Wizard of Oz

We are soon to have a celebrity on our hands. Earlier this school year Parker and Elly were in the talent show. Both took to the stage very well, Elly was a natural and loved it. She tried out for the musical Wizard of Oz and made it. She will be the Munchkin Coroner that declares the Wicked Witch to be Dead! It will be April 15-18. All family and friends should reserve the date. Parker decided that he did not want to do the singing part and have that many practices (or wear makeup). I did not push it. It will be a lot of work, but I am really excited Elly wanted to take part. She had to sing lollipop guild when she tried out.

Spinach Salad

Elly's favorite food is salad. I should say her favorite food is french dressing. I always thought I was doing good even if she drowned it in dressing, but I recently found out that iceberg lettuce has zero nutrition. So we have started adding dark greens to our salad. When I worked at Rax (the good old days) I liked spinach salad. I made it this week with homemade honey mustard dressing. Dressing had onions, honey, spicy mustard, cider vinegar, olive oil and sugar. About equal parts of each. It was delicious. Elly just ate the spinach mixed in with her iceberg lettuce. We are having baby steps, but on the track to healthier eating. Parker still does not touch the stuff. He eats apples or grapes instead.

Happy New Year the Eaton's are back

Hiatus is over. I had planned on digital scrapbooking this past year and the pictures are just sitting on disks. I have decided to try the blogging again this year. The pictures are from the kids 2009 birthday's. Parker is now 7 soon too be 8 and Elly just turned 9.
