Not Me Monday November 17, 2008

I ran across this really great blog last week whom hosts “Not Me Monday“  a very interesting idea on things that you “did not do” over the past week.  What a clever idea, and so true, She is hilarious!  I thought I surely could give this a try.  Here we go!

I did not balance this spoon on my Little H’s head and it did not stay there for over 1 minute. And I do not feed my baby boys with a pink spoon!

Over the weekend I did not make Pumpkin Crunch cake, Homemade bread, and Goulash.

I also did not make homemade full fat whipping cream with sugar to go with the pumpkin crunch cake and no I did not eat about 3 helpings!

I did not wear comfy sweats and house shoes around the house all weekend, and it did not feel really really good.

I did not take a picture of Baby W making a sad face, and I did not laugh and think it was hilarious.  What kind of mom would that be?
