Isaac started with this:

...decided that that just wasn't fun enough, so be kept going...

This was his final piece of artwork.
And yes, it is EVERYWHERE you think it is.
Yeah. Great.
(Side note: it lightened pretty easily with baby wipes...)

Scrumptious Saturday

Ok, So add this:
Plus this:
And you will get this:
Delicious Chocolate Cake-in-a-Mug

I am sure that some of you may have heard of this... you take a mug that is microwave-safe, add some chocolate-cake-like ingredients, microwave and TADA!!! Chocolate Cake perfect for one!

Here is the recipe for all you chocoholics out there:
- Your favorite coffee mug (microwave safe)
- 4 T. flour
- 4 T. sugar
- 2 T. cocoa powder
- 2 T. sour cream
- 3 T. milk
- 3 T. oil
- splash of vanilla
- 3 T. chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 T. walnuts (or other nut, also optional)

Put all the dry ingredients into your mug and mix well. Add the sour cream, mix well then add the milk, oil and vanilla, mix well. If you are adding them, add the chocolate chips and nuts and lightly mix them in. Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes (more or less depending on your microwave). Let it sit for at least 2 minutes and then devour! It is big enough to share, if you are willing - but it is wonderful for an after the kids are in bed snack!

This recipe is a variation from this web site (thanks Jenn!). I read all the comments on the page and used their suggestions... Here are some more suggestions for those adventurous souls:
- white chocolate chips
- caramel sauce
- cranberries or any other berry

I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I have!

Despite a lingering migraine...

I managed to get something done today!

I called my (hopefully) new neurologists office and my primary Dr's office and sorted out some referral misunderstandings.

I talked to my lawyer... yeah. Again.

I called Dept of Child Services, trying to sort out some mistakes.

I e-mailed several companies about walking boots, to try find one that will last longer than my last 4 have. And actually received a response already from one!

Took C&J to their counselling appts.

Bought a new headlight for my van.

Bought C new shoes because evidently they can't keep shoes longer than a few months (but found a good deal!).


Concider this my way of patting myself on the back! I am such a procrastinator that I feel like I rarely get anything but house stuff done... So despite having a migraine and 3 boys that just can't seem to get along, I ran errands, made calls and e-mails and just plain accomplished SOMETHING!!!
