Petey is loving his school. He goes two days a week plus Fridays with the 4 year Olds. He gets along with them so well. Petey is so funny... Todaywe baked cookies and after he took his first bite he said, "you've really outdone your self mom". Today as well... I hear the fridge closing... Petey, what are you doing in the fridge? P says, "getting whip cream". I ask, "why are you getting whip cream?" He responds "for my spoon". Can't put anything past him!</div>

Liza is 10.5 months and so happy. She's not fond of eggs but loves cheese! She weighs in at 20.10 lbs, her favorite thing to do is climb in and out of her radio flyer wagon. </div>

Right now we are smack in the middle of remodeling our bathroom, kitchen and painting the house. It sure is coming along, and we absolutely love the fact that it's ours!</div>

I keep busy with the three kids and am getting back into the swing of things. I can't find the time to run still, but I am starting to eat healthier and get back into cooking and exploring with our meals. </div>

I cannot believe I'm going to be 32 soon, how fast time flies. I can vividly remember my life at Mikaylas age-living in Delmar, my friends, 4th grade... It is so bitter sweet. Sometimes I wish I could go back, or at least just stop the clock from ticking away so darn fast. some days I just wish I could be a kid again, don't you? I love where I am in my life, but some days I wish I could go back to that security. I loved my childhood and the family I grew up in and some days I wish I could spend it how we used to- always taken for granted. All I can do now is be the best mom I can be to my children and hope one day they can see me just how I see my mom now. I wish nothing but the best for my three little loves- I want God to protectt them throughout their journey and I can only hope they make nothing but good choices. Love you all so much.</div>

Day 3... because I was tired! I ended up sleeping until 10 (obvi I woke up to get Mikayla on the bus) and it just made me more exhausted, so I decided to "workout later that night". Of course that never happened. Who wants to work out at night? Not me. <br />
<br />
Day 3 was done today. It was a Cardio Power and Resistance program, and I liked this one as well. I'm finally learning how to do a push up after 28...almost 29... years of not knowing how! I am very proud of myself. This was another 40 minute workout, but the moves are already becoming familiar and its allowing me to actually do them the right way. Theres a pretty long warm up again, then some stretching, then right into the cardio circuits. Sprinting, Hurdles, Squats, Globe Jumps, Power Jacks, 1-2-3's, Moving push ups, running push ups, etc. Its really difficult but not as intense as I thought. I hope I'm doing it right! Its all about form and your own personal pace... I know I don't get as many in as the ripped people on tv, but i know that's OK. just getting off my butt is good enough.<br />
<br />
After Pete made some recovery drink... muscle milk with a can of mixed fruit, a banana, some ice and some water. Then he made a nice green salad, with cukes and pretzels<br />

We also devoured some slices of last nights dinner<br />

I have a soft spot for crescent rolls. And really cool 6 year olds. With fake glasses and fake hair.<br />

The entire segment lasted about 45 minutes. I was nice and sweaty by the end of it! This workout consisted of three different circuts, with about 5 different things in each circut, done three times, with a little bit of a variation in each circut. Even the warm up for this was 6 moves done three time each, faster each time, with no break in between!! OMG!! By the third round in each circut I was on the floor done for, trying to push myself. The moves were not hard for me, but I'm not used to not resting in between, so that was hard. I did have to say I enjoyed the moves on Day 2... suicide jumps, jumping squats, skiing moves, basketball jumps, football moves... it was a fun, quick spin on things I would NEVER do!<br />
<br />
After, of course, I was super hungry, so I raided the fridge and ate some of last nights leftovers...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xBhfFMP1cpN9vjPKEPOqC2AgxqpLhyfBJ2HKB2OKfTiYubSM5FizhPhx8n45WS9O1dfidqNzK8mpbMmdyW5Dk6MELOIm8aWUWdmaEmAtTqlPrZ0Kgadv7YjhcQDnxtnUYD9jqWWXmfp3/s1600/IMG-20111010-02623.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xBhfFMP1cpN9vjPKEPOqC2AgxqpLhyfBJ2HKB2OKfTiYubSM5FizhPhx8n45WS9O1dfidqNzK8mpbMmdyW5Dk6MELOIm8aWUWdmaEmAtTqlPrZ0Kgadv7YjhcQDnxtnUYD9jqWWXmfp3/s320/IMG-20111010-02623.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I told you I was eating healthy! I had some leftover tilapia, roasted cauliflower, and couscous. I also had a slice of meaty garbage bread that i made last night, with tons of leftover hamburger in it. These were pics from last night, I was too hungry to take one today. <br />
<br />

