Life With a Four Year Old - and Chicken Soup

Those fun little 4 year olds!


I got an email from our daughter yesterday morning. It went like this:

"A Henry went into the bathroom...... and came out like this. 'I put on a costume! Cheeeese!'"

This kid is so funny! And I think the costume thing is in his DNA. His mom did that on a regular basis when she was little. But I don't remember the undies on the head. He must get that from the other side of the family. LOL (just kidding, dear SIL)

 'Shhh. Did you see Sam over there? I think he's watching us. 
How do I look? Do I have grain stuck in my beak?'

'You're lookin' mighty good to me, ladies.'


Sam, the Amish rooster
Ain't he a handsome fella!
He actually reminds me of someone, but I can't quite place it...
and if you look at this photo long enough, you'll see him blink.;-)

It was windy and cool here yesterday. In fact, it was so chilly that I had to wear my winter uniform: Cudl Dud top, polar fleece vest, jeans. I probably get more good out of a polar fleece vest than anyone else I know. 

It's trending toward soup/stew weather. Our daughter (Henry's mom) sent me a photo of the chicken soup she had made. I asked her if I could post her photo and the soup recipe on my blog today, so you'll have another great chicken soup recipe with which to usher in fall. You won't be sorry. She's a good cook.

She wrote, "Huzzah! Let the season of hearty soups begin! (In this version: zucchini, sweet red pepper, carrots, celery, and sweet potatoes, simmered in homemade chicken stock, blended with an immersion blender until nearly smooth; a bit of already-cooked rice added in, and a little coconut milk swirled into each bowl.) :)" 

One of these days I'm going to figure out Instagram and follow her. She has some terrific photos!
