Look eye!, always look eye!

My kids love intimating the movie " Karate Kid"  They love to do "the moves" probably as much as my hubby. After hem and some hawing, we took the boys to try a taekwondo class. I was completely impressed by the control that the "master" had over the kids. I was amazed by my boys. My little one, did not cry for me. In fact, he had his karate face on and was ready to rock. Walked right in the room with his big brother and went for it. Parents sat out side the room and could watch. I think this helped my little one feel ok. He kept mouthing" do you have fruit snacks" He must have been hungry during the kicks and crab walks. The discipline was great. However, at some points a bit too much. The "master" picked up one kid by his belt and carried him like a suit case to move him to the other side of the room. I am not sure I would appreciate that being done to MY perfect angels. Do you think that is excessive? I am still on the fence about making this commitment for our boys. They had fun. They stuck it out the whole hour. We will be there the entire time with them to watch.

My baby girl will start her dance classes this Monday. She is very excited and is thrilled about wearing her little tutu.  My hubby and I thought it would be good to get them in some sort of activity during the winter at least. Although, we are all very sick through out the winter months. Both of the boys are without tonsils, we have started the kids on Vitamin D supplement's, and we will all be getting flu shots. We haven't gotten them in the past, but I think its needed.  Nothing is worse than having the flu, and trying to catch your kids "stomach contents" while you are rushing back from depositing your own. The memory is still so vivid. OUCH! Odd. My hubby slept through the mayhem of that night AND never got sick!  Do you and your family get flu shots?

Found the best Baked Coconut Chicken recipe. So easy so yummy. MY KIDS LOVE IT. They are so hard to please. Sub with  organic ingredients. Tum Yum. Also, Queen B, I saw your post about baked oatmeal. Looks yummy. I like to put steel cut oatmeal in the crock pot overnight on low. You can cook with water or apple juice. Dont forget the non-stick spray! So great and good for you. Another kid fav!
God Bless you today~

Love the idea for the oatmeal. Thanks for the great comment today! I could paste the verse to my forehead and look in the mirror all day and be better off for it.

Ps, totally get the flu shots. There are weird flus going around right now, even though it is summer/fall. With little kids, who catch everything, it is a good idea to be protected against at least ONE bug that might run through your house (or preschool or elementary or dance class, whatever).

Thanks for the affirmation about the flu shots. We are going to the dr on Monday to get it done. Looking forward to a healthier winter than last year...if its God's will...right? :)