All this working out and breastfeeding is killing me on calories, and I find myself pretty hungry lately, even before my two intense days of working out :)<br />

Then I placed the entire sandwich in the panini maker... and it came out amazing. Panini makers make the best sandwiches...ever.<br />

Mikayla has cheer after school today, once again she is cheering in the high school homecoming football game... soooo excited!Mrs Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16359693187937421605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453622187700564594.post-90610509150571675082011-10-10T16:42:00.001-04:002011-10-10T16:43:00.642-04:00Long Time No BlogToday was my first day of <a href="http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity.do">Insanity.</a> I have taken the Insanity challenge, and it lasts for a total of 60 days. It is 6 days on, 1 day off (Sunday). My body already feels like jelly, although the workout wasn't as bad as I thought. Today was the first day, so Pete and I began the first Fit Test. A fit test in this program consists of eight intense cardio moves, and you count how many of each move you can do in one minute. <br />
<br />
<ol><li>Switch Kicks 107</li>
<li>Power Jacks 45</li>
<li>Power Knees 62</li>
<li>Power Jumps 27</li>
<li>Globe Jumps 5</li>
<li>Suicide Jumps 13</li>
<li>Push up Jacks 15</li>
<li>Low Plank Oblique 51</li>
</ol>Not bad for my first time. I think the hardest was a Power Jump because you have to jump high in the air with your knees up to the side of you and hit your knees with your hands while in the air. I think the easiest was the Low Plank Oblique, which you get onto the floor push up style but lay on your arms, and kick your knees to your arms. Overall, my body feels great... like cooked spaghetti!<br />
<br />
After we worked out I made a pretty healthy breakfast... this lil man helped me.<br />

First I coked up two leftover spicy sausages, half a leftover hamburger, chopped garlic, spinach, a chopped green tomato and some black olives<br />

School shopping with her and my mom (and of course PJ) was so fun, Mikayla is into clothes and knows what she likes and what she doesn't. She got so many new clothes (thanks nana!) and a new big girl lunch box! During our shopping trip to Target I thought Mikayla was shaking the door to the dressing room and kept telling her not to.... I kept saying "Mikayla, get away from the door!"... turns out it wasn't her and it was a 45 second earthquake!! Holy cow!!<br />
<br />
When we arrived home last night I quickly got to work making BLT's. I knew I wanted something fast and easy for dinner, and sandwiches oer the summer are always a favorite go-to meals. I made mine into a salad, complete with roasted brussel sprouts in it and bleu cheese dressing<br />
<br />

Its so easy and you don't cut your fingers!<br />
<br />
Pete had a BLT with a fried egg, and Mikayla had "Clam Soup", which would be New England Clam Chowder. On today's agenda is lots of cooking, baking, laundry, and packing! Yay for family days spent at home!! Maybe I will even fix my camera today and finally begin taking decent photos. <br />

No matter what I do, I'm holding PJ and spending time with Mikayla, so its impossible to find time to do anything! Blogging has really been placed on the back burner lately, but I must say I have made some amazing meals that I am planning to eventually write about. I'm also planning to beginning to run again, which makes me anxious. <br />

He is so so so good, and Mikayla is the best big sissy ever. I just have two absolute amazing children, I'm so lucky. Today we stopped by Nana and Poppy's house, where Nana fed me this amazing overnight french toast. I shall ask her for the recipe and post it, because it was really good and would be great to serve for a brunch. <br />

I try to practice all the time with her, mainly because I think its fun and I think shes the cutest cheerleader ever! She is getting the hang of it, and her favorite part is going up on the pyramid.<br />

Cheerleading is just such an awful time, its 5:30 to 7, which is exactly time for dinner. We came home and immediately began to cook shrimp <a href="http://mrspizzahead.blogspot.com/2011/02/weddings-and-couscous.html">my favorite way</a>, and I decided to make shrimp tacos. I also had about 4 pieces of cooked catfish in my fridge, so I reheated that in the oven as well. I haven't ever bought catfish but decided to buy it at BJ's, so now we have a ton of it! (I do like catfish, and would definitely buy it again). <br />
In the tacos were shrimp, Cajun catfish, <a href="http://mrspizzahead.blogspot.com/2011/01/taco-pie-and-homemade-black-refried.html">re fried black beans</a>, spinach, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, cheese and sliced avocado... so so good!<br />

