Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone! 

I will get a Halloween post up as soon as possible with the most adorable Woody that you have ever laid eyes on.

Science Experiments

I was reading a book to Landon and in the book Spider Man and the Hulk were conducting science experiments of some sort. They mixed blue and yellow vials together to get a green potion. Landon asked if he could make some too. I wracked my mommy brain real quick and told Landon that we could in fact make green potion. I filled two cups with water. Yellow food coloring was added to one and blue food coloring to the other one. I had Landon mix the two together. 

Landon found the end result to be rather tasty. I didn't have the heart to break it to him that it was just regular water!

 

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Day....

after day....

Landon had to sit like this at the front door because of all of the rain. Every now and then there would be a slight break in the storms and he could go outside for a  quick minute. 

 After about the fourth day of straight rain I couldn't take seeing him sit by the door any longer so he was allowed out with the use of an umbrella. Sometimes you just have to play in the rain!

Lotion Mayhem

 When you give a child an inch, they take a mile....

This mess that Landon got himself into reminded me of this post. Someone really should be watching this kid during the day! This time Landon upgraded from markers and got himself into a much harder to clean mess. He managed to get almost an entire container of lotion all over his body. Even after being bathed he was still incredibly oily. I decided to keep him busy the remainder of the evening and he made a pumpkin. 

Leftover Chicken Solution

I throw out so much food at the end of the week that it almost always makes me want to cry. I hate how much food I have to constantly throw out. There's only so much that Landon and I can eat at dinner time and it's so hard for me to cook for 1 1/2. The one thing I hate throwing out the most is leftover rotisserie chicken. After two days or so I am having to throw out at least half of a chicken. It's so wasteful, but you can only eat the same chicken for so long without getting tired of it. Every now and then I will take the chicken and put taco seasoning on it and freeze it for whenever I am in the mood for tacos (Landon won't eat them). I finally came across a solution that Landon absolutely loves. I pull the chicken apart and mix it with barbecue sauce. I then take crescent rolls and roll them out. I place the chicken onto the crescent rolls and wrap them up in a pigs in a blanket fashion. I will usually top my portions with cheddar cheese before rolling them up. Landon devoured them. I couldn't believe how much he loved these chickens in a blanket. It took me by surprise because I've made him pigs in a blanket before and he has never eaten them. I'm so happy that I finally found a solution for all of the left over chicken that I usually throw out. The only problem is the fact that I can't open up the crescent roll canisters. I have a serious phobia when it comes to those things. I wish I could say I was kidding, but I'm not. I can't open those things without having a panic attack leading up to the popping sound. It's to the point where I buy rolls in resealable bags and pay outrageous prices for them. I just have to always plan on making these for Landon when someone else is around, which unfortunately is not very often. It's just more of an incentive for me to get back out there and find a husband...it'd be nice to have a biscuit canister popper around! And an extra plus if he cleaned the bathrooms and put the laundry away! That's not asking for too much, is it?!
