My Baby Started Preschool Today!

I'm a little bit in shock, since over he last 24 hours my baby has gone from a 1 and 364 days year old, to a solid 2 year old, who went to her first day of preschool this morning.

To further prove that she is her own child, and the third, she waltzed right into the classroom like she belonged there and never looked back!

Any big happenings in your world?

Popping Corn off the Cob

Last year was my first year doing this and it was super exciting. Or not "super", but I was amazed that it actually worked! 

First you take popping corn, the yellow ears in the photo above, not the multi-colored Indian corn, which is apparently only for show. Sidenote- Then why is it corn? Why can't we eat it? Who invented this idea? 

Ok, I'm back.

Next you let your corn dry out, maybe a few weeks to a month.

Then you put it in a paper bag, fold over the end, and put it in the microwave.

Let it pop until the popping slows (about 2 minutes) or until you smell burning. In which case, toss the bag and corn and start again.

Think of this as a neat party trick, or something to entertain your kids on a cool/wet/drizzly/sick autumn afternoon:)
