The Clowards: Corn Bread

Corn Bread

My husband decided to try and make cornbread today. Not an unusual thing to do, right? Well, Rob, being the person that he is, decided to try and make it a little bit harder than normal. He took the corn that we had grown over the summer that had dried out and turned it into cornmeal. The girls had a great time helping him grind the corn and Rob said that the cornbread was the best he had ever tasted.
The best part for me is that the weather and finally turned cool enough to have soup, so I made chili using most of the stuff from our garden. It is true that the best stuff is home grown!

Kids Say the Darndest Things

08/21/11 - During Sacrament Mtg I told Sara that she needed to be quiet. She looked at me and said, "That's impossible!"

11/10 The missionaries went around and asked everyone what they were thankful for. Anna said her family. Sara answers...Puppy Cartoons.
11/10 Rob and I were pretend fighting. I looked at Anna and said, "Why doesn't daddy like me anymore?" Her reply, "Probably because you have brown hair."
11/10 After cleaning and setting up Christmas all day I looked at Rob and asked him how bad I looked. Anna looked at me and said, "You look like a mom!"
06/10 Sara calls Tinkerbell "Belly Saucer". Don't have a clue why!
4/10 - Anna at 7:00 in the morning. "Aunt Kassi, we're not supposed to eat humans, it's not good. But dinosaurs can."
04/04/10 After looking at her stash from the Easter Bunny she grabbed her socks and said, "Look mom! The Easter Bunny laid some socks for me!".
03/10 Anna came running in and said, "Mom, big hairy dogs make me laugh!" As opposed to the small hairless ones?
02/10 We were playing baseball on the Wii. It was Anna's turn to pitch the ball. After waiting about two minutes, I told her to throw the ball. She looked at me and said, "But mom! You have to scratch yourself first!". Where did she hear that?
1/20/10 Anna, in a very disappointed voice, "Mom...I can't scratch my neck with my feet!"

11/12/09 "Mom at church when we sing I get to be a Rock Star!". What songs are they teaching in Primary these days?
11/09 Sara hasn't figured out the names of all of the animals and has made some up. She calls horses "yee haws" and pigs are "eieioh".
5/09 As we drove into Home Depot the other day, Anna started jumping up and down in her seat, exclaiming "We're at Home Depot...It's daddies favorite!"
03/09 - Sara has started giving kisses, especially to her baby dolls. She puts her mouth up to them and then clicks her tongue. I guess that is her version of a smack!
2/18/09 - The sun was setting as we were driving home from ballet and Anna exlaimed, "Look Mom...The sun is melting!".
Everytime Rob drives over the warning bumps on the road (to alert you that you are about to drive off the road) Anna says to Rob, "Excuse you Daddy!". She thinks she is so funny!
On the same St George trip she was watching one of the Pink Panther cartoons. In the cartoon he was playing with his tail a lot. All was silent when she suddenly said "Mom....Do you have a tail too?"
1/18/09 After we told Anna that we were going to St George she told everyone she met that we were going to Curious George.
12/08 When Anna was sick Rob and our neighbor were about to give her a blessing. She was a little apprehensive, so Rob explained that they were going to say a special prayer to help her feel better. After the blessing Anna jumped out of the chair, flung her arms around me and exclaimed "I'm all better now!". Oh, the faith of the children!
1/11/09 Anna started attending Primary. During Sharing time they were talking about choices and the example that the teacher used was sometimes you can chose between cereal or pancakes for breakfast. Anna raised her hand and announced "My mom likes to eat cupcakes for breakfast!".
