Cooking with Momma

Last night we (Mom and Asher) cooked our own recipe!!! We are calling it "Favorite things Mac and cheese"! All Ashers fav stuff: Procuttio, tomato, peas and Basil ,garlic... And cheese!!! He was a great helper drying the basil and tomatoes even breaking up the cheese!

Gold !!!

The leprechaun left us gold chocolates !

Movie Night

A FAB FRIDAY Tradition.....



We have been on a Friday night Movie kick. We either cook something fun for dinner or have Popcorn upstairs in the "man cave" room! It's something Asher really looks forward to (who am I kidding -we do too)! Last night we made pizza and watched the Chipmunk movie... The week before we just had popcorn and watched the Avengers. After the Avengers movie Asher was convinced he was a Superhero, an Avenger in fact! He even did a little drawing to prove it!

Valentines Day

Asher has been talking about Peter Pan all month ... I'm guessing the must have red the book at school?! So for Valentines the little guy got the Movie (just released from the Disney vault-thank God!) The next day we had a bit of an issue when we realized we had no green pants (like Peter) to wear to school! So what's a Momma to do... Obv whip up a Peter Pan costume on her lunch break-Duh!

It was a big hit (worn for 3 days in a row)

Asher's Birthday (Part 2)

January was a whirlwind ! We all managed to get a strain if flu on and off all month passing it back and forth to one another! FUN!

In between all the sickness Asher had a Superhero Birthday ! It was a ton of fun and we were so thankful it didn't get snowed out!

Asher is 3!!! (Part 1)

This past Sunday our sweet Asher turned 3! He awoke and ran down the steps looking for his "prize" he was squealing with delight to see he had two balloons (especially the "woody" toy story balloon , good choice Daddy!) tore open his gift to find a "work bag like Daddy to take to New York" and inside was an iPad mini ( I know a better gift then even Momma and Daddy get each other !) we though the iPad would be perfect for watching 20 mins of cartoons in the morning ( while Momma gets ready for work) and a great learning tool to practice writing his letters and learning Spanish and French! He really does love it and already can call his Nee'Nee with it and do "face time" where they can see each other and catch up! We realized (when Momma had the flu and was stuck in bed) that the Ipad like the TV is good in 30 minute increments... If not you get a Grumpy Zombie toddler that you have to pry the iPad out if their little fingers, lesson learned !

Asher had a few bites if his French brownie with whipped cream for breakfast, then he asked Daddy for "crunchy cereal and milk instead"!

Chopsticks !

Asher asked Santa for Chopsticks for Christmas! He now has a pair of blue bunny training chopsticks. We tested them out last week with great success ( he even picked up rice). Today he chows down on Chinese chicken nuggets (aka: sesame chicken).
We can't wait to test out these new chopsticks on Sushi!

Cutest commuter on NJT

Asher is headed into NYC for a fun Day at the MOMA with Dad! Hopefully he will get to stop by Mom's office for a visit!

*Notice Asher's special ticket the conductor gave him*

New Years 2013!

I asked Asher what he wanted to do for New Years.., he said bake a cake! One of his gifts from Santa was real kitchen tools , measuring spoons cups etc so he was excited to help cook. We made a butter pound cake and Asher picked out blackberries for the topping!

The whole time he was really serious and kept saying "I'm the cooking chef" , he would get really annoyed if anything spilled on his recipe .. Dad got yelled at for getting flour on it!

The next morning I awoke to Daddy and Asher in the kitchen. Asher had his Chef hat on once again and had convinced Dad to help him make waffles ! We had waffles bacon and "Sparkle juice" (sparkling grape juice)

Our Lil Asher is such a Foodie!

Cheers to 2013
