Four Day Weekend

Today is the last day of Matt's four day weekend. He had Friday off due to the threat of snow. We saw wet snow that melted before it even touched the ground for around thirty minutes. Nonetheless, Matt was grateful for the day off. Unfortunately his break coincided with Scarlett's virus. Early Friday morning her fever spiked to 104. We were a little freaked out as she's never had a fever so high before. My dad assures us the next time won't concern us so much. She's been feeling much better for the past few days.

We've spent the majority of our time holed up in the house, which is fine by me. Much to Matt's chagrin, we've been watching the Olympics. He was a trooper last night and sat through Figure Skating without complaint. Don't feel too bad for him though. We recently bought a PlayStation 3 and he's had plenty of "me time" playing hockey.

So far, my experimentation with bread has been a success. I've made cracked whole wheat which was pretty tasty.

Scarlett's new word of the day in Catchie(emphasis on the atchie) which is her way of saying Ketchup. Ketchup is one of her favorites. If she's having trouble finishing a food, we just squirt some Catchie on it and miraculously, she eats it. It grosses us out a little, but whatever works.

Pizza Pizza


The pizza dough was a success! This pizza was made with pesto, roma tomatoes, goat cheese, prosciutto, arugula, and fontina cheese. It was delicious.

Yesterday Scarlett and I went out on a "date" after grocery shopping. We went to IHOP and had breakfast for dinner. It was a great date.

Scarlett is sick again. We went to a Superbowl party Sunday where she was exposed to a little boy who was just coming down with something. I had been expecting it. She had a 102 temp when she woke up from her nap. Before she went down for the night it was up to 102.7. We'll be watching her closely tonight.

Despite her illness, during dinner she was a ham.

Here we go....


I've finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon. I felt it was an easy way for our family and friends to keep updated with our daily happenings. So on that note....

Matt will be flying late tonight, so Scarlett and mommy get to spend the evening together. On the agenda today is going to the NEX and Commissary. Fun stuff. It's a gorgeous but cool day today in Pensacola. I'm sure we'll find some time to venture outside.

Scarlett pooped on the potty this morning. She's gotten pretty consistent at the pooping but not the peeing. I'm sure that will come soon. I feel she's doing very well for a 19 month old.

I plan on trying my hand at pizza dough and bread in the upcoming days. Stay tuned for results.
