Le' French Toast

This morning for breakfast I did my best at creating the best french toast from one of my favorite restaurants, Plum Hill Cafe. Here is the recipe for my version of:

Le' French Toast

4 eggs

1 cup of milk

1 tsp sugar

a couple dashes of vanilla ( sorry I don't always measure)

cinnamon ( to sprinkle on after on the griddle)

Store bought croissants ( got mine from Sam's Club)

Mix the eggs, milk,sugar and dashes of vanilla in a bowl. Warm of the griddle and melt some butter around. Dip the croissants in the egg mixture and place on the griddle. I then sprinkled each croissant with cinnamon and cooked on both sides till golden.

I then topped mine with raspberries from our garden this past summer and U.P. blueberries that my Dad picked. YUM!

It is also good with pure maple syrup, but if you are like me and didn't get a chance to get out and tap any maple trees this past spring then Mrs. Butter's Worth works just fine too!

Enjoy

"Surprise" I'm still here!

I'm back! I've decided I miss writing even if no one reads this, it still feels good to look back at my day or week and let my mind wander beyond the next daily task. Or maybe I feel like this is my only way of communicating with someone who is older than 9. Now since Steve is working out of town and only comes home on the weekends my communication with adults is even more limited. I will now be that annoying woman in the checkout line at the grocery store who tells her entire life story to the cashier because she is so lonely and is happy to have someone to listen to her. Okay, that is really sad, but true.

I am sitting here thinking about how to start my day and what to do first. I would love to just sit and work on my many craft idea's that are floating around in my head. Last weeks project was knitting each of the kids a hat and embellishing them with crochet flowers which thanks to the internet I taught myself how to do. I will post a picture as soon as I can get my 4 kids to sit still and cooperated long enough for me to take that picture. This weeks project is creating hair bows for my girls because I have a picture appointment for the kids next week so I thought I would tie their outfits all together with matching hair bows.

Okay that is all for now. I am going to work on getting that picture.

4th of July Weekend

Just wanted to quickly post some pictures from last weekend. We had a great time with 4th of July festivities and a visit from Uncle John and Aunt Lindsey (or as Gray would say "Uncle Don and Aunt Lizzy").

We had a great fun filled weekend. This week we are enjoying Lifest down in Oshkosh this weekend so hopefully this week I will get lots pictures of that up.

An Update On Us

It is amazing how quickly summer can go by.  I think we have just about every weekend this summer planned.  It sure makes the summer feel short.  

Well this has been one crazy house over the past 3 weeks.  It all started when Gray came down with Pneumonia.  Just when he got better I started getting a fever and a few days later the cough started and I ended getting phenomena.  Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic the doctor gave me and ended up getting very sick.  By 5:00 pm that day I was so dehydrated and week I had to go into the hospital for I.V. fluid, antibiotic, and medicine that would stop me from throwing up.  I am so glad that is past me and I hope we never have that passing through our house again.

On tale end of that we were bless with extreme heat and humidity.  We spent the week in the kiddy pool in the back yard. (Yes me too!)  I feel like I have not gotten anything done the past few weeks with being sick, recovering and the heat, so my house is now in desperate need of some cleaning attention.

This week is a big week for me.  Both of my girls are gone for the week.  Haven went to Aunt Debbie and Uncle Jon's on Saturday. She is having a great time and I am not even sure if she misses me.  She is having a blast and I can't wait to see her.  

Rylee is at Lake Lundgren Bible Camp for the first time.  I dropped her off Monday and it looked so fun I wished I were  8 and could stay with her.  When did the kid's get so big that they can leave their Mommy for the week.  I am sure they are fine and having a blast, but I am a wreck, I miss them so much!  I will get to see them tomorrow night and I am sure they will both have lots of stories.  

So that's what's going on here.  We are looking forward to a long weekend with Steve's brother John and his wife Lindsey coming to visit.  So, Happy Forth of July!!!!!f

Gray's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe 3 years have gone by with our little Gray, or as Gray would say," I BIG Gray!"  He is such a blessing and I love having my little boy.  

We decided to celebrate his big day on Saturday since Sunday was a very busy day.  In the morning we packed a picnic lunch and headed to the zoo in Green Bay after we were done there we went to this little park along the Bay called Bay Beach.  Steve grew up going there as a kid and has always talked about it.  I have always wanted to go so we decided since we were already in the area to stop by.  This park had lots of good kid size amusement rides. Most of the rides were only 25 cents so the five dollars we spent went a long way.  After that we went to McDonald's for dinner and headed home for cake and presents.  

On Sunday Steve took Gray to a Timber Rattlers baseball game.  They had a great time despite the cold and wind.  

Here are some pictures of our weekend:

Last Day Of School

Last Day of School

1st Day of School

    

 The school year is over and I now have a 3rd grader an a 1st grader.  Wow! time flies!  I can't help but feel a little sad.  Both girls had wonderful teachers and the girls and I are going to miss them.  I hope that we are always bless with great teachers like we have had the past three years.  

     The girls will be going to summer school starting on the 15th of June and going until mid-July.  It is only 3 hours in the morning so will will be nice for them to get out of the house a bit each day. 

     I am looking forward to the summer and having my girls home with me and have a little more relaxed schedule.
