Gorditas and Weekend warrior





So our weekend warrior left Peanut and I for not just a day shift but for 2 and a half days. Life always is interesting. Last Harry Potter book club loved it because I got to see my long lost friend from Colorado Springs and her baby. It was the highlight of the night! Love my Harry Potter book club and hoping that we will read a different series together.


Peanut and I went to my dear friend's house on Saturday and I learned how to make Gorditas. Before knowing my friend I thought gorditas were made-up from Taco Bell to sell to the masses. I didn't know they are a real great Mexican food. So we made the corn tortilla using about two cups corn flour and water. Put them on a skillet and cooked them. When cooled down cut them like a pita pocket-delicious. The filling was beans, meat, potatoes, sour cream, cheese and salsa. The salsa was made with 4 tomillas, 3 Jalapenos, 1 onion and 1 tomato roasted then blended added chicken stock cube and some salt, perfection for salsa verde.

Some days you just meet up with people you thought were kind and loving when you first met them but you were grossly wrong and discover that they are careless and rude, Sunday was that day discovery. I had to teach a class and no one to watch Peanut, these two older ladies clearly were annoyed with the thought of my child or any child for that  manner . Crazy and annoying day. I was so glad when we picked up Mr. Incredible.

Apples, Apples, Apples


My dear friend invited us over to get apples from her family tree and juice them. It was awesome, Peanut loved every minute of it. He was going around always with an apple in hand and tried to eat the rotten apples on the ground while chasing the dogs. We got a ton of apples which are beautifully sweet.


We love going to Thai Ginger, Peanut loves the pork dumplings. I'm grateful for the fun times. That is all for now!

Halloween




Peanut was Winnie the Pooh for Halloween and it fit his build perfectly. On Friday we went to the Littleton library and enjoyed the costume parade. Peanut walked all around the downstairs area the longest walking he has done looking like Frankstein holding out his little chubby hands and arms in front of him to balance. The library apparently thought that parents were going to eat all the cookies and drink all the juice so they called out a declaration that the food was only for the children.

Then our dear friend watched Peanut so Mr. Incredible and I could go on a date to Yogurtland which is awesome. Paying 30 cents per ounce, we got about 2 pounds. It was yummy! Then I decided to make a nursing cover for another friend of mine. It would look perfect if I did a straight hem. It still looks good despite my crazy hem lines because its silver and black floral fabric.
The baby shower that I went to that night was excellent. I hate when people tell you other people's problems when you are asking whom someone is. We will call this lady whom I know to much about Lucy. When in acquiring what this Lucy was, I got told the inferitility problems of this Lucy who I can't even tell you what she looks like. So if I meet this said Lucy I know all of her problems medically.

I didn't go to medical school people, so I thought I could avoid conversations like this that make me a hue of green especially about someone I don't even know. But at last the Hulk coloring will remain on my face when people will tell me of their or others birthing problems.

Saturday was the church's trunk or treat celebration, which had a bounce house on the lawn who had the funding or donated that. It was awesome! Peanut fall on the cement trying to walk on a downward slope and got a goose egg on his head. After a good cry was better. We left the party to go to downtown trick or treating which bought a load of candy which we got the Ghostly Dots Movie theater sized from Lola's sugar rush. We shopped and enjoyed the time. After we went to another mall area to trick or treat which was fun to see all the costumes. They even had a dog costume contest.
After that shopping and event we went to the Victorian Halloween celebration in 1860s style at the museum which was the funniest for us. Peanut was chopping on this tiny apple from my friend's apple tree and we went bobbling for apples and through out his tiny one which he cried over until he saw the huge granny smith apple and devoured it. Well it was great to get the candy, Peanut loved it! That is all for now!
