Safety First!

I was on the phone, so Mike decided to put Will's new helmet on and poke me. So distracting. I finally accomplished my mission though. The Fishers came over for a gourmet dinner of Papa Murphy's pizza. Thank goodness for convection baking (two at once!). We didn't even bother sitting down. The six of us (Eric & Renee too), stood around the counter devouring pizza. We even had the yummy dessert pizza. So good. And the best news of all: Will seems to be getting over his protein allergy!!! I haven't incoroporated all dairy back in, but I haven't been very careful this week, and he's done great. Yay!! I'm one happy mama.
This is what the Fishers gave me for my birthday. I'm so excited, I've wanted one for so long! I have a ten inch skillet without a lid, so this is going to be great. Plus, now I can use the 12" burner.

This morning Sam wanted "honey bunchies of oaps" for breakfast. Last week he kept asking me for a flupe. He settled for drumsticks and a tambourine. That darn t does tend to sound like a p sometimes.

With the almost-balmy high near 40 degrees yesterday, I am now impatient for spring to come. I'm eager for it not to be below freezing all the time. I'd like to take Sam outside more, but I don't like playing in the snow when it's 25 degrees. I think we're going to go on lots of walks when it warms up!

The boys spent a few hours at Grandma & Papa's house yesterday while I got some software training. They got to play with Jane, Grandma Grace, and Grandma Tigger. Obviously there's no way I can compete with that, but it's hard not to take it personally when Sam tells me things like, "Go away, and never come back!"
