Cooking with Mom

I recently subscribed to the new magazine by Highlights called High Five which is for preschoolers.  I really love this magazine and so does Reagan.  It only takes us about two nights to get through it, wish it was longer, but we both enjoy the stories.  At the end of each issue there is a kid friendly recipe.  This month it was for cinnamon critters.  Reagan asked if we could make them the night before.  I said yes and of course she didn't forget when she got home.  I love how easy it was to make and that she could help with all the steps.  Even better was that they tasted fantastic!!!

Park with Madison

It's very rare that I am able to spend time with just Madison.  I tried on Madison's birthday to keep her at home with me but Reagan cried for two hours at school for me to come get her.  Today, Andy took Reagan with him to her soccer game and it gave me a chance to take Madison to the park.  She walked the entire way and almost the entire way home.  I still have to urge Reagan to walk so I was shocked when she kept walking without whining.  I knew she wanted to go to the park even though she didn't say it because she was determined to get there.  It was so cute as I asked her if she wanted to turn around and she kept saying, "no, mama."  She quit on her stroller so I was left to carry it.  Once at the park she played on everything.  Her favorite is the swing.  She could swing forever I am convinced.  She did great!  She even didn't throw a fit when I told her it was time to go.  A big plus in my book and one of the reasons why we don't visit the park more is due to the fits that Reagan has had in the past.  What a great day with my little one who is growing up so fast.


"Sit down mama, sit down."  My reply, "Sorry Madison, mommy is too big."
