Food Fest Round 2

Items consumed during the first half:
french onion dip w/Ruffles
green onion dip w/carrots
guacamole a la Striker w/tortilla chips
salsa con queso w/tortilla chips
meatballs with tomato sauce
meatballs with chili sauce and grape jelly (SO good!)
lil smokies in a blanket
potato skins (courtesy of TGI Fridays)
mozzarella sticks w/ marinara (courtesy of TGI Fridays)

I've spent most of my time in the kitchen, but I know the score is 10-6 Colts. None of the commercials have been that great, but I have high expectations for the second half.

Food Fest Round 1

When it comes to sporting events, I tend to eat my way through them. The Super Bowl is of course the most grand of all food fests related to sporting events.

I decided to start the day off with Pilsbury Cinnamon Rolls, which prompted the question: How do you eat your cinnamon rolls? Striker is a biter (pictured). I am an unroller, saving the gooey center for my last bite (not pictured, because it wasn't until I'd devoured mine that I thought to take a picture).

Daddy Plays Hockey

And Oma and Opa feed the boys.

First Outing!

Friday Striker attended a practice session for today's PBA Regional Tournament. I decided that this would make an excellent first outing for the boys and I. I'd intended to fly solo and meet Striker there, but was a little worried about the additional logistics due to the rain, so Auntie B came along too.

It was rather uneventful except for traffic on the way there. The boys pretty much slept the whole time.

20 Questions

Today was the 2 month doctor visit for the boys. Striker took the morning off to come with me since there was paperwork and a need to get there half an hour early to process everything...sigh.

First I'd like to mention that even Tony was big enough to no longer need blanket padding in his car seat...this makes outings MUCH easier, so expect that we'll be out and about now...YAY!

Of course all outings are met with games of 20 Questions. I really need to get better at answering ridiculous questions like:

Are they twins?
Are they both girls?

Please note the blue infant carriers...and complete absence of pink or purple. I expect to be asked if they are both boys or if they are identical (due to a last minute spit up issue, they do match today).

Anyhow, they took their 5 shots like champs and both measured 22 inches. Alex weighs 8 pounds 14 ounces. Tony weighs 8 pounds 1 ounce and plans to pass up his brother in the next 2 months. I wonder where he gets his competitiveness from? ;)

The 'Pile'

My sister is not a cook or baker, but has recently been making attempts at both. She can cook: grilled cheese, mac n cheese, pancakes, and spaghetti with garlic bread (the latter is a recent accomplishment which required BBM tutorials). She can bake: cupcakes, cake, and pumpkin cheesecake streusel. You might have notice the cheese and cake themes there?

Tonight she sent me this picture and we had the following conversation via BBM (not on a Droid):
Me: Omelet?
Sissy: ‎​You could say that...more like just a pile
Me: LOL it's a start.
Sissy: Shades is proud of my pile! (Please note: Shades CAN cook)
Me: I was impressed
Sissy: ‎​Ooo!!! I think this should be a blog

I aim to please....

Hidden Camera?

I swear there was a hidden camera in our bedroom because this could easily be Striker and Alex.


This post brought to you by sleeping twinfants and Queen B's request...she refused to Google, but suggested that I blog it. Sigh.
