Some Recent Faves

Nothing too new here in the Ellis household. We are getting over colds and having the wonderful time of transitioning Cosette down to 1 nap a day. Since we have been home so much, I thought I would share a few things that have made the days a little bit more cheery (I will not be including Cash's newfound obsession with Scooby Doo. I got him a video from the library. He loves it, but I don't. Shaggy is so annoying and now Cash asks to sleep with the door open, since he gets scared. Ugh..)

Read:

Once I Ate A Pie is the "true" confessions of thirteen different dogs. It is hilarious, especially if you do different voices for the dogs. For example, Mr. Beefy, a pug, confesses that he likes to go eat tubs of butter in the basement in private. Just a really cute book--I think Fox and I might have enjoyed it more than the kids!

Listen:

I love this album. I usually put on music while I'm cooking to keep everyone happy, and this CD does the trick. It is mellow and also dance-worthy. There is a reggae ABC that Cash loves. Just a really good CD. We love it!

Snack:

Okay, if you know me, you know I can't resist candy advertising when new flavors/editions come out! It can be called "Chicken Noodle Soup Kit Kats", and I will be all over that. I just love the novelty. The Dark Reeses have been out for a while, but we just recently tried them. They are so much better than the regular ones (especially if you have left some in your pocket all day, and they are a little melty). But they still can't beat this wonderful homemade recipe, of which I always seem to have the ingredients conveniently on hand. Yum!

Websites:
Okay, I just wanted to share this: RunPee.com is a website that lets you look up a movie and then shows you when the best time would be to go pee, so that you don't miss any good parts. Hilarious and helpful! It also tells you what you missed after you went to the bathroom, and you can download the app onto your iPhone.

Awkward Family Photos is also great for a laugh!

Enjoy!

I use RunPee.com all the time, mostly to find out if I need to stick around after the credits. Very useful.

Why did you have to put a link to that recipe?! I don't think I'll be satisfied until I try it! No, I'm sure I won't be. I love awkward family photos and I recently heard about RunPee.com. We never see movies but when we do, I always get anxious about having to pee in the middle of it (I always have to go) so I'll use it next time I see one!
