Our Valentine's Day Food

Violet had Blueberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes with bacon.

Dinner was steak, olive cheese bread, twice baked potatoes, and a salad that didn't get a picture.

Twice Baked Potatoes really aren't hard to make. Just time consuming. They are delicious but I don't think I have the metabolism or energy to make these more than once a year. I baked them for an hour. Then scooped out the potato and mashed it up with green onions, butter, cheese, milk, and bacon. Then put them back in the skins and baked for 20 more minutes. mmmm!

Olive Cheese Bread from thepioneerwoman.com. I really liked this. I love olives! I froze half of it to bake another day. Jaley has already called dibs on it!

We opened our engagement bottle of Champagne from the inlaws. That was good too ;)


Then we just hung out around the house. I went to Target to search through the 75 % off stuff. Went home empty handed. (which is a good thing) Violet crawled on top of the table about 3 times today. I had to put her in her time out chair a couple of times. Lately she has been dumping her entire bowl of snacks on the carpet. Today it was hundreds of baby goldfish. So, she sat in her time out chair for a whole 50 seconds. I think she's supposed to sit in it for one minute since she is one years old according to the british nanny on tv. She's at "that age". Her new word is "NO WAY!" I never say that to her so I'm not sure where she got that from.

When it's time to change her diaper she says NO WAY and runs off. Basically that is her response to anything we say to her. It's really funny and we try our best not to laugh in front of her. Picture a one year old looking you square in the eye saying NO WAY in a serious voice because you need to put clothes on her! She even furrows her brows.

I guess our life is about to get really interesting now that she's got a mind of her own ;)
