Cooking
Recently, I bought Donna Hay's Cook Kids Cook for Alex. He decided he wanted to try her recipe for Mac & Cheese.
With Matt's help, Alex made himself dinner!
Chop up the cheese.
Turn on the burner.
Carefully add the pasta to the water.
Dump in some cheese.
He was very good about both pouring the cream into the measuring cup, and then into the pot.
Time to stir...
stir...
stir...
And finally stir some more.
And here's what he got!
A simple meal, which he made himself. He was feeling rather proud.

Blog Party#14 is just two weeks away, and this month we're having a Kid's Party! Fun, cute, dainty, gross, wacky and whimsical...your appetizers and drinks are for the little ones. Tell a friend! Post your dishes no later than Thursday, 21 September...early is always good...and get your links to me either by posting in the comments, or by emailing me at thehappysorceress at gmail dot com. I'll post the party round-up Saturday, the 23rd, and I hope to see you there!

Alex loves getting a bath, but can't stand having his hair rinsed (the sprayer freaks him out). He cries, and yells, and looks generally unhappy immediately after. But he's incredibly excited about going to school, the previous night's...

First, let me say...my new camera rocks! There's no way I could have taken a yellow/white picture with the old camera. I'm still getting the feel of it, but even these first tries are pretty amazing. A recipe we've been meaning to make for...

Remember: your Blogging by Mail packages should be shipped out by next Friday!! I'll be getting mine out Monday or Tuesday, but there's still seventy packages that need to go out. Don't forget to let me know when you've sent a package,...

Time for more puppy cuteness. Alex taking advantage of Donegal's snuggliness. Wicklow taking a nap...but what else is new. Doolin seeking a safe spot to enjoy his chewie. And all three, together again! Sweetnicks will have all the other pups...
