DAD makes a few dishes really well. Pot roast is one of them.

The update has pictures of browning the meat in a pressure cooker and the "jiggle top" in operation.

Needs a Nap

AS nap time approached, the Twin's became unusually quiet as if they might actually fall asleep on the couch. No such event occurred, but it was a nice fantasy to indulge in for a moment.

Let's Ride!

EJ has discovered that the walking toy converts to a riding toy and has taken to it. Below, his expression seems to convey skepticism.

"Really Dad? Sasquatch will help guide me back to camp after the snipe hunt? I am going to need substantive evidence."

Bunny Ears

DAD did not realize how well these matched EJ's hair until he examined the photograph at a later time. The Parent's did not buy them, but perhaps should have.

Don't worry son, you will never suffer the humiliation of a pink bunny suit.

Now a brown one, hmmmm.

Update: Climb

Update: 2/26/14

They like to climb into the crib too. Below they both decided they wanted to play with the toys in his crib, so they hauled themselves up and into it. Dad envisions a need to secure the crib to the wall to prevent it from tipping. Either one by their self may not tip it, but if they are both hauling themselves up at the same time, it could topple over.

Huggey

EJ has always been a cuddler (an apt description provided by New Family blog reader and friend Missi H). Now he has discovered that Liesel will tolerate him wrapping his arms around her.

EJ also now like to pat his Parent's back and or stroke up and down (above he pats Buggy), a behavior that Dad believes he learned through example, though he is not aware of actually stroking or patting his back.

Flipping adorable.

Beef Stroganoff

DAD saw that the sour cream was about to go out of date so he cobbled together Beef Stroganoff.

He browned about 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef and seasoned with powdered garlic.

He browned sliced sweet onions in the convection oven. He then dumped a can of mushrooms over top of them. He added beef base to the sour cream and combined until it tasted right.

Then he dumped the mushrooms, onion, and sour cream mix on top. He combined it and cooked it thoroughly. 

It sure is not a pretty dish, But it tastes wonderful. It is typically served over egg noodles,

Storing Twins

FOR the clutterd home that needs to get stuff organized and put away, Dad recommends this plastic set of storage drawers. The hold the Twins nicely.

Update: Buggy's Dress

BUGGY loves playing dress up. See previous posts on hats. She brought this dress to Dad to put on her this morning. She wore it yesterday but Dad forgot to take pictures. It was taken off and cast aside when she was prepared for bed at that time. She found it today and brought it to him to put on her. Dad took video.

Here is a still of her in her dress.
