Jingle Bells and Super Bowl




We got invited to our neighbors super bowl party this past weekend. I had some of these football pretzels and threw in a rolo between them. Fun super bowl treat. Just in case you haven't already seen how to do it on pintrest, here ya go: Place the pretzels on a cookie sheet with a rolo on top. Bake at 350 for 5 minutes. Pull out of oven and place another pretzel on top. Cool and eat!

As for the Jingle bells part of the title....Blake has been singing the "jingle all the way" part of the song tonight for some reason. It was pretty funny. He just gets "twoier" and "twoier" every day. Nathan luckily has started phasing out of his grumpiness and has gotten really really enjoyable. When something happens (that he would usually throw a total fit about) that is not in his favor, he responds with a calm response or just deals with it. This has been going on now for about a month. Longest stretch of him acting this pleasant way probably since he was 18 months old! He is also really picking up reading level 1 books. I am really starting to like this age/phase which he is in.

Alex has only one day left of his CNA clinical and then has 3 days left of class instruction. I think he is excited. He has truly gained a great appreciation for all the hard work those CNA's do. In case some of you don't know, Alex is taking a CNA class as part of his training to become a skilled nursing home administrator.

  1. I have been enjoying Adara at age 4 1/2. We have ur moments, but they are fewer and farther between than a year ago. Whew!

    And for Alex -- hooray on your training for CNA!
    I'll tell all my friends that they shuld go play
    In your nursing home when it's the end of the day
    Of their lives.

    Cuz as long as you've gotta be in a nursing home, wouldn't it be nice to have alex tucker there with you?

  2. I do try to make anyone stay enjoyable. I dance, sing and do both at the same time!
