First Day of School

By

Both of the older kids started school today! Danielle is a Junior this year and drove herself to school this morning. She has Health, English, Adv. Biology, Mixed Media Art, and Math. She is also thinking about joining the year book team or whatever you call it.


Dylan is a Kinder-kid and I dropped him off. Luckily the teacher planned on parents staying around and we got to see a little of what the day is going to be like including story time and the Pledge of Allegiance.. His teacher is Mrs. O (Overland) and she seems like a great match for Dylan. Man those kids sure have a lot of energy. It sounds like he is going to learn some Spanish too since there are a couple of kids in his class that don't know much English yet.



Dylan sits at the blue table and is right between two girls (everyone is boy girl boy girl). The class has 26 kids and exactly half are boys. Hopefully he makes some good friends :)
His teacher also made care packages for the parents including a cute little note, kleenex, candy and tea.
The last picture is of what Lincoln thinks about having Mommy home all to himself. He and I have already cleaned the house, taken the dog for a walk and worked on some MOPS stuff. Maybe later we will go into town

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

By
Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...
