a recipe I just came across.

Good thing the Rooster and I are going grocery shopping this afternoon... this recipe looks FABULOUS!


1 8 count tube refrigerated crescent rolls
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375

Unroll the dough and separate it into 8 triangles

Place about 10 chocolate chips on the bottom third of each triangle and roll the dough up around the chocolate

Transfer the croissants to a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easy clean up if you want)

Bake until gold brown - 12 to 14 min. Server warm or at room temperature

stupid allergies

So last week, we tried going to the playground a few times. But the poor thing has HORRIBLE allergies. She was fine in the morning and then after we got home, she was a BEAR! Snotting all over the place, sneezing, swollen eyes. We try not to give her too much benadryl because it knocks her out, but sometimes she just needs it so she can breathe when she is asleep!

As for our weekend... it was fairly uneventful. We hung out at the house on Saturday... church on Sunday. I did get a few cute pictures when we went outside for a couple of minutes yesterday! She does great sitting up outside, but will not do it on our regular floors inside! Picky girl.

Wednesday night after the park... poor thing. Allergies SUCK!
Ummmm mom. Did you see THAT weed?
Big smiles!
Hi, I'm cute... aren't I?

for all of you who used to love Hanson

you can get a good chuckle out of this... thanks mollie :)


Disclaimer... No, I do NOT like Hanson. It was a joke on my mommy message board.

1 week from today

I will see Chuck Norris up close and personal.

Ok, maybe not up close and personal... but I will be seeing him in real life.

You're all jealous. I know it.

Before I go to bed.

We went to the park today for a little bit. Riley was GROOOUUUUCHY when we got home. I think it's because of the pollen. Poor snot faced little girl! Here is her opinion on life today...

Just scoping out all of the other kids...

Hmmm... let me see those shorts little girl on the big swing.

"OMG MOM! Did you see that little girls Romper? Nobody over 3 months wears something like THAT!"

For those that are not on the up and up of internet lingo - OMG is Oh My Gosh. (Riley waves hi at all of her grandparents reading this)

She's a wiggly one!

She's movin' and groovin' folks. Soon enough she'll be crawling... AHHH!

BIG NEWS

no... I'm not pregnant again. I'm not even thinking about that for a long time.

This is bigger than that.

I'm walking in graduation this year! It only took me 5.5 years to finally graduate and 6.5 years to walk across that stage. But dang it... it is happening. I'm finally going to walk across a stage with a cap and gown. For the first time in my LIFE.

So, if you are in Lynchburg May 10, 2008... feel free to come and hear Chuck Norris speak and then watch me walk. It'll be the best day of your life. Ok maybe not, but it'll be a fun time. Maybe we'll have a cookout that night.

(If you don't know the whole story... I never graduated high school, nor did I get a GED. Graduating college is a BIG DEAL for me. I've never worn a cap and gown - not even for pictures.)
