The Mr. Mom Episode
First the episode of Mr. Mom. I personally think Jon did a good job by himself. He really worked well with the kids. And before all the child advocates get all upset, when Jon was telling the kids to "get" the monster he was...well he was being a boy. My husband is like that with my girls (which I sometimes hate) and he can't wait to do it with our son when he gets old enough. That's just the way we are. My husband believes that boys should be tough and can't wait to play football with him. But before I get off the subject totally, back to Jon. I think he really realized that being a mom is a hard job. He does do a lot when Kate is around, but to do what he usually does on top of Kate's duties was probably an eye opener. My favorite part of the show was when he said that he would have the kids buy their lunch, but because Kate packs their lunch he took pictures of what he needed to put in their lunchbox. Typical male (LOL) My husband does the same thing or says just let her buy lunch. But I thought overall he did good, and boy did he look relived when Kate came back. That was a good episode.Da Ta Da...The Tups Go To Preschool!!!!!!
And of course they showed the episode that has been talked about all summer long. All we kept reading about in these blogs are if the tups are in preschool. Well...yea they are. Their school is over an hour away, they go three times a week and for two hours. I wondered what Jon and Kate did during that time and its nice to know that they try to get their grocery shopping done, run errands, etc. It is also good that they are sending them to a church based preschool that the girls went to. I personally think it shows that they liked the program and just because they have money doesn't mean they have to send the tups to some fancy preschool. The tups seemed excited and loved their backpacks they were carrying. I guess all and all it was a good episode. I figured they wouldn't show us what they did during the day. Some people don't understand why they would travel an hour to go to preschool, but if your church has a good program than why not send your child there. Personally for me I would do the same thing. If our church had a preschool or daycare program I would definitely send my children there. Because I would know the staff and I would know what they would be teaching. However I wouldn't get my kids those book bags. Don't get me wrong they are cute, but darn it if I'm going to spend money on a backpack that thing is going to at least last until the 4th or 5th grade. Call me cheap if you want to but in these hard times I am trying to cut corners anyway I can, plus when my oldest was in pre-k last year she went through 3 book bags in the first couple of months. I want something that is durable and will last. But then again I wonder if Kate is willing to spend a good amount of money on book bags for 6 four year olds. I could see if they were 6, but not at four. Anyway...Segements on GMA
I didn't catch the first segment on GMA, but I did catch the last two. There's not too much to tell about them. They asked about the blogs and why they decided to do a TV show. Jon and Kate answered in a very politically correct way. On the last segment, Kate made a meatloaf recipe that she does for her family. It seems like a pretty cool recipe because it hides veggies in it. And I am always looking for a way to hide veggies into food. But anyway, I put the recipe below for anyone who wants it. I also have the recipes for tomato and onion salad, Jon's beef recipe, monkey munch, edible play dough, as well as for sticky bread. Just leave me a message in my email and I will send it to you.Kate's Meatloaf
(makes 10 slices)Ingredients
2 pounds organic ground beef
2 pounds organic ground beef
2-3 eggs
Finely chopped (I use food processor on pulse) celery, onion, green pepper, carrots- about 3/4-1 cup of each.
About 1½-2 cups of breadcrumbs- Italian seasoned if on hand. Otherwise, plain works too. May need more breadcrumbs depending on the consistency of the meatloaf.
About 3/4 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese (whichever's on hand).
About ¼ to ½ cup ketchup.
About 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
About 1 teaspoon of garlic salt
Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and divide equally into two separate meat loaves. Add a squirt of ketchup to the top of each in a zig-zaggy design. I cover with foil and bake in either a meatloaf pan or a glass bread baking dish at 350 degrees for about an hour (depending on oven) or until bubbly and center is no longer pink.
During the last 15 minutes or so, I remove foil covering and finish baking uncovered.
When there's leftovers (usually I have about half a loaf left over) I put a slice between wholegrain bread with some mayo and ketchup swirled together (a la French dressing!), and a slice of lettuce and tomato too for a delicious meatloaf sandwich for the next day!
Yummy!

Well I have rambled enough and I hope I have made sense. I am trying to blog more so hopefully I will be on in the next couple of days and blog about more Jon and Kate drama.
