The Ranch House: Day 161 - Asher play day

Day 161 - was a dewy cool (3 degree) morning when Britt and I headed to the school for her to get in line to sign up for the Eastern Canada Trip. Apparently there were kids there at 5:30 am! by the time Britt arrived at 7:40 she was on a waiting list after 96 kids made the list. Luckily soon after an older lady left a chair right near the front of the line where Mr Strath motioned for Britt to take her place, yeah she made it! This trip takes place next Easter.

Since I was up and ready I went into work, earliest ever! However I had to leave for Julio and Jessie to have shoes pulled and trimmed at 9:30 then back to the town house to babysit Asher while A&C went to a funeral.

He and I had a great day. He loves the dogs and is getting very mobile.

then it was cuddle time for a nap, I made more home made granola for Sheldon which he loves. (must be batch number 50 at least :-)

Eat Clean granola

3 cups rolled oats

¼ cup sunflower seeds

¼ cup pumpkin seeds

¼ cup hemp or flax seeds

½ cup almonds or pecans

½ cup coconut flakes

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons grape seed oil ( I used olive oil once)

2 tablespoons apple juice

½ cup maple syrup

¼ cup honey

½ cup dried cranberries

Preheat to 350 degrees, lightly grease pan. Combine all dry except cranberries. Mix all wet in small measuring cup and add to dry ingredients. Mix well and spread evenly on pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy. Add cranberries. Great with rice or almond milk. (I made my own and it is so yummy)

About 1 1/2 hours later, he woke up refreshed and ready to get going

he loved guitar hero! At 2:30 playtime was over and it was computer time for me. Blogging, accounting, appliance shopping and sorting paperwork, sounds fun heh?

After school Shaina headed for work, Britt rode her bike for a sno-joe and Sheldon and I had a beer then him a nap for 1/ 1/2 like Asher. :-) Supper and off to Wal-Mart and No Frills for B&S to grab groceries and such while I finished up todays blog. At Nine, Kaylin and Arron dropped by with birthday cake Aaron baked for her. Shaina got home just in time for the delicious dessert.
