Where's the baby?

What a bum.

Why won't he fall asleep like that with mommy? All I'm good for some days is diaper changing. Oh, and making sure food is on his plate. Don't forget the food.
(I'm talking about Miles here...Tanner doesn't need his diaper changed anymore.)
It's a good thing I love this kid so much, or else he'd probably be out in a snow bank. Well, not today - it's pretty cold.

:)

Business as usual

It's been business as usual at the Grimmius house in Owatonna lately. Lots of playing, singing, dancing, and eating for Miles. Even a little scooting.



Miles had a Christmas program for daycare. He did a great job saying "HO HO HO!" and jingling (and sucking on) the jingle bells. He and daddy are under the big screen. See Miles' glowing eyes?!

We visited all of the grandparents in St. Peter, where Miles relaxed and ate snacks...

and got in some quality time with Putter!
It's been pretty cold lately, so we've spent quite a bit of time inside making home videos.

Now it's time to run errands in "the cities" and pay a visit to Uncle Charlie and Auntie Angie. We'd better hurry up...more snow is on the way! Miles is warming up his snow pants and boots in case he has to take the sled to daycare on Monday morning. Hopefully he'll drop me off at work on the way.

For Charlie

For those of you who read Charlie's blog, I'm sure you enjoyed reading about his latest idea of having Meatball Wednesday. Considering his Donut Tuesday routine, it would make more sense that he'd have Donut Hole Wednesday - seems like a much tastier ball to me, but whatever. If he prefers meatier balls, so be it.

We happened to have the same meatballs in our freezer. As Chuck explained, these ain't no ordinary meatballs. They are Aidells Hawaiian style (with pineapple) chicken meatballs. Healthier than beef or pork meatballs? Perhaps. More delicious than beef or pork meatballs? Absolutely.
Chuck and Angie followed a recipe on the bag of the 'ball bag, which called for skewering the 'balls with red onion, red pepper, and green pepper. Since he didn't have any sticks for making kabobs, he just cooked up the 'balls and veggies in a little extra teryaki sauce and served the concoction over rice. That sounded like a great way to eat Aidells meatballs, and so we did...

I tried to one-up my older bro by adding mandarin oranges and sesame seeds, as well as an egg roll on the side, but his still looked better.
Next time I'm bringing my 'balls to you, Chuck!

Here was Miles' version...again, not the most appealing plate of food, but he tried it and that's all we can ask for these days. (notice that he also scored bread and banana chunks. Lucky kid.)
