful new snack, that I must share...HOMEMADE MICROWAVE POPCORN...and who knows maybe I'm the last to know about this, but just incase I'm not I wanted to share!

I've enjoyed this the past two days during "rest time" ...the boys do much better if I don't say nap time!

We found out today that "the Fletcher Funk", has a diagnosis...we all have RSV! Please be in prayer for the children, the boys seem to be feeling some better, but lil Chloe Laine is pitiful! Today and tomorrow should be the peak days for her symptoms so hopefully we will see improvement soon!

Earlier today we had group therapy...respiratory therapy that it is...I had us all on Breathing Tx's...per Dr's orders of course!

Well the timer just went off on the microwave...yep your right my popcorn is ready!
