oh, my lordy, what a sweet little girl

aubree just continues to melt my heart!

as i type she is fast asleep on the couch with baby bro.

just as she was about to fall asleep, she whispered..."mommy, i think i need to cough,

im afraid it will wake up my brother"

seriously, who does that???

im his mom and im sure i have never held in a cough sneeze or anything in fear of disturbing him.

i hope they always care for one another this much!

for the love of pete...

sick day pizza

aubree has been sick today

...well actually we all have.

she started doing "that thing" at about 6 am

then i started...

then griffin started...

ekh!!

she finally got an appetite at 5 o'clock..

what does she ask for???

~~~~~~~

pizza?!?!

~~~~~~~~~~

now, i know pizza isn't a sick person food but who am i to deny her the only thing that sounds good to her poor little taste buds?

so i rummaged through the pantry and came up with some ingredients and this is what i threw together.

alyse's sick day pizza (cute huh?)

grease pizza pan

use one can of refrigerated pizza dough spread it on pan to desired thickness

spread about 1/2 cup pasta sauce from the jar on to uncooked crust

sprinkle with oregano, crushed red pepper, salt

i didn't have pepperoni so i thinly sliced some smoked sausage spread on crust

along with chopped green pepper and onion

cover, and i mean, cover, in cheese

bake at 425 for 10-12 minutes!! yum.

lets just hope she keeps it down!!!

Oh sweet little boys...

Ok, I love love love my Aubree

but

there is something about a little boy...

OH! They are so sweet :)

I have the pleasure of watching Mr.Silas today and let me just tell you---he is a doll!

I mean really, 3 kids in the house and I am sitting here blogging....

now,

Aubree may or may not be wrapped around his little finger

and following him around like a little puppy but hey. whatever works!

Thank you, April, for letting us play with this sweet angel.

Its here!!

Ok.

I gave in.
