Girls' Dinner...

A new tradition at our house has been to let the girls plan a dinner menu from their new cookbooks. Then, they help prepare it and we celebrate our family.

Dinner #1 - Menu: Baked/Breaded Chicken Tenders (Olivia), mashed potatoes and carrots (Jillian), Sugar cookies (Delaney), and Lemon-Lime Surprise drink (Jillian). Then, mommy threw in broccoli for some green! :) Everything was so yummy and the girls had a great time.

Dinner #2 - Menu: Red beans and rice (Delaney), Lemon-Lime surprise drink (Jillian - again! :), and Choc. Chip cookies (Olivia). And, Daddy threw in some bread and butter for good measure!












Long time - no blog...


It's been too long since I've blogged about the goings-on of our family. I don't know where the time goes, sometimes!!!

Updates:

Baby "frother" is on his way and will be here soon, thus the blog's name change.

Joel is having a great school year - what a blessing!

Olivia -Our 4th grader is blossoming! She's loving Middle School and is performing in the school musical "The Pirates of Penzance."

Delaney - Turns 6 next week. It's so hard to believe! She is loving kindergarten, is reading like crazy, and keeps us busy, busy, busy.

Jillian - A very verbal 3 year old with an obsession for packing bags. She will find as many purses and bags as she can and will fill them up with little toys and goodies. It's the unpacking that's not so much fun!

I'm trying to keep this place organized and running smoothly, but that's easier said than done! My 8th graders are a joy this year - I love my classes. I'm anxious about leaving them for a couple of months, but I'm praying a good sub comes my way soon!!!
