Halloween and Meringues...

This is my monkey at Halloween! He did great, was pulling on my hand and saying, "Mommy, AIGHT!" to get me to rush to the next house with lights. He knew those were the houses with the candy. We got the cool knight costume from Wal-mart for $14! I am such a Walmart mom!

I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I CAN BAKE *Dora the explorer, "The Map Song"*

I had a success after the third attempt at making meringues. They are weight watcher friendly but a real pain to make. The bowl and beaters go in the freezer, the egg whites have to be room temperature, you add the sugar one tablespoon at a time...its hard, but I did it!!! The batch I made I added cocoa powder and almond extract, yummy!

This weekend has been going great. J and I had a snuggle last night in front of a basketball game, I went down to the market today with KC to approve Kenny's engagement ring, got a new Eddie Bauer shirt that was on major clearance sale for $11, and now my Sweetie is in the next room making homemade spaghetti sauce for dinner! I also cleaned the house this morning and got two loads of laundry done. I ROCK!!! Tomorrow there is going to be a ton of loafing and playing with the boy. Acutally we had a good time this afternoon with him. We took him to the park and let him run around on the slides and jungle gym. He is now saying new words everyday. The latest include, "bumble bee", *"pick", "vroom", and "milk".

Anyway, gotta go fold some of the aforementioned laundry.

Caio for now!

* "Pick" comes from every time he goes pee-pee on the potty he gets to "pick" a piece of candy from his Halloween stash. He has been driving J and I batshit by peeing every ten minutes and acting like its the best day of his life then expecting candy. We have had to deny him a couple time due to lack of quantity. Three drops doth not merit reward! :)