Its always nice to cook at my moms because I never have to clean up.<br />

We had agreed on steak and something to do with zucchini. over at <a href="http://www.eatliverun.com/">Jenna's blog</a> had I seen a recipe for cheesy zucchini pizza and decided it was a must-make for dinner. I realized we didn't have any pizza dough but had some yeast, so I made my own pizza dough, which was super easy. (Recipe to follow). <br />
<br />
while looking trough my moms freezer also found two swordfish steaks and decided to make those.<br />
<br />
I actually recently told myself to start eating fish, and this was perfect. I jumped online and googled swordfish recipes, but most had you grilling, which I didn't want to do. i came across a recipe for <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/swordfish-a-la-siciliana/detail.aspx">Italian swordfish steaks</a> and knew most of hose ingredients could be found... winner!<br />
<br />
First, I soaked some raisins in warm water<br />
<br />

2 tbsp pine nuts (i used sunflower seeds) <br />
4 tomatoes, chopped<br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
1-2 cloves garlic<br />
1/4 cup capers<br />
olive oil<br />
<br />
Oven on 400.<br />
1. Soak raisins in water for 30 mins. In a bowl, combine nuts, tomatoes and raisins (drained). <br />
2. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil in a pan on top of the stove. <br />
3. Add mixture to the pan, cover, and cook on simmer for 15 mins.<br />
4. Take mixture off stove and spoon onto swordfish steaks. <br />
5. Put in oven and cook for about 20 minutes.<br />

We split 2 steaks between 4 people, they are so filling!<br />

Whats this you ask? A leftover taco salad from the beach. I fried up two eggs and plopped them on top for a semi-healthy breakfast. I also re-heated the taco meat and fed half of it to the dogs. Salad for breakfast... is not weird in my book.<br />

<u><b>Zuccini Quiche</b></u><br />
1 large zucchini, diced<br />
handful mushrooms, diced <br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
4 eggs<br />
1 cup milk<br />
1 cup cheese<br />
1 pie crust (or a<a href="http://mrspizzahead.blogspot.com/2010/12/apple-pie-love.html"> homemade one here</a>)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven at 350. Saute the onion in olive oil until soft. Make a pie shell, or roll one out if you're lazy. In the pie shell place the zucchini, mushrooms, and onion. Whisk together the milk, eggs and cheese, and pour over veggies. Bake in oven for 50 minutes, take out and let cool. We used fresh mozz, so it didn't actually "set" but will if you use a cheese that's a bit more firm. <br />

She especially enjoys baking cupcakes. Throughout the blogging world, I have recently seen tons of rainbow cupcakes and tie-dyed cupcakes, and thought this would be a fun twist on a regular, old, boring cupcake.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcAgefJNtBdFqSMG1wPM8AXcFnYHTzxNi-_qihg_evSfRfUVnBlMuq74eAZizElyP8Ly7TagJzlcgOSbfj5xl7U9D3Urf8WozNz-WAHn5ZL_tFUzSnjpZwLGJTxHgEl9o5UxuO5cRT9-L/s1600/IMG-20110810-02006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcAgefJNtBdFqSMG1wPM8AXcFnYHTzxNi-_qihg_evSfRfUVnBlMuq74eAZizElyP8Ly7TagJzlcgOSbfj5xl7U9D3Urf8WozNz-WAHn5ZL_tFUzSnjpZwLGJTxHgEl9o5UxuO5cRT9-L/s320/IMG-20110810-02006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
First we made the cupcake batter... I don't have a recipe I enjoy, since I don't bake enough homemade cupcakes. I wish I did a bit more research on the basic recipe. Nothing I have ever tried tasted like it came from a box... in other words, homemade cupcakes are much more dense than the box kind. At least mine are.<br />
<br />
Once the cupcake batter was done, we divided the batter into 5 smaller bowls, mixing a different food color in each bowl and stirring well. Using one color at a time, we spooned it into the bottom of the cupcake liners. The first color didn't cover the bottom, but I didn't mind because we wanted to create tie-dye ones. We repeated for each color and then took a knife and swirled the colors together at the end.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwwuNFblh6L67iB7GlarIHycxi45X7u7PnjV43PKVqQmNnROMnzeddKaI1wwB9BnUHIkUoWW3ZN0T1DaBhZNAxDfQw35RsRXJuJE1fQevtrVdwU4ByddCNwpgYuCUYcTp9FoS5SJJotLp/s1600/IMG-20110810-02005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwwuNFblh6L67iB7GlarIHycxi45X7u7PnjV43PKVqQmNnROMnzeddKaI1wwB9BnUHIkUoWW3ZN0T1DaBhZNAxDfQw35RsRXJuJE1fQevtrVdwU4ByddCNwpgYuCUYcTp9FoS5SJJotLp/s400/IMG-20110810-02005.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
They came out really pretty, but I would like to experiment for a fantastic vanilla recipe. I don't particularly enjoy cupcakes, ever, so in order to eat and enjoy I need to find an awesome recipe. Any ideas??<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGwdSOgXFYMI0yy4y_77LlbGHxA1shsXKAt6CzJ4MvWjPHN7WBkeHTR0bP68UfAZUioEeHs-PStcrtpQAXcMlaSg1kxnnONOq0zYKjb5mBYr8lJqESIfzCaOGc3HM6UXQLjtag_lBahJK-/s1600/IMG-20110810-02004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGwdSOgXFYMI0yy4y_77LlbGHxA1shsXKAt6CzJ4MvWjPHN7WBkeHTR0bP68UfAZUioEeHs-PStcrtpQAXcMlaSg1kxnnONOq0zYKjb5mBYr8lJqESIfzCaOGc3HM6UXQLjtag_lBahJK-/s320/IMG-20110810-02004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

