35
How I spent my 35th birthday:
And got TONS of lovely facebook wishes!
Such a great day.
- Took a personal day from work
- Kept the girls home
- Put a TO DIE FOR pot roast in the crock pot
- Made a Cinnamon Coffee Cake
- Put the craft table cloth on, pulled out paper, scissors, glue sticks, stickers, foam shapes, play dough...
- Let the girls go to town with no regard to what it would take to clean up.
- Snuggled and watched Playhouse Disney
- Answered a few work emails and calls
- The girls did my hair - 4 big flower clips
- The girls did my make-up (eye shadow on the forehead is SEXAY), and THEIRS... not sure Molly's face will be the same after all the lipstick she put on
- Hubby came home, I curled up with my Kindle and read a book
- Hubby put dinner and dessert together and cleaned up
- Hubby put the girls to bed.
- Watched Inglorious Basterds.... 1st half anyway. Too long, snow was putting me to sleep
- Went to bed!
And got TONS of lovely facebook wishes!
Such a great day.

Meal Plan Week 2
We enjoyed a "quiet" weekend, if by quiet you count having a contractor at your house, cleaning EVERY single thing out of a 500 square foot space, going out to dinner, having family at the house for the game, swim lessons... well you get the point.
Sunday: Lasagna and Pull Apart Garlic Bread
Monday: Tacos
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Pizza
Thursday: Crockpot Chicken
Friday: Soup and Sandwiches (and leftovers)
Saturday: TBD!
Sunday: Pork Tenderloin
For snack this afternoon I made a "gazpacho" dip and served it with crackers, yummy!
1 medium tomato, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped cucumber (less than half a cucumber)
1/2 cup chopped yellow or green pepper (yellow pepper is prettier) (about half a large pepper needed)
1/4 cup red onion chopped
1/4 cup fat free italian dressing (I used Kraft)
Mix above, put in fridge for at least a half an hour for flavors to blend.
Serve with the mini stone ground wheat crackers (got the recipe on the box).
Happy Entry into the third full week of January!

Warm enough for a nice walk.

2010
It's my blog and I will do what I want to, do what I want to, you would blog too if it happened to you... do do do do DO.
So I started posting a random picture from my phone that I took that day... which I will probably continue because I find it interesting.
I was also thinking of posting my meal plan each week, with links to recipes I am using. Have no idea how long that will last :)
Tons of small goals in my head and some bigger resolutions. Put together this together and posted it on the fridge and in my work notebook.
Meal Plan for Next Week:
Sunday - Doug asked to be in charge and is doing a Pork Loin.
For the Football game I am making this for the first time: Holiday Bacon Crackers along with a Sausage Cheese Dip my husband adores.
Monday: Chicken and Broccoli Bowls
Tuesday: Chicken Tacos (chicken breasts in small crock pot with tack seasoning, tomatoes, and beans)
Wednesday: Pizza Night
Thursday: Leftover Night
Friday: Leftover/Soup and Sandwich Night
Saturday: NA!
Sunday: Pulled Pork
What are you eating?
Note: Idea for putting words over a black and white picture came from this lady

Something Doesn't Add Up
Spent yesterday and today cleaning out junk, 6 bags of trash from organizing and consolidating book shelves, toy bins, and office stuff.
And yet everywhere I look, it appears this house is in a continuing state of chaos.
A shoe here, a toy there, a random empty wrapping paper near the window, a dog toy here, here, here, and here, outdoor cushions that I have no idea what to do with sitting in front of the fireplace...
This is the sound of my head exploding, "@)#$)(@*#)$(*#"

Aubrey's New Dress
Part of Aubrey's birthday present from Aunt Debi this year was a "date" and a shopping trip. One of the things Aubrey got is this BEAUTIFUL "prom" dress. It really is lovely. And Aubrey had a wonderful, fabulous, perfect day!
And of course it twirls!
Silver slippers too!

Created a Monster
and the monster is me... I started sewing just a few weeks ago. That led to following a bunch of new blogs, which led to more and more ideas for crafts or sewing projects.
Today, swim lessons got canceled at the last minute, we hit Wal Mart for a few grocery items for the week, and an idea I have been having took shape. I picked up 7 shirts that ranged from 2-7 dollars. I made these today:
And the M and the flower were just my first attempts before I went with what I wanted to do - which is make Christmas shirts for all the cousins we will see on Christmas Eve. I still need to find a 9-12 month red or white onesie but otherwise I am done :) YAY me!
These are reverse appliqued if you are wondering :)
Of note, Aubrey spent the day with her Aunt Debi, one child in the house is ridiculously easy! It helps that she is exhausted and napping, but still :) It sure is quiet. Rooms have been organized, beds stripped, washed, and re-made, fridge cleaned out... and it goes on.

Aubrey is 5!
... ok she turned 5 on the 24th of last month. I have been 1) emotional 2) out of town 3) swamped or 4) ALL OF THE ABOVE.
But we did have a blast on the Saturday before Aubrey's birthday. You can call it a LIE, I call it creative parenting --> I told Aubrey that Saturday was her birthday. I had family call that day to sing to her.
We picked up 2 friends and we went to Build A Bear. Without prior notice, and with only 4 kids, the folks there were able to give us the full party experience! Name tags, hearts, pictures, etc! It was great. Each girl picked any bear they wanted, one accessories (wig, panties, shoes), one outfit. They had a blast and each animal was unique and really showed each girls personality.
We then headed to Ultimate Play Zone. We bounced and climbed and jumped and laughed and had a blast. Nana stopped by and played and went to lunch and cake with us!
From there we walked over to Boardwalk Burger and Fries. By now it is more like chaos than fun (for me anyway).
And then we all came back to our house and had cake, started watching Hannah Montana the movie (but didn't watch more than 10 minutes), went outside, played, played and then we took everyone home.
From there Aubrey wanted to go to the Club for crab cakes... we dressed up, picked up our nephew, and hit HVGC for a nice dinner.
Sunday we had a birthday party with my family for Aubrey at my Nana's.
With Nana!
With Brianna
With our new Build a Bears
Friends and Cake!
Cake!

Brown's Orchard
On the way home from work tonight I called Doug and said, "I am tired of real life, let's go on adventure". And while it may seem tame to you, it was exciting for the girls and we had a BLAST! We drove up to PA and went to Brown's Orchard. We got a HUGE pumpkin, tons of 'baby' pumpkins, and had a nice dinner together!
No we didn't get these... but close!
This child likes to pose!
--------------------------
On the way home Doug was rubbing my neck as I was driving and Molly asked him why he was doing that, Aubrey answered, "Cause daddy loves mommy the best". Then Aubrey said, " I wish I had a boyfriend". I said, "No you don't!!"... Crazy child.
