Reckless driver!

Craziness! We took them together for their check-ups. Corinne is always the little princess. She did whatever the doctor asked with a twinkle in her eye. Mason was not so kind. He screamed at the doctor and looked pretty untrusting of the whole experience. Thank goodness neither was due for shots. Both are doing above average in the height/weight department and in their physical/mental skills. We are very blessed indeed!

We had two days of summer mixed into our early spring weather. The kids played outside the entire first day and went to the zoo with their babysitter the second day. It was wonderful! We’ll have to break out the tricycle soon to see how Mason does. Corinne still needs some work on it before she graduates to a two-wheeler with training wheels.

I give you: Microwave Potato Chips.

I saw a link to these on a food blog and decided to give them a try. Surprisingly, they actually taste really good. We’ve made them a couple times now, and while they don’t taste exactly like Lays potato chips, they’re pretty darn close. I recommend giving them a try. We cut a piece of parchment paper and put it on the rotating plate in our microwave and nuke them for about 4-5 minutes, just till they start browning in the middle. It takes a little time to make a decent size batch, but they’re worth it. Just make sure you don’t let them get too dark, or they taste bitter. And make sure you season them before you cook them.

Seriously, give them a try.

I have a bunch now that I can’t wait to share, but I thought I’d post one with sentimental value. If the title of the post doesn’t ring a bell, I’m sure the cute little face will:

(VotW, too) http://tonyandgreta.com/2006/08/16/update-coming-votw-too/ http://tonyandgreta.com/2006/08/16/update-coming-votw-too/#comments Thu, 17 Aug 2006 03:23:11 +0000 Tony http://tonyandgreta.com/2006/08/16/update-coming-votw-too/ I promise an update will be coming, along with loads of pictures from all our summer fun. We’ve been pretty busy, but as August winds down we’ll hopefully have more time to update here on a regular basis. Then once the football season starts, you’ll know where to find me!

Anyway, it’s late so I’ll leave you with this week’s YouTube video: The only man, in the world that can support himself on one finger. It’s quite impressive. Have a look:

This is another news “report”, with the reporter participating in some grape-stomping. I laugh myself sick everytime I see it. The hilarity starts around the 0:50 mark.

That means, in the time it takes…” If you’ve ever watched Rachel Ray’s show on the Food Network, you’ll know that’s word-for-word the intro. She would say this at random times for weeks.

Last week, while she was saying her night prayers she was thankful that she could watch “Rachel Ray and Sandra Lee.”

Greta mentioned the other day that Corinne has been putting on a cooking show for no one in particular in the toy room. We hope to get it on video eventually.

Finally, today at church, Corinne apparently made “lunch” for everyone in nursery. From what we heard, she laid out quite the spread.

Maybe it’s time we cut back a little on the Food Network.
