Look Who's 3!

My baby turned 3 today! She's no longer a baby but, a big girl, so she says. She said good-bye to her good friend, the sippy cup yesterday. Bittersweet memories! We celebrate birthday weeks, so yesterday was the first day we celebrated. We had a little party with us and David's parents. Olivia and David decorated with crepe streamers everywhere, it looks so cute! Today is the official birthday! We will go to the pumpkin patch in Medina with our good friends and have all kinds of fun I'm sure! She's so proud when we tell her that she looks 3. For some reason she thinks she has to get naked and so we can tell that she is bigger now, it's hillarious!

3. Tag 0-6 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

Here are my 6 random facts:

1. I love the smell of puppy breath. I just stick my nose right in their mouth. Oooh, I just love it. If they came out with a candle that smells like puppy breath, I'd be the first one to buy it (maybe the only one)!

2. I can not stand crumbs in my bed or my sheets wrinkled, it drives me crazy. If my sheets get messed up during the night, I get up and straighten them!

3. When I was a kid I used to mix up flee killing concotions to spray on my dogs. I would use hydrogen peroxide in the mix and so our black dog became orange for awhile.

4. I can't stand chiuahas. Our neighbor has about 20 0f them and we hear them barking all the time, drives my nuts!

5. I love Caroline's armpit,it is so cute! She has two cute freckles on it, I could just eat it!!

6. I love romance movies and HATE scarey movies. When I was a kid I would watch them so no one would make fun of me and whenever I realized we were watching a scarey movie I was already too terrified to go to my room.

Island Pear Pie

This is a recipe that I completely made up. It was invented because the kids had gone over to their Uncle's house and pick a bunch of pears. Caroline decided she wanted us to make pear soup. At first I said "Ugghh," I don't know how, then I remember we had some canned coconut milk and we could try. After we made the "soup" (consistency of pudding), I thought it might make a good pie filling.

Here's the recipe (kind of):

9 (+ -) pears, boiled until soft, then cored and chopped small

1 can coconut milk

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup raisins

3 cinnamon sticks

1/4 cup cocunut

Put all ingredients in a pan and heat on low to medium for about 30 minutes.

Add to a frozen pie shell and follow the steps on the package for putting another pie crust on top (which I messed up and didn't do), then bake according to directions.

Some Goodbyes Just Aren't That Sad!

Well, we said goodbye to 3 obnoxious, young billy goats today. Needless to say there were no tears in my eyes, for they were beginning to act like their father!

Run away now little goats, I hope you won't be cabrito tomorrow, but if you are, I hope you taste good, you little farts!

I Think I'd Like This Goat Better If He Was Cabrito!

What a day! I'm just going to say it like it is, "I hate horny billy goats!" There it is. This stupid goat jumped the fence to get to the nanny's. I had to add an extra T post to our fence, wire it and move the goats to different pens all by myself because David is out of town. Then, I do all that work and what happens, he busts through the fence. I then added lots and lots of wire around the fence posts. Oh, what a day. If it's not a stinky skunk, it's a love sick, stinky billy goat.

I had the kids pose the other day acting like they were screaming because we were having another one of " THOSE days," Dennis calls them Character building days! That's a nice way to say it.

Oh Smelly Day - We got Skunked

I was minding my own business washing laundry last night when I spotted him. I ran in to tell David my skunk was here. He ran outside and blasted him at least 5 times. The skunk was still wandering around. David ran out of ammo so he ran in to get another gun. I was supposed to stay there, evidently, and watch to see where the skunk went. I heard him coming my way, so I ran back closer to the house. We looked for that sucker for 30 minutes with the flashlight and could not find that sucker! Well, we smelled him and smelled this morining until David found him under our deck. Of course he wasn't at the edge so we could easily retrieve it. That stupid thing was in the middle. David got a long board and I looked under the deck and would tell him which way to go until he would find the skunk with the board. He pushed and pushed until the skunk fell off the cliff, 35 feet. Well, now we know he's dead!!
