Glorified Poop Catchers 2008-07-07 14:34:39 We had a super duper Fourth of July weekend. Lots of good food and fun all weekend long.The Hubby and I even managed to squeeze in a date night...which meant I had to befriend my hair dryer, and dust off the high heels. It was a big night in the Cook household. Of course the camera enjoyed the night on my kitchen counter.During the weekend if we weren't expanding our waist bands we were feeling 10 Read more:Catchers

What Goes Up Must Come Down 2008-07-04 08:44:24 Last night we decided to have Chinese Food for dinner. As I got all of the ingredients together (phones, chinesse menu and check), Cookie was playing. When the timer went off for dinner aka door bell rang, I looked over at Cookie to see her doing this... Then I was able to get this video...The only problem was she wasn't really sure how to get down...

Oh How The Times Have Changed 2008-06-26 09:35:51 Oh how the times are a changing'. As a Rookie Mom it is fun to reflect on how I was raised as a child. I too, sat in the window of the backseat, rode in the front seat (without a seat belt of course), played outside until the sun went down and yep, even tried to cut my own hair. Enjoy your trip down memory lane...at the end of it I have realized that it is okay to have a Rookie moment from time to Read more:Times
Just Call Me Martha 2008-06-26 08:28:33 This summer I was thinking of ways that I could let my creative juices flow while indoors. One weekend we hosted Cookie's GG and Papa Ken over for lunch and a day of swimming. In an effort to be a little heart healthy for GG, I thought it would be fun to get a little creative with fruit and skewers...Just call me Martha
. With one watermelon, a few skewers, a couple of melons and $20 dollars later
Fresh Food "Miracle" Feeder 2008-07-18 09:15:16 Come one come all...the teeth are breaking loose and they have our little Cookie all worked up. Cookie teeth are starting to come in like crazy and just like her Mom she wants it to happen quickly.Let me tell you, those little choppers are dangerous. Just like a little Jaws looking for anything she can feast on. Cookie has never been a fan of the pacifier which is great because I hear that in the

You Never Know Who You Will Meet Next 2008-08-22 10:31:59 Well, I made it home. Needless to say I ended up spending more time in the Detroit airport than in VT, but that is okay because eventually I got to come home to this precious girl!Tip of the day, if you are ever flying into Detroit...Wear your sneakers and don't worry about exercising that week. Once you get off the plane you are guarantee to run at least a mile to get to your next gate! Heels and

Airport for the next SIX...yes, SIX hours.Oh well, looks like I have will have plenty of time to catch up on a few phone calls and maybe do a little online shopping.