The main dish was <a href="http://mrspizzahead.blogspot.com/2011/04/outside-scampi.html">Shrimp Scampi</a> but I decided to cut the sauce in half because I wasn't in the mood for a buttery dish.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos from the wedding, but the bride looked beautiful! The next day we decided to eat at a little place on the main road .

I don't remember ever being on a tram, but I'm sure I have before. It was a quick 7 minute, packed trip up the mountain.

The first hike we took I freaked out, because it was on the side of the mountain and I had PJ and Mikayla, so I forced us (along with the father in law and husband) to turn around. Once we headed back we found the "short" safe trail directly to the top, no cliffs involved, so we took that. <br />

Me, Pete, PJ, Mikay, Rocket and Pocket... and my bro in law and his two kids. We had beautiful, hot weather, it was so perfect for two days at the beach! <br />

Actually, he pretty much slept the entire time, except for the first night. The kids really enjoyed having nothing to do and make their own fun... such as chopping down trees. Don't worry mom, Mikayla didn't actually hold the ax!<br />

I went bathing suit shopping!! I ended up buying 3 Nike tankini tops, and I will keep the one I like the most, if not two. I bought the three in my size, so we shall see! I find the Nike bathing suits flattering, and since they have all types of bottoms it allows you to mix and match. They are also made really well and so not expensive, they were on sale today for 50% off at Kohls. <br />

He wasn't so good in the morning... he was up from 7am to about 10, but who cares?!?! I got 4 un-broken hours of sleep!! 3 hours the night before, 4 hours last night... hopefully soon he can sleep 6 hours, that would be amazing!<br />
<br />
For breakfast I just had a repeat of last nights dinner.. salad. Do I usually eat salad for breakfast? No. But, I don't trust the milk in the fridge and I'm currently out of eggs, so I made a salad. <br />
<br />

Its pretty good but I know I will need something else soon. I will shed this baby weight :)<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what is on the agenda for today, I do know I'm about to take full advantage of PJ's nap and take a shower, by myself, that never happens!Mrs Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16359693187937421605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453622187700564594.post-15228392374685170252011-07-16T23:14:00.000-04:002011-07-16T23:14:33.617-04:00Salad and ShoppingToday I feel like I accomplished a lot...outside of my home. First we drove to someones house to buy one of <a href="http://www.babybjorn.com/us/products/baby-carriers/baby-carrier-air/air/">these off Craigslist</a> . We now have three... but wont have three for long - I need to decide which carrier I like the best. I really wanted a Baby Bjorn because, well, its expensive so it must be good. I used it with PJ on a power walk tonight, and its okay. I need to test out the other two before I settle. <br />
<br />
I also went to Target to get some clothes that fit post-pregnancy. I was ideally looking for a new bathing suit (at least a top) to wear to Maine but came up with NOTHING. Ugh. Pete, PJ and I went to Paneras for lunch today and I got the Turkey Artichoke Panini with a Greek Salad<br />
<br />

