I Heart Faces Week 28 Feet

The theme this week at I Heart Faces is FEET!

This is a picture of just one of Henry's feet on the farm! I took this the day that we went and picked veggies at a local U pick Farm!

Not Me My Child! Monday

This week MckMama is mixing it up a little and hosting Not My Child! Monday, a fun little twist on our weekly confessions of all our mommyhood shortcomings and oh-so-embarrassing incidents. This week we get to confess all the NOT so great things that our kids have done.....so go check out My Charming Kids to see all the things our kiddos have NOT been doing!

All three of my children did NOT have a blast playing on the slip n slide this weekend. They did NOT still have on their pajamas while they were playing on the before mentioned slip n slide. It was NOT approximately 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They would NEVER still be wearing their PJs that late in the day, and if they were, they would NEVER be running around in the yard and playing on the slip n slide!

One of my children {which one exactly is to blame is still a mystery, though I'm pretty sure Eli is innocent} did NOT do their business in the bathroom, only to use WAY too much toilet paper...causing the toilet to clog and overflow. The entire guest bathroom and the hallway was NOT flooded with yucky water, and it did NOT take at least an three hours before anyone discovered the mess! My children NEVER make messes, especially NOT ones that have to do with poop!

Henry and Grant do NOT think that dinner time is a race. They do NOT compete to see who can finish their food first! They do NOT eat SUPER fast so that they can announce who has finished in which place. While eating dinner this week, Henry did NOT announce that he was first, Grant was second, momma was third, and daddy was HOME! He did NOT turn dinner into such a big competition that he was using baseball terms!

MckCookies!

I have been dealing with my RA for about six months now....taking a ton of different medicines trying to get it under control.

After doing some research about foods that help with inflammation {the major annoyance with my RA right now}, I decided to try and add some more Omega 3's into our family's diet.

Flax seeds seem to be a great source, so I went looking for recipes!

I remembered this recipe from My Charming Kids and decided to give them a try.

The Twisted Oatmeal Raisin MckCookies turned out really good...and you can't even tell that there are a few SUPER strange unusual ingredients added in!

Cookies that are healthy, yummy, and are supposed to make me feel better! I think this may be the new favorite cookie at our house...but we will still have chocolate chip cookies every once in a while too!
