Warning Look Before You Smell!

OK So this week I had the opportunity to go up to Alamo and Take photos of Windmill for there new website it was a lot of work but challenging and fun. Grandpa volunteered to take care of Paige for me so I could work. What a grate grandpa! On Tuesday afternoon I had to go back up and shoot just a few more photos of cabin number 7 because some of the photos I took on Monday were a little blown out because of the afternoon sun. When I got back to the house I heard water running in the bathroom which in our world means Paige had a blow out and I mean this girl has them all the time. I found the poop covered clothes and dipper on the table and proceeded to take care of the mess. Dad came in to tell me that Paige was playing really nice in the highchair but then became fussy so he pick up Paige to smell her back with out looking and received a Big Surprise! My poor dad got poo all over he's noes and mouth, Paige had blow out so bad it went threw two layers of clothing. Need less to say I think my dad has learned to Look Before You Smell.
Sorry no photos this time:)

Mondays.............:)


Today has been a really productive day so fare. I got up at 7 AM this Morning......! (Witch is a big accomplishment for me not a morning person) Pumped while Ben feed Paige, got dressed, had breakfast, Feed Paige her rice cereal, Went and worked out but there was a Man on the elliptical machine so I had to improvise :(. Picked up our mail, took a shower, Kissed Ben good bye as he was headed to school. Paige was taking a nap during all this time, so I cleaned my room MADE MY BED! Put Paige's clothes in the washer. Paige woke up; I folded towels and soaks while she played with the basket. Then stared our bread in the machine, had lunch together, she played on the flour with my shoe that girl loves unconventional toys. Feed Paige witch turned into nape number 2, played on the computer, talked on the phone with Connie and put my bread in the oven to bake few what a day so fare.
If you’re looking for a good wheat Bread recipe hear it is
SWEET WHEAT BEARD
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup honey
1 cup whole wheat flour
1-3/4 cups white bread flour
1 pkg. yeast
Directions:
1. Put ingredients into pan as manufactures suggests
2. Push start
3. **Note** I put this in my bread machine just to mix it and let it raise. Then I take it out and Make it into a loaf and let it rise until double in bulk. Bake it at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. To keep the crust soft I spread soft butter over the top when it comes out of the oven.
4. **Tip** if you put the oil in first, then the honey in the same measuring cup, the honey slides right out.
5. **Note** this makes only one loaf if you want 2 you need to double it

I found this recipe on the internet along time ago but for some reason I cant find the link.
