<span style="font-size: x-small;">6!!! What, how can we be old enough to have a 6 year old. My how time flies. Clayton is finishing his year as a Kindergarten and we can hardly believe it. It has been absolutely amazing to see the transformation this year. He really loves school (especially hot lunch). He is reading and writing, really enjoys math and Spanish! He is a great big brother too. Isla lights up when he gets home from school and although they have their moments like any brother and sister, he and Maddie are still great playmates. He is a super sweet kid. He can't wait for the summer to play t-ball, swim, golf and play tennis. He is really into the Box Car Children books right now and we have made it to book 10 already!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Clayton wanted a Lego super hero party. Note to self, it is not so easy to have a theme that no one makes party supplies for. Thanks to Etsy and some creativity we pulled it off! He had some great friends come and we had a super nice day for the party. It was almost 80 degrees and the kids all had a blast running around outside. </span></div>

My advise when planning your 2nd or 3rd child don't have them 5 days apart from your first child :) I also feel the birthday pressure since my mom did a FANTASTIC job making sure we felt special every year on our big day. But really, it was a TON of fun. (Also make sure you have fantastic friends who are willing to come to your house for parties 2 weekends in a row)<br />
<br />
Madeline decided she wanted a Barbie Baking Party! We decorated cupcakes, made chocolate chip cookies and played! I think everyone had fun. I found a recipe for cookie dough without eggs so a highlight was eating the cookie dough! :)<br />
<br />
I can't begin to imagine that Madeline is 4! She is so grown up, yet still my baby girl. She is mommy's little helper now that Clayton is at school everyday. She takes awesome care of her little sister, playing with her, singing to her and making sure she doesn't get into trouble. She loves school, and is sharp as a tack. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell it like it is. (Hum, wonder where she gets that) She is also an outdoorsy little girl. Justin is sure she will be his hunting partner! She can't wait to get the garden in again this spring. Her favorite color this year is pink, if you can't tell by the pics below. :)<br />
<br />
Madeline we love you more than you can imagine!!!!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Wow, I can't believe how fast this school year is flying. Maddie only has about 6-7 weeks left. We are just finishing the kids Spring break and we sure packed it in. So here is a quick list of the highlights.</span></div>
<ul>
<li>Awesome trip to Mimi and Papa's including</li>
<ul>
<li>Visits with Great Mimi and Great Papa</li>
<li>Time with Super Aunt Barb!!! (Clayton reminded me we had a SLUMBER PARTY with her!)</li>
<li>Pizza, Candy Store and Bakery</li>
<li>Swimming</li>
<li>Coffee at the Inn (Ok, so that is always enjoyable for me)</li>
<li>Ping pong, Air hockey and fun at the owner's club</li>
</ul>
<li>Trip to Springfield to go to Ergadoozy with Aunt Shannon and cousins. Kids loved this place.</li>
<li>Train Ride and Breakfast with Daddy</li>
<li>Early Birthday fun with Grandma and Grandpa</li>
<li>We can't forget our last day of vacation brought WARM WEATHER!! The kids were outside from 9am to 3pm only coming in for some bathroom breaks. We are so excited about being outside more.</li>
</ul>
<div>
So, on a side note, Tuesday is April 1 and I am not ready! April is Birthday extravaganza. </div>

It hit 60 degrees here yesterday and today. HOLY COW, I don't think we have seen that temp for over 4 months and it felt sooooooo good. We got out on walks, jumped in puddles, rode bikes, climbed the still big snow piles from our total of 55+ inches of snow this winter and just ran around. Maddie rode her big girl Minnie bike for the first time and she loved it. I think she is already in a bicycle gang. The only downside was we had to stay on the sidewalk or road. I think our yard will be a swamp until August. Oh well, it has been fun and now it will snow maybe 6 inches. Looking on the bright side, it will melt by the end of the week and I know warm weather is coming! Bring on the flip flops!</div>

