It’s come to my attention that Piper was most certainly a Ninja or a Green Beret in a past life. It was a couple of months ago and Nathan and I were snuggling with Piper in bed while the other kids slept in (snort laugh, they never sleep in, I seriously have no idea what they were doing and why they weren’t harassing us to get out of bed). Any who, Nathan was talking to Piper when all the sudden she stuck her tiny knife like fingers up his nose and grabbed with a mighty death grip. Nathan screamed some expletives that I’m going to hope Piper doesn’t remember and said, “Who knew that a grip on the inside of your nose could render you completely defenseless!!” Since then she has been known as, Baby Ninja.
A few weeks ago when I was nursing Piper she was playing with my hand, sort of gently, with her tiny knife fingers and then all the sudden she found a nerve ending and dug in with all her might. My entire arm went numb. For most of the day. I told Gavin about it and he laughed harder than I’ve heard in a while, and then said, “Baby Ninja.” Yesterday I was nursing Piper and, because I didn’t learn from the incident with Nathan in the bed, she clawed me in the nose and I got a nose bleed. Baby Ninja.
Guess what will also bring you to your knees? That’s right friends, this Overnight Spinach Artichoke Strata! I looooooove a good strata, and this one is amazing! As if the combo of spinach and artichoke weren’t enough, I use some sweet Italian turkey sausage in there, a little white wine, and some garlic that will make you weep with joy, which honestly is so much better than weeping because your is slowly but surely proving to you that she can without a doubt kill you in your sleep with a flick of her pinky finger.
