Look very carefully at the above image. This is a portion of our living room AKA playroom. Yes, I know there are toys all over but if the kids are having fun, I merely require them to start learning to pick up their toys before bed. Honestly, this is a hit and miss mission, but it's there. Anyway, regarding this image: can you spot Joshua? Look as hard as you can and tell me where in this picture he is. He's there. The answer will appear at the end of today's post.

I'm baking my own bread now. It's really easy! I thought all this time that bread required a ton of work, and did I really want to throw my hat into that arena when Schwebel's Country Potato Bread is so yummy already? Well, I looked into it. I found a really fun and easy recipe! I have a recipe that takes a bit more effort from my cousin that I am going to try soon as well, but for now I am using a recipe for No-Knead Bread. It came out light and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and just delicious. That's exciting for me, as every time I learn how to bake something new, I am super impressed with my bad self. ha.

I know I haven't posted this past several days and there is a very good reason for that. I have two under two. HA! Seriously, Joshua has required a lot of extra attention this week for being purely ornery. I don't know how else to describe it. He's biting, hitting, taking things(more like snatching) and running over his sister this week. And he can't figure out why this is bad. Sigh. He also loves on her, tries to change her diaper and her clothes, gives her a bottle and shares *some* of his toys. Holley decided this week to take an assertive level of interest in some of the toys and apparently her brother doesn't like to see her scootching around and snatching a ball out of the bin or a teether.

Holley is also teething. She went at some ice chips in a mesh feeder today as if they were the last food on earth that she could ever eat. She doesn't tolerate the Tylenol well on her tummy yet, we have only gotten two doses into her that stayed in her. The typical gels or teething tablets are lactose based, so mostly, she is going through this all by herself. On top of the reflux pains, we have had some crazy days! It is fun to watch her. She has decided that a cheek is the best thing to gnaw on. And so Joshua and I during the day get some random "hugs" from her. She grabs either cheek and holds my face still, then comes in as if she wants to give me kisses. Then she proceeds to eat my flesh. It's really funny, and if she's not yelling at us, this is how she spends her day.

OK. Are you ready for the answer to our quiz from up above?
