Sep. 25, 2009 - 7 Quick Takes: Photos from this week...
Thanks, Jennifer, of Conversion Diary, for once again hosting the most fun, easy carnival on the web. Visit ConversionDiary.Com for other quick takes from other interesting bloggers!
This week, I decided to use mostly pictures to describe the mutlitude of random things the last week or so has encompassed. Enjoy!
1. Food.....Okay, can you tell I'm hitting month 7 of pregnancy? Its the one for me that makes everything about food, and yet at the rate my tummy is now expanding, I can't eat very large meals. That doesn't mean I'm not still cooking large meals...such as:
Roast Chicken with garden fresh parsely and sage, carrots, potatoes, and onions, in a french onion gravy.
2. Okay, I need to devote another one to food, just this last one, I promise -- I wrote about this meal in another post: Yummy Indian dish, spinach with paneer, flatbread, and a veggie rice mixture with a yogurt sauce: kind of a variation on a recipe that I just use over and over again -- and every time we eat it, TallDad and I say we could eat this every night. Maybe we will someday! For now, the kids aren't too into it, and we do want them to live to adulthood, so we have to vary the meals a bit...
3. I lied. One more foodie.
A proper Brit, sitting with legs crossed, knickers atwist. Or maybe, a proper pirate, with one leg shorter than the other. Either way, more amusing than most carrots, and you just don't see carrots like this in the stores. Mores the pity.
We named him Lil Carrot Pants.Then we ate him.
4. Baz, with funny expression. Candid shot by Espen.
5. Also Baz, with expression PAINTED ON, courtesy Espen, with SCRAPBOOKING MARKER. They have this "thing" about coloring on their faces, lately.
6. Jo-Jo, mid-laugh. Love it.
7. Things I found in my upright spinet piano when I almost completely took it apart Thursday morning after Jo-Jo peed on the keyboard. Complete story, and more photos to follow Monday or Tuesday. For now, just pray for our potty training efforts. Also, I'm taking it as a sign that I found not one, but TWO, Divine Mercy cards INSIDE my piano, that I should be praying this prayer daily. I also found a quarter and a paperclip. I'm not seeing signs in those.

Love the carrot. It is amazing how similar they looked! The piano story was quite interesting, too. Hope it turned, or should I say "tuned" out okay. Have a great weekend.
God Bless,

That roast chicken looks yummy!!
The marker pic is too funny! Looks like Baz has his Halloween costume. :)
Jo-Jo peed ON YOUR SPINET KEYBOARD??? Oh my... that sounds like an interesting story!

The piano keyboard story is definitely interesting ... sounds like something that would be a possibility in my home. That would bring out the cleaner in me, too. Hopefully you'll be able to play the piano without that memory always popping up!!
My kids seem to be fascinated with markers, too. Lately it's been drawing a smiley face on their belly - inclusion of the belly button is a must. At least I can cover it up when needed.
If you want to see a relative of your Mr. British pants carrot, check out the photo I'm planning to post this Wednesday! We've eaten two legs off our 'friend', but there are still a few to go.