Its dangerous living next door to one :). Luckily, I found a bunch of clothes from Target and Gap that fit and don't look like I'm trying to stuff myself into them. <br />
<br />
My goal to lose weight is to just watch everything that I eat and drink plenty of water. I ate two salads today, so I feel that is a good start. I ordered a cheap side salad from a pizza joint today, then added some leftover pulled pork, bacon, jalapeno peppers, and broccoli. <br />

I woke up at 4:50, fed him, and by 6 am I wasn't even tired because I felt so refreshed from a "long" period of sleep. However... i did force myself to go back to bed, I do have to take full advantage of all naps. This morning Pete was watching Tour de France and had PJ with him, so I enjoyed a nice, quiet breakfast outside:<br />

I enjoy cooking breakfast every morning but haven't really had the opportunity to do so lately, so this was a nice treat! Yesterday Mikay, PJ and I all went to my friend Maureens house to swim, and here's a photo of Mikay and Daisy, Maureens doggie:<br />

I REALLY need to drop 20 lbs, and would like to drop 30, but its hard because if I don't keep up my caloric intake my body wont produce PJ's food... so for now I'm going to bite the bullet and just buy some bigger clothes since I don't fit in anything I own. Boo. I cant start running again until I get cleared by the doctor, but I have been walking.Mrs Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16359693187937421605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453622187700564594.post-60159048595262199972011-07-14T13:49:00.000-04:002011-07-14T13:49:08.863-04:00PJ!!Peter Andrew Vottis Jr. was born on June 23rd at 10:05 pm. Pete (Sr..hahha) and I went into the hospital to be induced at 6am that same day. I was in labor for 14 hours total... and only had to push for 1 hr 15 minutes. I was so super nervous to go into the hospital and give birth again, I pretty much had anxiety over doing it, however, it was a piece of cake compared to the first child! Its true what they say... the second is much, much easier!<br />

I guess something around 8 lbs... and when they weighed him he was 9 lbs 9 oz and 21 1/2" long!! Holy cow, I never ever expected that! Just to compare it to Mikayla Christine, she was born Oct 17th 2005 after 26 hrs of labor, 4 of those hours pushing... and she was born 9.7 and 22" long. <br />

<br />
Being home and breastfeeding is both fulfilling and overwhelming. I did not breastfeed with Mikayla because it just didn't work out for me, and my heart wasn't in it, but PJ decided he enjoyed it as soon as he was born, he took to it really well. He eats about every 2 hours for about 45 minutes, giving me a solid hour of sleep at a time, all night, even now. I try to pump as much as possible and wasn't really getting ahead, but I looked up tips online and managed to freeze about 11 oz so far. I want to have it in case I ever leave my lil munchkin I want to leave Pete some food for him! <br />
<br />
My husband has been so super-duper fantastic throughout this pregnancy and birth. Am I surprised?... absolutely not. He wakes up during the night and provided I am able to leave him a bottle he will feed and change PJ and then walk around with him until he goes back to sleep... unfortunately some nights I am unable to provide this and just do it all night anyway. But my husband is a dream, he is just so in love with PJ and takes really good care of him. If it wasn't for the breastfeeding I know he would do even more!<br />
<br />
I was able to cook dinner yesterday... and nap two times... and I feel like I'm actually beginning to get into the swing of things. Its been 3 weeks today (!!!) and is taking this long to adjust. I read that it can take 6 to 10 weeks for your milk to be in sync with your child, and I feel my body is beginning to do so. <br />
<br />
PJ is just such a joy, he is not a crier and is overall a really good baby. Mikayla has been such a great big sister, we bought her Mario Kart for the Wii and her and Pete have been playing a lot lately, since we pretty much hang out together as a family (and all I do is breastfeed/pump on the couch!!). But she doesn't seem to have any issues, she is pretty independent anyway. <br />

I had originally planned to spend the afternoon at a pool with Mikayla, but it was pretty crappy outside today, so I couldn't. We did get to spend the day at the pool on Tuesday, and here are the last photos you will see of me pregnant!<br />

Next, we geared up and took a "hike" on the bike path. Pete rode his bike (wayyy more miles then we walked) and Mikay, the pups and I walked about 2 miles. The bike path is literally a 2 minute walk from where we live, and a nice, scenic, easy walk is from our apartment to one of the Locks on the Mohawk River. <br />

