Muffins Please!


When we were up in Faro about 2 weeks ago my mother-in-law decided that she was going to make some blueberry bran muffins. And they were sooome tasty. I have been hearing from Micheal mom can Nana come to our house to make some muffins for me. So I told mike that when I needed to go to the grocery store this week that I would buy the makings to make him some muffins. So went to the store and bought all the stuff for it, phoned my mother in law for the recipe, and started to make some muffins. Holy man I should have bought another muffin tin. This recipe made five and a half dozen muffins. I was making muffins for close to 3 hours. But Mike was so excited making them with me. He helped stir all the dry ingredients and puffed flour all over him...then in went the wet ingredients and got a lot of that over himself as well. Needless to say off to the bath tub he went. He had a great time waiting for the muffins to come out of the oven and put the muffin cups in the pan. He was even more excited that the muffin cups were "LIGHTNING MCQUEEN" and " MICKEY MOUSE". He had an even better time eating the muffins as soon as they came out of the oven. Liam tugged on me saying please, please, more, more...like I don't feed these poor little monkeys. So my muffins are a hit and we all have loooooots of eating to do. Thanks Nana for a great recipe...kept the boys well entertained for 3 hours...haha!

The great escape!


It has now been a week since my husband left for Dawson City for work. I have been home with my two wonderful little boys...but by the end of the first week my house is starting to look like a cage and start to feel like I can't escape the madness of my life with two VERY BUSY LITTLE BOYS. Needless to say I think I do very well for the amount of time I am alone with them. Sometimes I just feel like I need to escape the madness. Have some me time. Me time tends to happen, if I have an appt when Steve is gone...woo hoo...haha! So about a week ago a great friend of mine invited for me to come out with her for a few hours to have some food and drinks and just relax with out having to worry about my two little men. So at 8 o'clock last night I escaped my house and went out for a few hours with some great people. Wow, it was so nice! Just to worry about me for a few hours. Every mother needs me time...and I know a lot of women that just don't get that kinda time. I am lucky to have a husband that lets me get out and do things when he is home, and he feels terrible when I phone crying saying that I am going mad. He always says that when gets home I can go out and do what ever I want for how ever long I want...So would me leaving to Hawaii for a week be ok...hmm prob not. Oh well worth a thought...haha! But thanks again Amy for inviting me out and Thanks to a wonderful girl for coming over to watch the kids while i escaped the wild monkey cage..haha!
