Fun With GMa Barb

My mom has been in Oklahoma with us this week. Here's just a few pictures of all the wild carousing and partying we've been doing with TJ and the old lady.

Hi Dad!

One more post for today, because the other one had no pictures:

1.800.222.1222

This is the number of the Poison Control Center. Every parent should have this number. If you don't already have it on your fridge or cabinet or programmed into your phone, take a moment to do so now. TJ gave me a scare today when I found him chewing on the child-proof lid of a pill bottle, the empty bottle clutched in his little fist. Remember the joke about how if you can't get a child-proof lid to open, just ask a little kid to do it for you? Apparently true. A quick perusal of the area left 3 pills unaccounted for. The nice people at the Poison Control Center assured me that he would have a bad tummy ache, but would be otherwise fine (I later found two of the missing three pills; I hope the dog ate the missing one, as I'd rather him have a tummy ache than TJ).

Pumpkin Dip

Be the favorite guest at a fall event with this yummy dip:

5 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. canned pumpkin
1 Tbsp. maple syrup (the recipe calls for 2Tbsp, but I think that would have been too sweet)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
1/2 c. plain greek yogurt (or regular yogurt that has been strained to thicken it)

Cream all ingredients together until well-blended. Core and wedge about 6 apples, arrange on a platter, and off you go. You'll be sure to be invited back.

Notes from HQ

So ladies, take note: Ann Taylor has a couple of little black dresses an extra 40% off an already good sale price. That means you can score a sweet, classic, MODEST, awesome little black dress for for $59.99 (as opposes to the starting price of $165-170). Just don't show up at the same party as me in your new frock. Oh, and this one is really pretty, too.

I've had lots and lots of people ask me about the Wheely Cow and Bug. The Wheely Bugs are made by Prince Lionheart. They are sold in specialty toy stores, and on-line. Google Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug and tons of results and stores will come up. I've had plenty of friends who have felt that the small size is too small, but we've liked ours tons. I've seen them go on sale for as little as $30, but only when the store is going out of business.

Cheers, and happy shopping.
