Ingrid,
Thanks so much! How kind of you to think of me. I love your seven things. My favorite one was the "Knock it off, stop, be quiet..."
Did you really have twins? Are they identical or fraternal, boy/ girl or both? You poor thing!
This is my first time here. What a great blog! I wanted to answer your question about maple extract. I've bought it at Albertson's and Walmart. Strangely enough, it's often located by the syrups instead of the baking section. Try there or ask your grocer. The last time I bought it was at the end of an aisle. It drives me crazy when they move stuff to make life "easier."
great lists, ingrid! clearly, we need to hear more about your twins--i'm always fascinated by them. frankly, i wish i had my own twin. :)
thanks so much for the award--you're too kind. :)
So fun to read about you and get to know you better! Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you liked the brownies!
Congrats on the awards! I love reading these kinds of entries bc it allows me to get to know the writers of my favorite blogs. My computer has crashed so I have not been able to pass on my awards from last week! I hope my computer will be up and running by this weekend!
Ingrid,
congrats on the award(s)! you crack me up with your lists! it seems as if #1&2 are what I'm saying to my kids all the time too. I swear that the louder I say them the less they hear me.
Thanks for thinking of me! It brightens my day reading your blog and I'm oh so awed by your ability to raise a houseful of kids while juggling, well...life!
Hi, everyone!!!
Thank you for the thoughtful compliments and your interest in my children and myself! Being a parent is a lot of hard work but so worth it. Hope I'm not messing up too badly.

LOL! Yes, I really do have a set of twins. I also have a singleton, my Babygirl! The Twins are identical boys though one twin is very lean and is about 23 lbs lighter than the other one making them look quite different. Life is quite interesting with the three of my kiddies. I LOVE them to death and am so proud of them. Don't get me wrong they can drive me crazy! On Monday I did a tremendous amount of STOP!! KNOCK.IT.OFF.NOW!!! or else'ing.
You're very welcome, now give me the rest of my story! :-)

Hi, welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by and for the info. I guess I'm gonna have to swing into a Walmart and pick up some as the Albertson's by my house doesn't have any of the extract.
I too hate when they change things up!
I'll be by your blog again to see what yummies you have hiding.

I'd like to hear your Mom's thoughts on you being half a set of twins. Being a parent is a tough job and of twins even more. I am constantly juggling "fair" and always hear how I love the other one best or something of that nature. Love, love, love them (all three)but it can get on ones nerves. LOL!

Your brownies are fantastic and the recipe is in the "must make again" stack! Thanks for the award!

My children say I yell too much but when I talk in a "nice" calm tone they don't hear me. They are always so shocked to hear that I repeated myself more than once before I yelled. I'm not so sure they pay any mind if I yell or whisper.
~ingrid
Congrats on your well deserved twins! I mean awards!!!!LOL
Neato!
Congratulations on your awards! They were definitely sent to the right blog!
[& I didn't know you had a set of twins!]
Thanks so much for thinking about me!
leslie~
You're such a crack up! LOL! Thx!

"Warm gooey marshmallow filled desserts"
You have my vote on Nov. 4th.
Did you mean the dancehall stories with Vivi and Wade? They're coming back next week. Since this was Halloween week and there's nothing scary about dancing, they took a short break.
Congrats on the awards!
(My husband's mentor for his MS had two sets of identical twins! It was even more interesting that he was also a genetisit...)
ann~
LOL!

the blonde duck~
Yup, that's the story I'm dying to finish reading. Yeah, I know you were working the "scary" angle of this week. Just wanted to make sure you knew we (ME) were still eagerly anticipating the rest of your story!

Hi! Thanks!
Ah, man! Now that has got to be quite interesting for them. I bet they have some great stories.
I can't wait to see what you come up with for this year's costume. Duh, now that I think of it I should have asked you for ideas. I am going to a party tonight (w/the kids) and STILL have not figured anything out.
~ingrid
Thanks for the award, Ingrid ;-)
