Watch What I Can Do!

An Overheard Conversation...

...between Andrew and his friend, Lakely:

Lakely: "It's really cool that you like Star Wars and you have Star Wars shirts and a Star Wars lunch box."

Andrew: "Yeah, it's from my Nana. She loves me."

Do You See The Resemblance?

A couple of days after the 4th of July, I found these cute little Americana rag dolls at Marshall's on clearance for $5. I thought they'd look great in our Americana family room, so I snatched them up.

Logan really likes them and, for some reason, calls them "the girls." He is constantly taking them down and playing with them even though I tell him that they are just for decoration and not to play with.
A couple of days ago, I was putting the dolls back up on the mantel for the millionth time, when Andrew said, "Did you buy those dolls because they look like you and your Mommy?"
I was a little confused. "What?"
"Didn't you notice they look just like you and Nana?!"

HaHaHa! They really do! Do you see the resemblance?

Bathing Beauty

We went to Kiddie Kandids this week for Hannah's 6-month portraits. I just couldn't resist dressing her in her darling ruffle-bum swimsuit!

Silly Nana!

Wow! Nana is funny. I would just like to share a funny story that happened this weekend. Yesterday for Sunday dinner, Nana made fried chicken and biscuits. As she got the biscuits out of the oven, she exclaims "What is wrong with these biscuits?!" The last few times she has made biscuits, they have been really dense; not fluffy like they should be. Nana thought she was loosing her touch with cooking. Not so. This morning, we decided to have breakfast burritos for breakfast. I got to work making the tortillas, but couldn't find any baking powder. Here is the conversation that followed:

Jenny: "Mom where is the baking powder?"
Nana: "Right there on the counter."
Papa: (As he walks past the counter.) "No it's not. This is corn starch."
Nana: "No, it's baking powder."
Papa: (Lifting up the can.) "No, it's corn starch."
Jenny: (Looking at the can.) "It's corn starch."
Nana: "Well that explains why my biscuits didn't turn out."

Ha ha! She had used corn starch in the biscuits instead of baking powder. It reminds me of the church video called Nora's Christmas. It's the one where the crazy old lady is making brownies for her neighbors and uses salt instead of sugar. Yum!

Silly Nana! Ü

(In Nana's defense, both the baking powder and corn starch were the same brand. She just read the brand and assumed it was the baking powder. I also thought "Clabber Girl" only made baking powder.)
