This weeks photo challenge is Escape.
I thought a lot about what ‘Escape’ means to me.
I have a lot of pictures of wonderful places I like to go. Especially places around here. My husband and I used to escape up to the mountains, when it’s nice, all the time. So I have a lot of pictures
We would just throw the dogs in the car and drive.
Now though, I find my escape in these two boys.
There is no where I want to go, if they are not there too.
Happy Shooting
I have been working on some things for a baby shower this weekend and realized I have not posted anything on Ian’s birthday party. But today is not the day for it either.
However, I did want to take a minute and post about the weekly photo challenge. This week the topic is Change.
With that in mind, it always amazes me how quickly a baby changes. One day he is a messy little squirmy thing that can hardly open his eyes and the next day he is sitting up eating food by himself.
In the blink of an eye my newborn baby has turned into a Bouncy Baby Boy.
Since we can’t get those days back, I keep trying to capture them in film and written words. That way when I am old and senile I can look back and remember.
Happy Shooting
Last Friday was Ian’s 3rd birthday!
I can’t believe three years have gone by already.
He decided to have a superhero birthday party, which was the day after his birthday.
So I spent all last week trying to get everything together.
About 12:30 am on Saturday morning, while gluing candy boxes together, my nose started running and my throat started to hurt.
Come Sunday I admitted I was sick. I have a cold.
So this week I have no plans to make dinner, I am just going to wing it.
The one thing I do know is I am going to try to make these rolls

for Easter dinner on Sunday at my moms house.
As you can tell by this picture he had a great birthday. Which I need to thank my mom for all her help with.
Thanks Mom!
I wanted to get Ian’s birthday party pictures up by now, but this stupid cold has really got me sluggish.

So this is a casserole week.
Since I started back to work, I am working four days a week. I decided Wednesdays should be my day off. Last week we were sitting at home and while the sun wasn’t shining, it wasn’t raining. I was contemplating where to take the boys to let Ian run off some energy when I noticed he had a fever.
He wouldn’t eat breakfast, and then asked for some yogurt, which I happily gave him. Come nap time we had some issues and he asked me to lie with him, so I did. He was crying and I was trying to comfort him when started throwing up.
On his pillow. On his blankets. On me. All over his bed. He just kept throwing up, and crying.
I was trying to comfort him but also let him get it all out. It was HORRIBLE!
I had to give him a shower and strip his bed, and when he was all clean he fell asleep on the couch.
He didn’t have any other episodes but held on to the fever till the next morning. In the mean time, I came down with a cold. Yep, head congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, but nothing in my tummy. Whew!
While my son was getting better, I was getting worse. Which means I did not cook the rest of the week! So you might notice that this coming Sunday I have planned the same thing as I did last Sunday because I still have the fish in the freezer. I decided to cook all casseroles this work week because I am still not really better and they are easy to plan. No thinking involved!
This weekend we spent a lot of time building our Lego City, because let’s face it, I wasn’t getting off the couch, or the floor.
Mon: Buffalo Chicken Bake
Tue: Taco Bake
Wed: Easy Beer Mac & Cheese with Chicken casserole
Thr: Sausage Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

Happy Cooking
