What a slacker-blogger I've been this week! Little guy has been feeling under the weather since last week so we've been home all week pretty much. I'm so thankful that he was pretty chill all week.

"Mom!  Let me cover up a little bit at least!  how embarrasing!"

"There, that's a bit more civilized."

Happy Friday, everyone! 

Dancing - part 2

Someone really enjoyed the half-time show during this past Sunday's Superbowl:



Coming up...more baby steps :)

I'm really loving Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength nail polishes lately. Especially when they are on sale for $2. The third color I've tried is called "24 Karat" and makes me feel like I have some bling on my finger tips.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Mandoo Part Two

So, remember those dumplings I made the other day? Well those first ones were wrapped to be steamed or boiled to cook. By wrapping them in another fashion, then they are ready to be pan-fried. Both ways tasted great :-) thank goodness!

Here are my first pan-fried dumplings...success!

Cuties

Here is a pic of my cuties from this morning. Like father like son :-)

We had a very relaxed Saturday. Started with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. This was B's first time there. We hadn't been there with him b/c of the smoking section...but then found out today that they no longer have a "smoking section". Praise Jesus! Except now instead of leaving and smelling like an ashtray we smelled like smoked ham. Oh well.

After breakfast, we came home and I put B down for a nap and then hubby and I watched Moneyball. Man, that Brad Pitt is certainly a good looking man. The movie is pretty good too ;-)

I also watched My Brother is an Idiot while DH took an afternoon. And later on I took B to the park to use the swings. He missed his afternoon nap so he was pretty pooped after a bath and then dinner. I say he missed his nap but in reality he just refuse to nap. I put him down and he just never went to sleep. Oh well.

Now I'm super pooped. Going to sleep now. Sweet dreams everyone!

Mandoo

So for the very first time in my life, I'm attempting to make Korean dumplings aka mandoo. Apparently this is one of my hubby's favorite foods that I have never made. So here's to change! I hope they turn out okay. He had a sneak peek of them while I was making them and I said that I wasn't promising they would taste any good and he just said, "they look pretty." i just hope they taste as good as they look.
