Bubbles, Fishies and Ponies

Okay, I have to preface this post with the disclaimer that is the type of post only a mother could love.


I'm writing this for two reasons:
Number 1. It's funny and the kind of thing I won't remember unless I write it down
Number 2. Someday we can use this to embarrass Aspen and Journey!



As you can see, Aspen and Journey have a lot of fun playing together. Since Aspen hates to do anything alone, he has created a few code words for things when he wants Journey to come join him.
Ponies! - Anytime Aspen wants Journey to go to the basement with him he yells, "Ponies! Want to go see Ponies?" Apparently, they pretend that there are ponies down there that Journey can play with.
Bubbles! - This means that Aspen is peeing and he wants Journey to come watch (did I mention he hates doing anything alone?)
Fishies! - Also a bathroom term...and you can probably guess what it means knowing what Bubbles is...

Weekly Menu Plan

Okay, for the few of you who read my blog, just ignore this. I used to post my weekly menu plan at my savings blog, but now that we've been taking a break, I realized that I missed doing so. I get many of my dinner ideas from various places online, and forget where I found them unless I have a link to look up. Also, I like to look back on previous weeks to get ideas.

So, like I said, ignore this. It's just for me

Monday: Morocan Chicken stew w/ sweet potatoes, couscous, salad

Tuesday: Indian Butter Chicken, rice, salad (didn't have this last week)

Wednesday: Rotisserie Chicken Wraps

Thursday: dinner at mom's

Friday: Seared tuna, coconut rice, salad

Saturday: Ministrone w/ collard greens & white beans, homemade bread
