Jesse and Mama Bakin' in the Kitchen

Jesse sure is getting to be a little helper. I bake at least once a week and he always wants to throw the ingredients in the bowl for me. Every time I pull out the flour, he knows it's time to get his step ladder and help Mommy. We make cookies and it's always, "I want some dough!" In fact, he eats more of the dough, than the baked cookies. All he does with the cookies is lick the frosting off - delightful!

Happy Valentine's Day! Tis not my favorite of holidays, but I do love ya all, and the candy for this holiday is fabulous!

Some lovey dovey quotes:

"True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well being of one's companion."

- Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

"And wuv, true wuv, will fowow you foweva, so tweasure your wuv..." Clergyman from "The Princess Bride"

"One is very crazy when in love."

- Sigmund Freud

Childhood Memories

Nothing really exciting or new is going on in our lives, except ofcourse Jesse making us laugh. I spend so much time watching children's television, I began to reminisce about my own childhood favorites. Sesame Street was on in our house, sometimes twice a day. It's changed a little since I watched back in the early 1980's. Elmo was just being introduced when I was growing out of watching the show. Snuffy was just a supposed imaginary friend of Big Bird's, and then they had the big reveal that he was indeed real. I can't believe Luis, Maria and Gordon are still on show today. Jesse likes the Count and Cookie Monster the best, I think. I've included some of my favorites from the 70's and 80's for your viewing pleasure. Mostly the songs inbetween the muppet skits. Please scroll down for some Youtube videos, and let me know if you remember these classics!
