So so very tired

I should be sleeping because I am oh so exhausted...yet I'm still a little hopped up on caffeine from all of the coffee I've drank today. The woes of a stay at home mama with an early riser. Up at 5:15 am today! Yikes.

Blake has his first occupational therapy appointment on Monday. I'm sooo not looking forward to that. I'm getting kinda tired of having something new pop up each time we visit the doctor. This time it was a diagnosis of torticollis...fortunately just a mild case, but still requiring OT. Apparently torticollis (which is basically the shortening of the neck muscles, causing the head to tilt to one side) is common among children who have hip dysplasia (although I still don't really understand how those two can even be related! Hips & neck??).

I am in love with Wellington's obsession with splash pads. They are literally all over the place! We've been to two different ones in the past month, and there are two more close by that I haven't checked out yet. They're especially perfect since I still haven't quite mastered the swimming pool with two kids yet!

In the spirit of new things, I've been trying out a lot of recipes I've found on Pinterest. I started out small - used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in a ranch chip dip, then ventured on to try dropping tiny spoonfuls of blueberry flavored Greek yogurt onto a cookie tray and freezing it overnight. Verdict? The Greek yogurt had a very slight texture difference but still equally yummy (for a fraction of the calories!) and the yogurt bites were a huge hit with Logan. That is totally awesome news for me since he refuses to eat regular Greek yogurt! While Monica was here I tried out the Parmesan chicken recipe, which incidentally also called for Greek yogurt (spotting a trend here yet? I guess I'm just obsessed with Greek yogurt at the moment). It turned out pretty good too! And although it wasn't a Pinterest recipe, I made my very first "homemade" biscuits tonight (i.e. they did not come out of a Pillsbury can, hehe). I made the cheesy garlic biscuit recipe from the side of the Bisquick box, and they turned out amazing! And so easy! Sometimes I love cooking. :D