So we have hit the toy limit, I don't think I will let anymore into the house. :) We got out a few old ones for Isla and she had a blast. I know I will be sad some day when all these toys are gone, but I also know we have ENOUGH! :)</div>

It's coming, Spring is coming. I have watched the Weather App and it is up to 56 for Monday!!! We are outside people. I know we will be outside playing, riding bikes, riding scooters, picnics, play dates, oh and so much more once things warm up. Daddy did a good job on the sidewalks so there was a small clear run from our house to the corner yesterday. Maddie took advantage to give her new scooter its first ride!!!</div>

"The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway!" Yes we are addicted to Frozen, but we are ready to "Let it Go!". I am dreaming of flip flops and the pool. Maddie, Keely and I did get out today while Isla was napping and it felt good! The sun was out and it felt warmer than 25 degrees. Maddie was excited to find an icicle and Keely loved playing ball. Isla and I played doll house inside while Maddie was at school. She is so cute and loves playing with it!<br />

My kids call this the "baby cage". I call it AWESOME! My Aunt Jane made this for us when Maddie was little. It is tons of fun. It is the cardboard that fabric at a fabric store is wrapped around (I am sure there is a technical name) and she and my cousin just put elastic through at the top and bottom of each one to connect them all. It is fantastic because you can make it into any shape you want, it folds up and doesn't take up much room and the older kids love to color, write, etc on it. With Isla on the move it is great to keep her contained or keep her away from stuff. You can get the cardboard for free from the fabric stores, so cheap and GREAT fun!</div>

Isla is amazing us everyday with her fast growth!!! Here is a snapshot of Isla:<br />
<ul>
<li>She would live in the bath if she could.</li>
<li>She thinks her big brother and sister are the best thing ever. (However we did have our first sister fight! Isla was not pleased that Madeline didn't want her playing with some of her toys)</li>
<li>I don't think C or M were nearly as ticklish as Isla is. She also has the best laugh, it is a full on belly laugh.</li>
<li>She loves to eat, she even loves the gross mixed veggies. She really loves to be able to pick up her food so I think she will be moving to that sooner than C and M did. Keely is loving this stage and Isla occasionally gets the big slobbery tongue bath.</li>
<li>She is crawling slowly, and loves to stand up at the couch, her crib, or anywhere else it is possible.</li>
<li>Not shocking, but EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. UGH, I am on constant surveillance mode to make sure legos, etc are not on the floor.</li>
<li>She says dadadadada all the time and if you ask where he is she starts looking for him. She has a huge smile on her face when he walks in the door each night.</li>
</ul>
<div>
I could go on for a long time. She is such a sweet baby and very easy going. She gets toted around a lot to brother and sister's activities so she is a saint for putting up with the car seat and car rides. WE LOVE HER SOOOOO MUCH! HAPPY 8 MONTH BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!<br />

Isla, LOVES being in the water. She loves taking a bath, splashing and if she isn't in there she wants to be watching. Big girl is loving standing at the couch and bath tub. She doesn't last long, but I just can't believe we are at this stage already. TOO FAST. She will be 8 months this week!</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Maddie isn't too much of a girly girl. She hates if I mess with her hair and doesn't care too much what she wears other than she usually has a color preference. Her favorite color most of last year was blue, she is on pink and light purple now. This is probably a good thing since I don't take a lot of time on my hair or makeup either. :) That being said, Anna Banana and Uncle David got her boots and scarves for Christmas and she LOVES them. She wears her boots every day. Note to self, I am going to have to find some spring boots and then cute sandals for her or she may be sweating in these in May. :) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">So I saw this idea somewhere, maybe Pinterest? It is a table hammock made with a sheet and just tied. It was a HUGE hit! Good thing we have a kitchen island and a dining room because I may have lost my kitchen table. :) I love how it is the simple and cheap thing the kids love. I have been trying to really remember that lately. I got Maddie a Barbie puzzle from the Dollar Tree for Valentines Day and she loved it. I have to say they are a great place for cheap stuff like that!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(I do recommend removing everything from the table. I did that shortly after taking the picture.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Madeline had her school Valentines Day Party today. It is always so fun to help with these and I am very fortunate to be able to go. The kids are always excited when I am there and it makes all the work/effort completely worth it. We had fun having cupcakes, decorating hearts with cut out paint chips (great idea and CHEAP) and we also played some Valentines Day BINGO. It was so cute to watch her go through her Valentines when she got home with Clayton. She kept all the candy, expect smarties that she doesn't like. She gave those and the Ninja Turtle cards to Clayton. :) We had a great afternoon building a lego helicopter, picking up the basement and playing super heroes. Clayton (aka Batman) Maddie (aka Batgirl) Isla (aka Wonder Woman) Mommy (Cat Girl) Daddy (The Joker) That was according to the kids! HA</span></div>

