Foil Tummy Time

Every other month I like to do a fun Tummy Time activity this month I chose to do Foil. Check out the pictures. They had a lot of fun with it!

       

Wow, November already!?

For a sensory activity, I bought fabric leaves, as you can tell they really enjoyed it!

I thought these turkey coloring sheets were really cute, instead of finger painting with them, I used their point fingers and stamped different colors on each feather, then I made their hand prints on the turkey's belly! Of course I had to laminate them! :)

My Halloween Door, I think these turned out so cute!

oven-roasted sausages, potatoes, and peppers

get it:

• 1 package (at least 1 lb) of your favorite sausage links (johnsonvilles, evergood, generic smoked sausage, whatever you like.  i used polish sausages, 4 to a pack)
• 4-5 decent-sized potatoes (i prefer yukon gold or red bliss)
• 1 small jar banana peppers
• 1-2 bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3 tbsp olive oil (yes, it has to be OLIVE oil)
• salt & pepper
• *optional — 2 tsp dried rosemary (bachelors, ignore this.  your salt and pepper will be fine.  i know that asking you to procure olive oil was already a stretch.)
• *optional — 3 tbsp creole seasoning

make it:

1. spray a large baking pan w/ nonstick spray (make sure there is at least a small “lip” that provides a “side” to the pan, don’t use a flat baking sheet.
2. slice sausages into thin rounds, about 1/5″ thick.  if you know how to slice using a “bias” cut, do that.  if not, don’t worry about it.
3. cut potatoes into 1/2″ chunks
4. slice onion and pepper into strips
5. place all ingredients on baking sheet and drizzle oil over.  use your hands to toss everything together in the oil, making sure everything feels coated.
6. add salt & pepper and spices (if using)
7. top w/ sliced banana peppers
8. bake at 400 for about 30-35 min, until potatoes are tender
9. EAT
