i know i haven't posted anything in awhile. little tired here. last week was so very full of many things going on and blogging was the last thing on my list.
we spent the weekend celebrating DH's birthday. he requested a key lime pie instead of a traditional cake {or the brownie pyramid i made a few years back with three types of brownies}. i fervishly made the pie friday afternoon and finished it off with a the vanilla-rum whipped topping. viola! we have pie.
{pardon the yucky flash photo and yellowish results in the 2nd photo...}
okay. so, my daughter has a new "oddity" i have to talk about because it's really just very cute & funny.
i cooked her up some farfalle {bow-tie pasta} for lunch yesterday and after i prepared everything, mixed in some parm and set it down in front of her, she started "inspecting" it {i always love this move she makes...as if she needs a royal taste-tester to make sure the food isn't poisoned}. i went to go grab my lunch {of yogurt} and while we sat together i noticed that she only eats half of the bow-tie. what does she do with the other half? well, thankfully she did not throw it down on the floor in a fit of discontent. but, the other half just sits on her tray...the symbol of a little, rejected specimen from her meal. i even tried to persuade her to eat it...popped it on the fork to make it more exciting. no dice. the kiddo does NOT want the other half of that farfalle. the photo's a little blurry, but...you get the point...!
::sigh::
on a completely random note, i'm making it a point to read more current events. i don't know about you, but sometimes the only way i know about things going on in the world is the 5 minutes i spend listening to the morning news as i'm waking up in the morning, before i get my daughter...or through my husband who religiously reads the newspaper and online news. so, i thought this was interesting. and this. this is just unbelievably amazing. {read the 5th paragraph}. this was...different...
there...i've done some reading for monday...and even a little more.
it's a gorgeous day, so i'm headed off to run and work off some of that winter flab. ick.

Oh...the little bowtie pasta story had me laughing!
Half a pasta.
Heh.
Glad to hear at least someone's child doesn't throw their food on the floor!
I will have to take a photo of what Kole & the kitchen look like after he's done eating lunch.
He definitely earns his (affectionately-called) nickname of PigPen. :)
Amelia is a character, and very cute indeed!! At least she eats something other than PB&J, Bella's flavor of the week.... I mean month!
I myself would have chosen the brownie pyramid, anything chocolate gets my vote! xoJ
We don't watch the news in our house (too depressing I find) and we never read the paper. SO the only way I find out current events, is from my husband who listens to the radio on his morning commute! He filters out all the bad stuff for me, it's great!
vanilla rum topping?!! YUM!!
how funny about her eating the pasta...kids are so particular about their food! :P
i'm comforted by the fact that i'm not the only one who doesn't keep up with the world's happenings...hubby fills me in on what i need to know! ;)
At least your child eats HALF of the pasta, some times my DC will eat not NONE at all. Could she be so lucky not to love the number #1 carb? Now that I think about it, she doesn't eat bread either. But the girl is smart...she eats pizza!
:)
