the errors of parenting

You know you are doing something wrong when you child grabs the kitchen spoon and says
"you hear me mommy! spank your butt!!"

OH what a boy...

So the days of heathy eating starts...

My friend Patty and I were pureeing our kids nutrition last week. We puree'd butter nut squash, carrots, and sweet potatos into orange puree.
Blueberry and spinach into purple puree,
pea's, zucchini, and spinach for a green puree,
cauliflower, chick pea's and yellow squash for a white puree.
Now we are adding them to our foods and eating a searving of veggies with out even knowing it!!
We put he orange puree in spagetti last week and you couldn't even tell!
Thanks to the cook books:
the sneaky chef, how to cheat on your man in the kitchen
and deceptively delicious :)
I Have been brain washed... I watched Food Inc. on the Roku player and I almost totally stopped eating meat since (except for "dinner" the cow we butchered in the freezer). I did manage to find Organic Chicken at Wal-Mart for $1.98 a pound...
Here is the recipe for spinach and strawberry salad:
2 TBS mayo
1 Tbs honey
1tsp apple cider vinegar
Poppy seed to make it pretty :)
use just enough dressing to coat the spinach and top with strawberries!! :)
It is supper yummy! In fact I have eaten about three bags of spinach over the last week, I think I am about burnt out on it!


Who knew that food could be so beautiful Lol. I have found a couple of farms locally that I am going to buy produce from over the summer. I am hoping through all this I can teach Wyatt healthy eating habits, that is, if he doesn't pay much attention to what his daddy eats!!



Speaking of Wyatt...

What a ham! We have been working on potty training, he does great if I set a timer to remind me. I don't want to push too hard because this kid has a STRONG WILL (I have no clue where he got that from!) We are doing half underwear (when we are at home) and half pull-ups (when we go out) and diapers at night... I am bound and determined to save some diaper $!!

Colleen bought Wyatt a bubble machine for his birthday and we got in Saturday!! HE LOVES IT!! Thank you Colleen! We miss you! xoxoxo

Here is Wyatt at Rubio's for my moms birthday, you would think that we would stop eating the lemon after he figured out it was sour but nope!

Last weekend we drove to Utah on a whem to buy a car from my stepbrother... I will have picture so you can laugh at me, I am becoming frugal. :) who knew it could be so hard NOT to do something (like spend $!!)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Cameron is graduating tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will update the blog Friday with pictures!!! Yay Cameron!
