I have had a blogging block lately. I really don't know why. I just have not been into it lately. I thought I would try just posting a random post to see if it will jump start me back to blogging. Even though most of my blogs have been random and boring. There is just no creative juice flowing right now.
On to the randomness-
PURPLE mashed potatoes

We received some purple potatoes in our brown box last week and we made purple mashed potatoes. I thought they were so pretty. The purple in them is the same antioxidant that makes blue berries purple so I felt like they were better for me too. There is a mystery to these however, when I steamed the potatoes the water that was left in the pot was green. Why on earth would it be green? Green isn't even in purple. Does anyone have a guess to why purple potatoes create green water?
Barbie

Meet Barbie. Alex decided she is barbie. If you call her Alex she gets very mad and says "no, I'm Barbie!" until you apologies and call her Barbie. Along with the name she also needs the wardrobe so she wears this dress everywhere! I mean everywhere. She wears it to the gym, the store, to take Ayden to preschool, to friends houses, to the park, out to dinner and even to bed! It is driving me crazy since it has been going on for two weeks now. I just keep waiting for it to get old to her but it is not. It is looking very raggedy now and it is a fight every time I need to take it off to change the clothes underneath or wash it. I have only managed to wash it twice when it really should be washed everyday. We have other dress ups but she only wants this one. I guess it could be worse.
Naughty Children

One night Brad and I were enjoying some quiet while the girls were coloring at the table. I knew it was probably too quiet for too long but I had no clue this is what they were up to. They color with markers all the time with no problems so why did they decide to do exactly what they know they are not supposed to do this time? It is a mystery. It was all over the walls in the hallway too and the sliding glass windows in the kitchen. At least it was all on easy to clean surfaces except for their skin since they were not washable markers (forgive me for being cheap and buying the ones on sale).
Also, I was tagged and since there is nothing else to blog about I will give it a go-

Your Barbie story totally cracked me up! That is hilarious! (Sorry, probably not so much to you.) Kids do the funniest things. And I hear ya on the markers, Spencer usually does great with them too until a few days ago when I found him coloring on the bottom of his feet (and I buy the non-washable cheap ones too). Why??? Thanks for doing the tag!!!
First of all...you and Brad were having 'quiet time' while your kids had the markers...sure, I beleive ya!
I love Barbie...purple really is her color!
I love the purple potatoes!!! I am clueless on the green water...but it's kinda cool! I bet the girls loved purple potatoes, expecially Barbie!!!
Darn Oprah...she can always get us to cry! You're a pretty good Mom for letting your kids use markers...or does that make you stupid? Just kidding...not quite sure when I'll be ready to break out the markers though.
Jenni,
Did you try googling the potato thing? I'm sure you did already...;) The barbie thing is hillarious...and I loved the one word post...you rock, Jenni...even if you've been on a 'post plateau'...we all do that...except Kim for some reason...
Oprah is a HAG!
HAHAHAHA!!! That last comment was me, Brad. I guess Jenni's name was automatically stored on her computer. Sorry Jenni. I stand by the comment I said, which your blog says you said, which said comment was, "Oprah is a HAG!!!"
I cry everyday when I hear Jenni gives that lady ratings.
missing you too. I want purple potatoes, and random posts are the best. Love
How in the world are you?? It has been forever since I have talked to you. Your family is so cute. Send me an email when you get a chance. jennyspilker@gmail.com
It will be fun to get caught up.

Sounds like Alex and Claire are two peas in a pod. Although Claire's characters vary from day to day. Lately she's been into the Backyardigans so she's Uniqua, Quin is Pablo, Chris is Tyrone and I'm Tasha. She's also VERY insistent on everyone being called the right names. Aren't kids so funny?
Hey Jenni! It's Emily, Elizabeth's sister-in-law. I have actually been meaning to contact you for a while, but when Brad called the other night, it reminded me. I need a couple pictures framed. You can email me at empilling@hotmail.com and let me know if that is something you would be able to do!
Hey Jenni, how are things going? Anyway, I finally have a blog to keep in touch with people now. What happened to your myspace? I actually don't use mine at all. This seems like the better route to go. Do you have an email address? I need to see you next time we are in Boise. I haven't been in months. My family has been coming here to visit, which has been nice. Take care!

I just love that you have your own little Barbie. That cracks me up! You are so good to just wait out the phase. All you can really do is take pictures in the meantime!
Are you coming to PC anytime over Christmas?
