Moon over my Abby

My poor sweet Abby has been scarred for life. The other day I was in a huge hurry to get out the door. I had just finished doing Jillian's hair in my bathroom and while I was doing her hair Abby was picking through the earrings that she could wear. I still needed to take a shower and was focused on getting everything done and getting out the door. I took Jillian off the counter shooed her out of the bathroom, went back in, shut the door, and walked toward the toilet while pulling my pants down. All of the sudden I heard a little voice behind me calmly and quietly saying, "mom, should I go out?"

I spun around realizing that I had forgotten that Abby was in the room. I had completely mooned her. I quickly started trying to pull up my pants. Abby looked at me while backing out of the bathroom with a mortified expression on her face.

I started shaking with laughter and, while holding onto my pants with one hand, shut the door behind her. After I had gone to the bathroom and pulled up my pants, I went out of my bedroom and looked down the hall. Abby was sitting in the bathroom at the other end of the hall staring off into space. I looked at her, and upon seeing the dejected expression on her face, knew she was officially scarred.

"Abby" I said, "you don't need to be embarrassed, it is me that should be embarrassed."

She just looked at me, blinked, and shook her head. This, of course, just sent me into more bouts of laughter.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

Mmmm, Chocolate!

I have said before that I love photography. My other love is children and my favorite thing to photograph is children. I love capturing their innocent moments. My kids have gotten pretty good at ignoring the camera although Rachael taught Jillian how to say cheese (when the camera was pointed at her) when she was still a baby. Last night I made homemade brownies. They were so good and so easy to make. Of course the kids got to lick the mixing spoons. Since I have so many kids they have to take turn on who gets to lick the spoons though. This time it was the older kids turn. Jillian, being the baby and totally spoiled, still got a utensil to lick. She was so adorable with the spatula that I had to grab the camera.
