Soapy Soup????

Annabelle is HUGE on "How To's". She can sit and talk and talk and talk her way through something. One of her favorite things to do is to make Soapy Soup. She can sit in the bathroom and make Soapy Soup for literally an hour. She does it over and over and over again, but the instructions always stay the same. First you need to add "just a little tiny bit of soap", then you put in water. Then she always imagines that she has freshly squeezed lemons, then stir, stir, stir. Add more water, then add more soap, then stir, stir, stir. Then we need a "hint of mint" and some ice. "Ahhhhhh...Delicious!" She got most of her recipe from Max and Ruby and the lemonade episode (hence the freshly squeezed lemons and the hint of mint). I absolutely LOVE watching her make her specialty, and yes...I have tried soapy soup, and if you can get past the fact that it is soap, and it tastes like soap, then it is pretty good. Hee. Hee.

New Baby, New House, New Dog! WOW!

WOW...a BUNCH has been going on in the Bennett house since my last update.

First...it's official...it's a BOY for the Bennetts. We are absolutely thrilled, Bryan especially. Baby looked really good last time we had an ultrasound. I am 16 1/2 weeks right now, and I will have another ultrasound this week.



Second...we bought a house. Our rent house lease expired at the beginning of June and Bryan and I have been driving around crazy going into Open Houses and New Construction houses. We found a gorgeous home in Regal Park, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. We moved in last week and this is a picture of my new GORGEOUS kitchen!!!! Love it, Love it, Love it. It has double ovens and a gas stovetop, and an appliance garage. I will post more pics later.



Third, we adopted a rescued dog a few weeks ago. His name is Weenie Beenie Bennett, and he is a sweet, little pitiful about 3 year old daschund. Annabelle ADORES him so much and he is so gentle with her. They sleep together in her crib (he sleeps under the covers, just like her!), and he is really pleasant to be around, besides the barking! Hee. Hee.
