Mommy & Stu time

I am savoring my time with my "current" baby right now.... I will tell you I feel the time drawing nearer and my time with my baby boy is getting counted down..he has had me in tears because he doesn't so much 'like" me right now...and I mean..its been like this for a LONG time (he loves his Daddy a lot) really but maybe its started to hurt since I know our family dynamic will change once again like when he came...so the prospect of a night of just me and Stuart kinda had me excited... 

so with Shania I have been craving sweet treats and such..or in Jake's opinion I've been craving anything food :)..but I realized I had all the ingredients to make some cinnamon rolls that I hadn't made since I was pregnant with Sondra last...so that was our mission...we get home and at first I thought it wouldn't be a good night b.c. Stu had a meltdown over 2 tractors I put in toy jail for pooping his pants 2 times in one day the previous day..both with me..gggrrrr....but once I told him we had some cooking to do..he perked up quickly... we started of as soon as we got home and started the rolls dough..got the bread machine (yes mom I have my bread machine back at my house it goes back and forth depending on how often I"m using it)...and got that going. b.c it took 1.5 hours for that part.....then we set off making Granola bars which is supper easy peasy..I've been craving them b.c. one of my favorite drivers brought me in the honey he collected..and let me just say..it just tastes better....one problem though...I bought the wrong kind of granola...I usually get it from  an Amish shop that we buy our apples from..and never bought it from Walmart..but the bars DID NOT stick together....and I never have that problem.and I followed the recipe to the T..and the only difference is the granola....anyways..that's when we decided on a nutritious meal of Chicken Nuggets and French fries...like your surprised?? lol... so after the dough cycle was done in the bread machine Stuart was ready to bake!- which was not so climatic since we just put the bread on a floury surfaced to rest for 10 minutes (and that's a long time for a 3 year old)..he says Mommy why does cinnamon rolls need to have a nap???...they do Stu its TV time... then we got the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture and lots of butter for the middle..then we rolled out the dough..spread the good stuff..and rolled them back up and cut the rolls..and then let sit again to rise again....hmm...these are going to be good I kept telling myself.. :) then we started off on making the Icing... I get out my mixer..which Stu asks Mommy what is that?..I'm embarrassed I haven't been doing much baking lately..I say its my beloved mixer Stuart...Oh mommy that is a nice machine..I like your big machine..its nice...then when I turned it one...he even lost it even more...what a nice machine Mommy...Mixer Stu..Mixer Stu... as I got the icing done it was in the mixing bowl where we were standing..I put away the mess..I turn my back for 5 minutes and then realize Stuart has eaten a good 3/4 to a cup of cream cheese icing.... I said Stuart! those are for the rolls..."it good mommy"... lol... okay so he can't be left alone with cream cheese icing..but also..if all else fails and he refuses to eat... this icing will do the trick!... so after another batch of icing is made our rolls come out of the oven looking ever so good and we ice them up and more than enough icing... and now I can't wait till tonight to enjoy them! :)

We cuddled last night before his bedtime...and talked about his baby sister..and asked "why is your belly so big" and such....in the tub we have a baby and he plays with it and says it Shania..which is adorable...but ultimately... the funnest is this video below...Hopefully this doesn't mar the whole night of Mommy & Stu time.. Now we did this 10 times before this video and he was laughing up a storm and I wanted to video it to send and this is what happens:  





the funniest thing: after he calmed down he looks at me and says straight face: "Mommy I said a bridge I didn't want you to hit my P - P...soo..hopefully I don't get no calls from Children services asking about why I hurt my son...lol..
