Friday Foto 2011.11.04
Yay! I'm not too late for my Friday Foto :-) I'm helping out my BFF's annual Inspire Women's event. It has been my joy and privilege to spend this weekend escorting the guest singer Damaris Carbaugh and her husband Rod. Such a wonderful couple!!! Hopefully I'll get a pic of them before they head back home tomorrow.
In the meantime, here's my pic o' the week...Benjamin at our church's Fall Festival this past Monday. He was my little lobster ;-)
Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Friday Foto 2011.10.28
A few weeks ago we took B to Dewberry Farms in Brookshire, Texas. It was his first time to a pumpkin patch. It was the first time for his parentals as well ;-)
We met up with friends and family and it was a really lovely time. I think B would enjoy this place more when he's a little older but for the most part he had a good time. That is until it was time for the requisite "pumpkin patch picture". I mean, that's the while point of going to the pumpkin patch isn't it? For the uber cute photo ops?
Well, here he is with his buddies in their little costumes. Best. Pumpkin patch picture. Ever. (as seen on my FB page)
Happy Friday everyone!!!

Another addiction
Okay, he really doesn't have addictions. He's only 10 months old. He does however love him some Kim's Magic Pop. It's a naturally healthy snack made from wheat, brown rice, and corn. I see them making it everyday at our local HEB. One day, while picking up some groceries, I forgot to bring snacks or a toy for B to keep him occupied while shopping. The Magic Pop lady was making some samples so I figure why not let B try it out. I'd seen so many other moms giving it to their little wee ones as well. So I gave him a sample. Three returns to the sample tray later, I just picked up a a bag and put it in our cart.
Turns out this stuff is great! Keeps him pretty occupied while he's waiting for me to warm up his food. I think he enjoys holding onto it as well as the texture and taste. I found it not so bad tasting myself. I accidentally picked up a cheddar flavored bag one time and it reminded me of a healthy Cheeto puff. And I do love me some Cheetos. I digress.
In the beginning I would break these wafers into quarters to give to B. But lately I just give him the whole thing. I think he likes that even more. And it's kind of funny to see him eating something that's as big as his face.
My husband worried that it was becoming a habit to give B these at almost every meal. But each wafer is only 15 calories. No fat, nothing really bad about them at all that I can tell from the nutrition label. And it doesn't seem to spoil B's appetite because he still eats all of his regular meals. But still, DH calls it Crack Pop. Whatevs. It's B's latest addiction and I'm okay with a healthy addiction. At least for now. ;-)

It's been a long week for us here in the Park home but now it's finally Friday. Benjamin has been fighting his first virus this week. Two days of fever followed now by the third day of a rash all over his upper body. And through it all he was still his same old self...playful, alert, curious. He ate well and napped well throughout the day. His nights were a little off and he woke up at least once a night, it seemed, just wanting to nurse for a bit and then he went right back to sleep. I thank God for my little boy and how incredibly strong the Lord has created him. Here's our Friday Foto...taken on day two of his fevers. What a little trooper :-)
Have a happy Friday everyone!
Have a happy Friday everyone!

Latest addiction
I'm not a huge cold desserts fan. Unlike my husband who can eat a pint of ice cream a day, I don't particularly ever crave that. Nor do I crave frozen yogurt...although a friend and I recently tried Yogurtland and it was DELISH. So when Rita's Ice Custard opened up recently by our home, I didn't think much about it at all. Dear hubby, on the other hand, was informed by a colleague on the east cost that that place was "so friggin' awesome" that we should try it ASAP.
Our lazy bones didn't try it out until last week (they've been open since this past summer)...and now I am HOOKED. I've had 4 (!) gelatini's in this past week. Ridiculous goodness I say. What is a gelati? It's their creamy custard layered with their Italian ice then custard on top again. Smoothest Italian ices in the freshest yummiest flavors. Had I known about this before I probably would have been there every week this past summer. Oh man. So good.
Did I mention I've had 4 of these in less than a week? I must stop. But you must try it if you haven't already. http://www.ritasice.com/
Below is a pic of my latest fix that I had last night. Vanilla custard with fresh watermelon Italian ice. Ahhh....
