I smell like potatoes

I cooked homemade hashbrowns for dinner tonight, and as I sit here I smell like fried potatoes. I have even changed my clothes! Yet here I sit, smelling like potatoes...

On another note:
My parents came to visit for ten days and did we take any pics? nope. none. We did go to cinnabon, the zoo, got pedicures, bought some clothes, went to the library, watched movies, and resolved little boy tattlings. It was a great trip and now I have to get back to reality where I actually have to cook dinner and entertain my children.

We did take some Halloween pics and I must say, these handsome little boys were so cute and energetic. Aidan would walk up to the houses and say,"You know who I am." Not asking a question, just stating a fact. All the adults loved it of course. I can honestly say I don't think there was another Captain American in the whole neighborhood and all the adults loved seeing an old school superhero. Camden looked very cool in his venom spider man costume. I must say that the mask really made it look cool. They trucked from house to house for two hours and only came home when their pumpkins were overflowing. Good times.Aidan made an adorable Captain America, though he liked to think he was ferocious


Camden had a million poses. He was loving modeling.


My nephew, Cohen, as the incredible hulk. I thought the mask was awesome!


All of us together. This is about as dressed up as I get folks.


The three amigos. Watch out evil villains...well, Camden's character was evil, Aidan's was good, and Cohen's had some anger issues...

I have some exciting news. No, it's not my pregnancy...hahahaha. I have finally found a milk substitute that Aidan will drink.

For those not familiar with the story, basically Aidan's had eczema his whole life and has not slept well. I decided to ask for a referral to an allergist where they determined he had a slight milk allergy. So, no milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. He has adapted amazingly well to the no ice cream rule. We found some soy "ice cream" sandwiches which he is happy to eat as an alternative. We also found a soy yogurt brand he likes. I'm still striking out on the cheese part, though rice cheese isn't bad. It doesn't smell or have a rubbery texture. Some different tofu cheeses we've tried have been dis.gus.ting.

And, though I don't think it's so bad, Aidan hasn't been fond of soy milk, or rice milk. Unless, of course it's chocolate soy milk; then we would guzzle the whole carton. I bought some random milk at Whole Foods on Saturday, Aidan came home, tasted it, and LIKED it!! So, now our little boy will drink ....Almond milk! Who knew? But he likes it and it has as much calcium as milk so I'm satisfied. Now, if only we could find a good cheese substitute...
