Halloween is coming!

Halloween is coming and Lil Pig is so excited for it. Stay tuned for some pretty cool adventures that Lil Pig has had recently!

Lil Pig Makes Dinner

Tonight, Lil Pig told us that she wanted to make dinner. We had a new recipe that we came up with and she insisted that she wanted to help. So, we carefully watched over her as she helped us prepare dinner.


Here she is stirring the rice and squash.


Carefully she cut the chicken. I was worried about her using a knife, but she handled it really well.

Cutting up the tomatoes.


Here she is handing me a tortilla shell. Look how happy she is! She loves helping us cook.


Here she is carefully checking the dish. She is even using the pot holder, which we told her was one of the most important things when dealing with a hot stove. Don't worry. My husband was right behind her to assist.


While we waited for the dish to finish baking, Lil Pig decided to pretend like she was the main dish! I took a picture of her while my husband was in the other room. When he came back and saw her with an apple in her mouth, he was so shocked!


Lil Pig had to assure him that she was just playing. He could only hold his head in his hand for a while. It really was funny.

All in all, it was a really good dinner. We call it Baked Chicken and Rice Rollups. Give Lil Pig a shout if you would like the recipe. It's really good!!

Lil Pig Takes Care of Me

On Wednesday of last week I had another really bad migraine. I was able to struggle through the day with the pain, but by the time I was off work, it was really bad and I couldn't wait to get home, get my medicine, and relax in a nice cold, dark room. When my migraines get really bad my husband will get a hand towel and get it wet with really cold water and then place it on my head. This often helps me relax and soothes the pain at times when nothing else seems to. On this particular night, Lil Pig knew I was not feeling well so she was really quiet and an especially good helper. She patted my head while my husband got the hand towel wet, and then she placed it on my head.

Here's Lil Pig placing the cold hand towel on my head. My husband didn't want to put the flash on because it would just hurt my head more. So, the picture is a little dark, but you can still see Lil Pig being so gentle and helping me out.

I just adore this Lil Pig of mine! Every day she does something new that makes me smile. I was happy to have her help me and take care of me when I wasn't feeling well. She is so wonderful!
