Im realizing more and more that if Im going to remember all of the silly things my boys say, I need to write them down more! And since I am treating this blog as a sort of journal/memory book, I figure it's the best place to do it. So, here is a glimpse into a conversation from last night.
Owen- Im hungry.
Me- Dinner is in the oven!
Owen- What is it?
Me- Meatloaf!
Owen- I dont like meatloaf.
Me- How do you know? You havent tried it.
Owen- Its kinda like cantaloupe.
Me- Ooook. Yeah you definitely havent tried it.
It took us a while to get him to take his first bite, but he enjoyed it and ate all of his dinner! He is so picky. Caleb, on the other hand, is anything but picky. He had 2 servings of meatloaf and we finished the entire thing! Usually we have leftovers! After dinner, I asked Nathan if we are just going to have to make 2 meatloaves when all the boys get older, and he responded- "probably 3." What have I gotten myself into?!

Pregnancy
I love being pregnant. I love the belly, the stretchy clothes, and old ladies giving me big smiles every time they spot my massive belly. My pregnancies are always relatively easy and fun. So, let me take one blog to complain about this one! ha.
Im exhausted. I know I know, I have 2 little boys that I have to keep up with. But I'm telling ya, I'm more exhausted than I expected to be. Even on days when I get a full nights rest and a nap in the middle of the day, I still struggle.
Im sicker than usual. The first few months were the worst EVER, with constant vomiting and nausea. I felt pukey with my first 2 pregnancies, but never actually threw up. With this pregnancy, I STILL feel a bit nauseous if I dont eat enough. Therefore, I eat all the time and have gained weight faster. Ya win some, ya lose some, right?
Im just READY! I start my 25th week today, and normally Id be thrilled to be in this stage of pregnancy. Im thankful, thats for sure. I understand what a blessing it is from the Lord to have a healthy baby and normal pregnancy. But I would be fine if my due date were tomorrow. Maybe 3 babies in 4 years has pushed me past the joy of a long 9 month pregnancy.
Im excited, thankful, THRILLED to have this sweet baby boy in my tummy. Its just funny how different it has been the 3rd time around!
One and only time I'll complain, I promise. We cant wait to meet baby boy Sherman #3!
And for your viewing enjoyment- my baby boys in a bubble bath!

Adventures in Pinterest
I love Pinterest. I'm not super crafty, so I dont use it to the extreme that lots of other ladies do. However, it's a perfect way to find and store recipes, and Im loving it! I just wanted to blog about a few of the things I have tried, since I havent been disappointed with any of them.
First, these chicken roll ups. Very easy, very yummy! Had to cook longer because the dough was still soft, but they were a fun changeup for dinner!
Next, an easy crock pot recipe for a chicken/sauce to put on top of pasta. Nathan really liked it, and I bought the ingredients to make again this week. It's definitely going in the recipe rotation.
We had a little super bowl party, and 2 Pinterest snacks were tried out- 1. Simply putting chocolate chips inside of raspberries. Easy and cute!
And these taco cupcakes. Sounds funny, but it was just a fun variety of taco ingredients on top of wonton wrappers, baked in cupcake trays. Lots of compliments, but not sure I'll make them again.
We tried these pepperoni rolls for dinner a few weeks ago- easy and yummy!

We also did this frito chili pie (per nathans request), and it was great!
And last one, I promise. This is an easy appetizer that is served with baguette slices. SO good. Just tomatoes, green onion, and feta mixed with olive oil. Im actually taking it to a recipe exchange party this afternoon!
Im not much of a chef, so it's been fun to try new things. This week I'm trying a baked spaghetti recipe too. YAY for Pinterest! :)
