I think it is so funny to see what happens when Daddys become Poppies. In the last year I have watched him play like I never imagined he would.

Tea Time With Poppie
Here is a picture of Poppie and Katie Lee playing tea party. They had a ball and we loved watching them play.

Already Baking Like Southern Living
On the cover of this month's Southern Living is a picture of Nutter Butter Banana Pudding. Doesn't that sound great. Mother and Katie Lee decided to make it one day this week and Katie Lee was a big help.
Always read the directions carefully.
Pour in all of the ingredients.
Mix well.

Ready to go...
These two pictures are from this weekend. One is when we are getting ready to go to Wal-Mart and the other is going to church. I asked Katie Lee is she wanted to go to Wal-Mart. She said yes and runs to get her doll stroller and purse and then goes to the door. The other one was when we were about to leave. As you can tell, she has a church purse ready to go. I thought that they were just too cute. 
Southern Plate
I just have to mention this website Southern Plate. She has great recipes that we (good southern people) eat. She is also from right here in north Alabama. She is also in the Athens newspapers as a feature in the lifestyles section today. Anyway, she is one of my favorite blogs to read so check her.

7:10--arrive at school and get ready for the day
7:30---all 28 kiddos came to class--from here to until 2:20 was packed with learning and not a minute to waste. ( I leave what all I do during a day at school for another post the next time I hear someone day that teaching kids is easy work.)

Eating Out
We eat out a lot. Unfortunately we eat quite a bit of fast food which would explain why I am the size that I wish I wasn't. Anyway, that is a whole other story. Usually I am pleased with the food, quality and over all eating out experience no matter where we go. However, we have eaten out twice lately and I have been completely disappointed.
First of all, a few weeks ago, mother, Kathryn, Katie Lee and I were eating lunch at Burger King in town on HWY 72. I had ordered Katie Lee a kids meal. She was very hungry and ready to eat. By the time she had eaten to almost the center of her burger I noticed it. Her burger was not cooked. I am talking pretty pink, so I took it back up to the counter. I told the girl that her burger was not cooked. She took it, looked at it, and said, "Oh gross" then proceeded to get her another burger. The manager was right there and never told me that they were sorry for the uncooked burger or we will give you your money back or anything. That really aggravated me not because they did not give me my money back but because it is dangerous to eat uncooked meat and then the fact that they did not seem to even be concerned that they had served a meal that was not properly cooked. By the time we finished another customer had taken her meal back too for the same reason. I will not be eating there for a long time.
Then today, we were eating at Arby's. I got our food and went back for napkins. While I was gone, Katie Lee wanted her milk so Kathryn gave her some. I came back and sat down and Kathryn just happen to look at the milk and the date on it said..
1-14-09...that is 10 days old!!! I took it back up to the counter where two manager looking people were standing. I told the girl that it was old milk. She said oh I will get you more. The male manager said, "Oh, was it sour tasting" and I told him that I had not drank it but my baby had. Then he proceeds to tell me something about babies have more taste buds for sour than adults. Who cares!!! Yet again they did not tell me that they were sorry or anything. I will take it off of my places to eat.
On a positive note, I will say that we frequent the Chick-fil-a in town. It is always very clean, the food is cooked correctly, service is great with kind and helpful employees. It is my favorite fast food place in town. Katie Lee loves it too. We can just drive by and she points to it and says "Mmm."

Favorite Book
Katie Lee loves books. Right now she is loving her Beginner's Bible. She will look at it for a long time and we usually read it at night together.
New Hair Do
For fun on Monday, I decided that I would try a new hair do for Katie Lee. I still like her regular do but I thought that this was kinda cute for a change. Maybe one day it will get long enough for doggie ears.

Say a prayer for Jenna
Yesterday, we went to Birmingham to see Jenna. Please say a prayer for her and her family. She was doing really well yesterday. Her next surgery will be tomorrow and they will remove the area of her brain that is have the seizures. I cannot imagine what all Keri and Neal are thinking, but I am sure that the Lord will be with them all.
Here is a picture of Jenna at Katie Lee's birthday party back in August.
