What is this? One might ask. My response
would be, who knows!

This is actually what is called a "flopover" in the
Allen household. It is a bean and cheese
quesadilla with grape jelly.
No you're not mistaken, I really did say grape jelly!
I know it sounds crazy but it is actually
delicious! Jake and I used to have it all the time
when we lived with his parents (3 diff. times)
but we have forgotten about this delightful little
secret and our girls had never had it. So my sweet husband (pictured below)
knew I was having a terrible day and told me he was cooking that night
and this is what his suprise dinner was. I loved it!!!

It took us about 20 minutes to convince our girls how delicious
it was and when they tried it they couldn't get enough!


I had the opportunity to go on Madi's 1st grade field trip to
the Zoo! I didn't realize how fun the zoo could be without
a 1 year old. I think I had more fun than the kids did, as you could tell
in this picture. (I know, I'm a dork!)



Is she serious?! She said she wanted to take a picture on the tractor
and this is how she posed. I'm affraid to show this to her dad.
(we've already had to have a talk with her about not kissing boys
and not having boyfriends!)



This gorilla statue is at the end of the zoo. When we were walking out she yells
"Daddy!" I thought to myself, "Why the heck is Jake here?" I look over
and this is what I see. Is that not funny?
I know that's not very nice but she has to funniest sense of humor
and she was totally kidding! (love ya jake! You're hot!!!!)


I ate so much CRAP at the zoo, I came home and did a pilates video.
At the end of the video there is a 10 minute sculpting blast video
and Dani loves to do it! She begs me everyday so I told her she could when
I was done. She vanished for a little bit and she came back dressed like this
ready to work out. I love her!

I will have to try your flopover sometime when I am having a weird pregnancy craving. Love your poser, Brooklyn is that way to and I just laugh at some of the ones she does.

Look at that cute little muscular body she has...just like her mommy. Start them young on those videos!! hahaha.
Okay that flopover sounds very bizarre- but rather tasty. I"ll have to try it sometime. Darling kitchen by the way.

Yummy! Flopovers rule. Actually I usually just eat grape jelly on my bean burrito's. And mostly when I'm prego. But it really is delish & all should enjoy. Cute photo's!

I can't believe Madi's lost tooth story...that is hilarious. I wish I was as dedicated to Pilates as Dani! And the whole flopover thing...my dad makes those but not with jelly. Hmm, maybe I will get the courage to try it sometime.