1 package boneless skinless chicken thighs (you should get about 8 thighs per package)<br />1 teaspoon kosher salt<br />1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper<br />1 teaspoon red pepper flakes<br />1 teaspoon chili powder<br />2 teaspoons paprika<br />2 teaspoons garlic powder<br />1/2 cup honey<br />2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar</div>

1. Mix spices together and set aside.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
2. Mix honey and cider vinegar and set aside.</div>

3. Un-tuck chicken thighs so they are flat. Cover both sides in seasoning, set flat onto sheet pan. When all chicken as been seasoned put under broiler* (I put mine on low just so I don’t worry about burning the chicken)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
4. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side and flip. Cook for a 5-7 minutes on other side. Flip again and then baste the chicken in honey/cider mixture. Be sure to really get the chicken covered. Add to oven again and let it cook under the broiler for a few minutes until the honey starts to thicken up and glaze. It may smoke a little but this is completely normal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
5. Take chicken out of oven and let rest for a few minutes before devouring. You don’t want to burn your mouth with all that hot honey glaze!</div>

I made this last night for Anna Banana and Uncle David. I really liked it. I would probably do less noodles next time, just because I like the veggies better. You really could do all veggies and no noodles. I also will probably wait until the summer to make it again so I have my own parsley and basil to use which will be a lot cheaper. </div>

So 2 months ago my weekends would often be full of cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. Now we are relaxing a lot more! (This is a great joy to Justin) Yes, my work schedule helps with this a ton, but I have my cleaning down to a science now. I have a weekly "chore list" and have all the cleaning, etc done in a Monday-Friday schedule so there really isn't anything needed on the weekends! Another bonus, small toys. I have anxiety about small toys, Isla choking of course is a concern but clutter makes me stress! So when the kids entered this small toy stage (army guys, legos, Barbie accessories, etc) I was a little worried. So what does this have to do with cleaning/chores? I now have a Mommy bin in the kitchen. If I find a toy on the floor, etc. it goes in my bin and the kiddos have to do something to get them out. This could include, setting the table, vacuuming their crumbs in the kitchen, emptying trash, getting something for me when my hands are full, bringing and sorting laundry etc. It is working out great! :) </div>

So I grew up with one sister so there were no "boy toys" in the house. I didn't know much about Hot Wheels. We got Clayton this Hot Wheels track for a gift sometime a year or so ago. GREAT PURCHASE. It was only like $20 or so. It attaches to the wall so it is not on the floor like all the other million toys we have. (It is only attached with those 3M removable things, so it doesn't ruin your wall, and you can just buy new strips if you need to) Maddie and Clayton have loved it and they can put it back together if a piece comes off. Isla now loves watching it. I know I am always trying to think of inexpensive but fun gifts, so here is a great one!The Story of the Murphyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10993845784641416161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570852287819974035.post-13308158818033604262014-02-07T08:36:00.000-06:002014-02-07T08:41:41.537-06:00Brown Sugar Meatloaf<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ok so I am not a food photographer and not everything can be super duper healthy. This wasn't a horrible meal though. Besides the meatloaf I made some fresh spinach. I LOVE spinach, but not a fan of the frozen stuff. I was at Hyvee and they had fresh spinach on sale for 99 cents a bag. Great deal! I just put a little olive oil and garlic in a pan, browned the garlic and then added the spinach until it wilted (about 2 min). I put some pepper on it too. (I was the only one that likes spinach in my house, I used half a bag) So below is the meatloaf recipe. It was AWESOME!</div>

tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Divide evenly among three separate bowls; set
aside. (I didn't divide, I just used a 1/3 each time to save on dishes to clean) In a large bowl combine garlic, Worcestershire sauce, milk, eggs, salt,
pepper, soup mix, ginger, bread crumbs and one bowl (1/3) of prepared brown
sugar/ketchup mixture. Add ground beef and mix to thoroughly combine. Spoon one bowl (1/3) of prepared brown sugar/ketchup mixture into the bottom of the pan. Place the meat loaf into the dish. Top with remaining bowl (1/3) of prepared brown
sugar/ketchup mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until juices are
clear or until thermometer inserted into the loaf reads 160 degrees F. Let
stand 10 minutes before slicing.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

We had so much fun yesterday, I figured I would post some more pictures. The kids were outside 3 times which was good since it is FREEZING here today and looks like it will be for a few days. They loved playing in the snow "mountains". That on top of a playdate meant bedtime a little before 7pm! I also took all 3 kids to Hyvee, no big deal except I also let Isla out of the car seat for the first time, and let M & C each get a little cart. It was hilarious and near stroke inducing at the same time. At one point I said to them "you will not get your donut if you don't listen" a fellow male shopper chimed in and said "Wow, that's serious, that's like saying I won't get my Miller Lite" HA Clayton only overturned his cart once. I hope the donut didn't fall out, oh well he ate it. </div>

What Mommy needed after shopping. I have a new love, Gallo wine Merlot. You must try it, even if you aren't a huge fan of red. It is sooooooo good!</div>

Isla was introduced to the fabulous world of (not at all nutritious) Puffs tonight. I justify them as a way to start learning the skills of self feeding. They are also a fabulous distraction when mommy needs to make dinner. As you can see Keely is just as pleased with this new step in Isla's life. :)</div>

Snow Day! Well they waited until 5:45am this morning to call it, but no school today! It is only 10:30am and we have already been busy. I should be down stairs working out since the kiddos are at friends playing, but I am procrastinating and doing this first while Miss Isla naps. I am hoping to keep everyone busy today and have some fun! The kids always say funny things, but I am trying to be better about writing them down. (Well mom is telling me I have to write them down:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love when the kids use adult words:</div>

So I am always looking for simple and fairly healthy recipes. Key being simple. There is nothing worse than a recipe that calls for 5 spices I don't have and will never use again!

Playing store on one of our snow/cold days with brother and sister</div>

I can't believe that Isla is 7 months old. She is changing and growing so much everyday. She is a Momma's girl for sure. (That may be my fault) Who knew knowing you were having your last baby would make you crazy and throw out all the rules :) She does love her daddy though and has a big smile for him as soon as he walks through the door. Talk about rule breaking, he let her suck on a freezy pop one time and now if any of us have food she thinks she is entitled to it. She doesn't have any teeth yet though, so she is pretty limited on options. Thankfully, she is like her older siblings and loves all the veggie baby food. Mixed Veggies seems to be one of her favorites actually, which if you ask me it tastes just plain gross. I have been making some food for her; sweet potatoes, carrots and avocados. I am not great at remembering milestones, I should go back on this blog and look when C and M started crawling. Isla seems content to roll around to whatever she wants and with two full time helpers (C&M) I think she knows there is very little she really needs to do on her own. Isla's hair is also looking a lot more red than the other two. We shall see as it comes in. Right now she loves taking baths, reading stories and just watching C&M run around! She is just too much fun!The Story of the Murphyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10993845784641416161noreply@blogger.com0