Poor thing died in about 2 minutes. She squishes EVERYTHING she holds. She pretty much carried a dead frog for about one mile. <br />

I am 39 weeks pregnant. <br />
<br />
After dropping Mikayla off to school today I took a quick run to Price Chopper. Mikayla is having her BFF over after school today, and she has been giving me explicit instructions on what she wants them to eat for dinner. Here's what $21.00 bought me today at the store:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu4b8IVeIJLV_mkDFkp_cRA7YJdxs8hD9lMJG2PBtoDvW0VCc-LqwM6HQ7L9oFQZ8Uhl4fN9v2S-4ZEg5zgZjzmx28xM7hEQ9sp1Knq_XFn7WI1iE7cK5jldx6xAeYRaPhEKWvCSizvis8/s1600/IMG-20110617-01465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu4b8IVeIJLV_mkDFkp_cRA7YJdxs8hD9lMJG2PBtoDvW0VCc-LqwM6HQ7L9oFQZ8Uhl4fN9v2S-4ZEg5zgZjzmx28xM7hEQ9sp1Knq_XFn7WI1iE7cK5jldx6xAeYRaPhEKWvCSizvis8/s320/IMG-20110617-01465.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>That's right.. you see hot dogs. She said her friend Delia loooooves them, so I had to buy them. She jumped on this too... "Mom, this means we NEED ketchup". Grr... fine, child. I was going to buy butcher hot dogs, but Pete said he would eat Nathans hot dogs. I also got hot dog buns, but a slightly healthier kind... as in, not the cheapest package I could find. I bought two boxes of Annie's Mac N Cheese, which is always a welcomed favorite. Rice Krispies because I'm home all day and if I have marshmallows Id love to whip up some 'Kripsy treats. I also bough Goldfish (remember the explicit instructions?!), Capri Suns, and an ice cream treat.... Strawberry shortcake bars. Eggs were $1 for 12, so I had to buy those. Not my normal shopping trip, but I refuse to let my child be the kid that eats weird. (Don't you worry... as soon as they walk in I will fill them up with fresh, cut up fruit anyhow..).<br />
<br />
Ahhh... so you see that mini-Friendlys ice cream sundae, do you? <br />
<br />

It was mint chocolate ice cream with fudge and crushed Keebler grasshopper cookies on top. When I got home it was already <strike>perfect </strike>ruined and all melty, so I had to immediately dig in. <br />

<br />
Last night we utilized our <a href="http://nysparks.state.ny.us/admission/empire-passport/">NY State Park Season pass</a> and drove up to <a href="http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/150/details.aspx">Moreau Lake</a> as a family, minus the dogs. We made it with about a little over an hour to swim in the lake. I feel I need to do these things now, before the baby comes! After swimming we let Mikayla play on the playground for a few but Pete and I were getting eaten alive by mosquito's so we had to leave. <br />
<br />
When we came home we worked on the bedroom a lil more (to make room for the babes) and I popped a frozen pizza in the oven. I also roasted some broc, and cooked up some zucchini. I bought two emergency frozen pizzas in case Pete and Mikayla needed something to eat, but we already used them both! Ha. <br />

I had high hopes for today, because I accomplished so much yesterday, but the lack of sleep from last night is already slowing me down. I got Mikayla to school on time.... I hate how sometimes 9am seems so early, because I know its not!! I really wanted to keep her home with me today, but I didn't because she only has 3 full days of school left, and I know these are the fun days! <br />
<br />
I came home and cooked up a hearty breakfast, because I was starving! I made an amazing egg sandwich, with 2 eggs, fresh mozz cheese, some <a href="http://mrspizzahead.blogspot.com/2011/06/accomplishments.html">leftover Brushetta Salsa stuff</a>, lettuce and some hot sauce. <br />

I went boy baby shopping, using lots and lots of coupons. One of my purchases consisted of this:<br />

The key to today's shopping trip is I scored everything for just $1.00 a piece!! woot woot!<br />
<br />
I then met my husband for lunch, since he no longer has classes he had a lunch that was longer than 40 minutes, so we met at a buffet. <br />

I'm not quite sure why her S's are backwards, we will need to work on that. I was actually alone for dinner, so I made some Brushetta which actually seemed more like salsa to me (I will post this). I made two pita pizzas smothered in Brushetta and fresh mozzarella cheese, but was still hungry after that so I mixed it with leftover taco salad and chips.<br />
