Duane's Haircut
This is after our first round of cutting hair. Duane was too upset to keep going so I gave him a bath and will have to try again later to cut the trouble spots he refused to let me touch. Pastor will be home soon, I'm wondering if he'll shoot me. What do you think?

Apple
Two days ago, while on our walk, Duane and I walked under an apple tree. Duane had his little bottle in his mouth like he usually does (he uses the nipple as a pacifier). He saw some apples that had fallen to the ground. He popped his bottle out of his mouth and said, "apple!" I'll have to try and get him to say it on the camcorder because it's the cutest thing he's ever said. I could listen to him say apple all day!
In other word news, Duane has learned to say "shoe" and says it quite frequently because he knows when we get our shoes on we're going somewhere and he loves to go. Another thing my boy has picked up on is saying "my ball!" to every ball he sees. It's no longer just a regular old ball, to him it's "my ball!" He also says "shot" referring to when he throws his balls into his crib, which he does almost every morning right after I get him out of bed. When I see him throw the balls in, I say "nice shot!" Now he says "shot" every time he gets a ball in. So cute.
Cheese has become one of Duane's favorite things to eat, I think that's because he can say "cheese!" when he wants it. It's also really cute when he wants his bottle and he goes around the apartment yelling "ba ba?" looking for it, something that he learned from me as well. Every time he wants a new bottle, I say "should we look for your ba ba?" and proceed to call it like it might answer.
Duane says "truck" too, and "star!" He loves to point out the star that hangs above our kitchen table and does so at every meal. I know there are more words that he's learned, but I can't think of them all right now. Hopefully I'll learn to use the camcorder again very soon.
Halloween Surprise!
I was trying to hint to Pastor that I liked these flowers from Smith's. I saw them and said "aw, these are sooo cute!" In the back of my mind I was thinking he might get them for a Halloween surprise later on. I was surprised right then when he put the flowers in the cart. I guess my Halloween surprise came early. Live flowers are always so much better than dead to me.

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
And, for anyone with little girls, these can be princess cookies rolled in princess diamonds and everything!
I think this recipe would be heavenly with white chocolate chips, but all we had were semi-sweet. I'll have to try that one day.
David Archuleta Christmas CD
I am so excited! Christmas will be all that much better. If I were any younger I might have had a huge crush on this young man. :D

Stuffed Peppers
For this dinner, I fried up some plantains and served brown rice on the side with salsa or hot sauce for anyone that wanted it. I also broke out the tortillas.

Alfajores de Manjarblanco
Pastor reminisces about these little cookies quite often. I've had one, but it tasted like freezer burn. The recipe is so simple that I thought it'd be worth it to try. The recipe is here.
Pollo a la Brasa
This is my kind of chicken! Pollo a la brasa is my favorite chicken dish of any I've tasted. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The recipe is here.
Arroz con Pollo
This is one of my favorite dishes, admittedly for the rice. Pastor likes the chicken though and gobbles it up. The recipe is here.
Onion Sauce
I've looked for the recipe for this onion salsa for a long time! I've made it from what I guessed was in it, but it never tasted like the kind from the resturaunts. I have yet to try this recipe, but it's better than nothing!
The recipe is here.

Costume Shopping
Grandma C. took Duane costume shopping today! She got him more things than just a constume and Duane was thrilled with that!
