In each tortillas, spread 1-2 Tablespoons of refried beans, and add chicken mixture. Roll up and place side by side in 9 x 13 pan.

So much to do! So little time!

Mr. C will be here before we know it. Hubby and I have been scrambling around trying to clean up the apartment and organize a bit more. I have pretty much been in the "nesting" mode for a few months now but in the past few weeks my body can't keep up with what my mind wants to do.

For right now C will be staying in our room. Here is his little space we have set up in our room and in our closet. We are going to keep the 3rd bedroom for storage or possibly A's playroom.

We also got C's new swing and the boy's new stroller this week too! The more things we get the more we get excited and it seems real! We can't wait to meet Baby C!

ONE LITTLE MONKEY....

The Dr wants me to stay off my feet as much as possible with C being so low and my pelvic pain (LOL! Yeah Right! With a toddler!) so I have really had to be creative lately when it comes to finding things for A and I to do during the day since I am becoming bigger and even more uncomfortable. So I decided we would play a new game today. He was very unsure when I started to pull all of the cushions off of the couch but it didn't take him long to start jumping, laughing and playing! He had a BLAST! "Ready... Set... GO!!!!! 1.....2.....3.... JUMP! Weeeeee!"

He knows just what he is doing.

We have not given much thought to potty training because A has not shown any signs at all. Sometimes I wonder if he will still be in diapers when he is 18. He just HATES to be changed and runs if I even think about looking at a diaper. The Dr has said this is normal. She said that most boys are not ready until 3 or 3 1/2.

Well the past two days I have been putting the special swimming diapers on him so he can swim in his little pool. Mind you this is the 1st time since last Oct he has worn these so he has no idea that they are special. Or so I thought. Tonight before going to bed he saw his pool outside and ran to the basket in the living room where I keep his diapers and dug around and grabbed one of the special diapers, brought it to me, and said, "I want to go swimming!"

Now... why or why can't he bring me a regular diaper and tell me he needs to be changed??? Ugh! Little stinker.

A few days late...

OK... so I am a few days late, but after doing our check book today and seeing how much we are throwing away on eating out, I am going to get our butts in gear and start this week!!! We have been so lazy lately. We just can't wait till next Monday.

My sweet friend Megan told me about this great site called, I'm an Organizing Junkie! . Here you can find LOTS of good ideas and recipes!

Joe's Famous Breakfast Tacos

2 to 4 potatoes chopped
4 eggs with milk and cheese
Kilbasa- (We like the spicy kind. Bacon works too.)
refried beans
tortillas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pan, put olive oil and potatoes in to fry. Cut sausage into semi thin slicesand put in with potatoes. Add olive oil as needed. Fry until potatoes are soft.Scramble eggs with a little milk and cheese.Move potatoes and sausage to the side and add eggs. Fry to the way you like and as they are close to being done mix with potatoes and sausage until done. Remove from heat when done. Heat another pan and warm up 6 to 8 tortillas. Get 6 to 8 sheets of aluminum foil. Spoon or spread refried beans inside tortillas. Add potato, sausage, and egg mixture into tortillas and fold and put into aluminum foil and wrap then put onto a pan and into the oven for 15 to 30 minutes or until warm then eat.

SO YUMMY!

Where did Spring go?

The weather has been so weird lately. It went from 50s and 60s to 90 degrees yesterday. So while we are waiting for the apartment pool to open, Hubby and I went and bought a blow up pool to put on our back porch for A. He had a blast. I am thinking of setting up a little play area back there for him with a sand and water table too. That way he can play and have his own little special place to play while I am taking care of Baby C in the living room.

Silly Little Boy!

He knows just how to make his Mama smile! This is A's new trick. Not sure where he picked it up or what made him try it but he thinks this is absolutely hilarious! He does it all the time and just laughs and laughs! :) Ahhh... to be young again. Sigh.
