DPP Tuesday.. BAKING!

I spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen today, as you can see... On the table you see... Cranberry-Balsamic Vinaigrette, $250 Cookies, Peanut Brittle, Chocolate-Almond Meringue, Whole Wheat Bread, Ginger Snaps, and Yogurt.. All made from scratch with nourishing ingredients of course! Whew!

Sunday/Monday DPP

Saturday, DPP

I felt that these photos really give the true story about what every day is like in the Roelfs household. All I did was watch them and take pictures.. They had no help from me... Enjoy!

DPP Friday (whooops!)

I didn't realize until just now that I never posted yesterday's picture... Here goes. :) I will post today's photo later.

DPP 12/9 and 12/10

I missed yesterday's post mainly because of "the storm of the century" (local news channel). Granted, we're only 9 years into this century, but hey, why not?! We only managed to venture outside for a few minutes due to the extremely cold weather. I learned that my toddler DOES NOT like the cold weather! When the wind blew he shrieked and said "Mommy, go inside now please!!" So of course, we did. :)

Earlier today I was changing Owen's diaper (who was very upset) and I asked William if he would talk to Owen to make him feel better. I kid you not, this is word for word what he said.. "Of course, Mommy!" He then walked over to his brother, kissed him on the head, and said "You're a great baby, Owen!" I don't know what we're doing, but we must be doing something right... :)

DPP 12/8 and the STORM OF THE CENTURY!

According to the weather channel, this is an "epic and extremely dangerous storm".. In case you don't know, I live in central Iowa.. Sunday morning there was not one speck of snow on the ground. By tomorrow we are expected to have between 10-18 inches.. The photo shows what we have so far. In other news, my 2 1/2 year old is THRILLED!

DPP 12/7

I love plants. I especially love the Wandering Jew my mom gave me. I have dropped this poor hanging plant at least a dozen times, forgot to water it enough times to kill any other type of plant, and it even was blown off my balcony in a fierce storm last summer. The other day I was looking at it and saw the sweetest, most delicate flower I have ever seen. I forgot to take a picture, and by the end of the day it was gone! I talked to my mom and she said that she had never seen one flower before. Today I was searching in vain to find another flower and AH HAH! I found one! I just had to post this picture..

DPP 12/6 Just Gotta Dance!

DPP 12/5 CHILI EXPLOSION!

Well, today I decided I would make a big ol' pot of chili and can a bunch of it for those lazy days when I don't want to cook.. Okay, so it was all going swimmingly until I decided to tip the pot up onto it's side to scoop out the last few cups.. That's when the chili hit the fan.. I slipped (thanks to my arm injury from yesterday) and spilled all over myself, stove, and floor. I have huge burns on my arm and another one on my tummy. Tear.. Thankfully, my loving hubby cleaned up the mess while I attended to my injuries. :)

DPP December 4/Only Me...

Well, If you know anything about me, you will know that I am EXTREMELY clumsy... Today I managed (don't ask me how) to whack the soft part of my elbow against the very corner of my handrail as I was running up the stairs to show Nate the packages that came in the mail.. Well, I hit it "just perfectly" according to the Dr.. That's right; I hit it SO HARD after 2 hours it was very red, swollen, and painful. I was tingling all the way up to my neck and down to my fingertips (still am). I went to the Dr. and had xrays done. Good news, I didn't chip a bone. Bad news, I hit my nerve so "perfectly" that I won't heal for 2-3 weeks. Yaaay me! *sigh* Only me! Oh well, it's not like I have two little kids to carry around all day long.. DOH! At least I can laugh about it! :)
