Spatulatta Enchiladas

Lauren made dinner tonight. She made enchiladas from her new birthday cookbook. We invited Dana, Shep and Emma over to enjoy them too since both of our men are out of town for a couple days. (Matt is doing some business development in Jacksonville, FL among other places.) Lauren had a fun time making them and would run to check the oven every 2 minutes to see how they looked. She sure ate a lot too and she even knew they were veggie enchiladas. This might be some sort of little trick to get the kids to eat more. =let them cook the food=

Tyler really enjoyed playing with Shep even though Shep is 6 yrs old. He can do no wrong in Tyler's eyes and he just cracks up at everything he does. Tyler let Shep play with his beloved trains but when Emma went to grab for one Tyler drew the line. I had to let him know that sharing is nice and fun.

Earlier today I caught Tyler playing with one of the toy telephones. He would put it to his ear and say "Hello" and then he'd say "Hey". He said this over and over again. "Hello.....Hey" and there's no mistaking it since it's clear as day. Now that I think of it both Matt and I say this quite often when we answer the phones. Better be careful with what other things we say now that we have two little sponges listening in.

Tomorrow Lauren has her 4 year old check-up and most likely will get a shot or two. Last year she didn't cry and now I think she's going to be very nervous trying not to cry again. Keep her in your thoughts.
