"Cops help people when they are dead."

Yes, kids DO say the darnedest things. This gem came from Felicity as she was sitting curled up on the playroom couch. It sounded like the "cops" were having it out with the "mean old witch" at the park. The "mean old witch" was a character in a Joy school Halloween song. But I am unsure where the "cops" came from. We have talked about policeman and police cars, but I can't recall the cops being part of any prior conversations. So I asked her "What are Cops?" Her response was "Cops help people when they are dead." Well, I guess that IS part of their job description!

Pad Thai!!!! Yum!

Erynne came over today and we made some amazing Pad Thai! Pad Thai is one of Ben's favorite dishes and he has a hard time trying anything else on the menu at restaurants if Pad Thai is available. Loving wife that I am, I decided to make it. It was a great success and we will be trying it again, and again. Even the munchkins and a cousin loved it and asked for more.

Here is the link for recipe I used. http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/recipes/padthai.html

I found that it was made using techniques very similar to fried rice, which is quickly becoming a family stable and is very easy to make! Thanks to Katie for the inspiration and encouragement to make Pad Thai!
