A few things on a Thursday

Tyler is growing so much lately.

He doesn't talk yet, but he and I have a way of communicating with each other.  I can usually figure out what he wants.  Today he wanted to eat popcorn from a bowl with a spoon.

That cute face wins me over every time!  :)

Whatever germ Brett had last week has spread.  Luckily we had a few days of wellness so we could celebrate Brett's birthday.  Grant came down with it on Tuesday.  Tyler on Wednesday.  Now Camille has it, but with a fever like Brett.  She slept a lot today.

The recycling truck came by and these little feet all went running to watch out the window.

 I've had this recipe saved to my Pinterest account for a while and I finally made it.  It's a keeper.  I think I could've used a better caramel in the middle.  I just used the square Kraft caramels.  In my opinion they would be really awesome with a softer caramel.  Maybe even a Rolo?  And I skipped adding the sea salt on top.  I'm not a HUGE fan of salted caramel and I felt the pretzels added enough salty flavor to make these a nice sweet and salty treat.

We are in the middle of our fall break and don't have any amazing plans to speak of.  It kind of snuck up on us and now that the kids have been sick I think we're going to keep sticking around here and sneaking in little outings when the kids are feeling better.
We checked out the movie Newsies from the library yesterday and the kids loved watching that for the first time.  Sometimes I forget that the library has tons of movies to choose from, and they're free!  It just takes a little more forethought, but you can't beat it.  Plus our library is so close that it's really quite convenient.
