I am so excited about so many things and instead of putting it all on facebook where people really don't care I thought I would blog about it so I could read it later.
First let me start off by saying my house looks like it threw up, yes it is truly that bad! No, that does not make me excited, it stresses me out! I always start with the negative and end on a positive, so there is my negative!
Dylan just cut his forth tooth! He has been a drooling mess and a very fussy baby boy as well! He chews on everything that he can pick up and even tries to chew on the things he can't pick up. He is trying so hard to walk, I think he could if he would trust himself. I have caught him many times standing alone, but once he realizes what he is doing he sits down. I am steaming him some fresh fruits and veggies, mmmmm!!! He is going to love that! I have got some squash going right now. I will also do some green beans, carrots, pears, and if I have time apples.
We leave on Saturday to go to Clearwater Beach FL to meet Winter the dolphin from the movie A Dolphin's Tale. We are all VERY excited about that! Which means I HAVE to get this house clean! I can't stand to leave on a trip with a messy house! I have truly got to get my butt in gear. It is going to be a LONG drive, like 9 hours, for just a weekend. It is going to be so worth it though! I am planning on packing lots of things for the kids to do and maybe even take some time to catch up on coupon clipping.
I have a surprise going for 2 different people. Neither know to even expect anything so when we finally mail out the packages I will be excited to hear, well probably more like read, their responses.
I have been trying some new recipes this week. Tuesday I made Shrimp and Grits, Wednesday I made a White Pork Cheesy Chili, Thursday (tonight), I am going to try a Chinese Casserole, and Friday (tomorrow) I am going to try a crockpot Cilantro and Lime Chicken. So far everything has been a huge hit with everyone in the house, including little miss picky, Lynley.
Lynley is in the first grade, in her class they are having issues with kids stealing from other kids and stealing things from the teacher. I have talked with Lynley about this every night, reminding her how wrong it is and reminding her that if she ever sees anything it is ok to tell the teacher. She assures me every time that she does not know who it is doing it and that she has no part of it. I am proud of my sweetie for knowing right from wrong, for making good choices, and for keeping God first in her life. She is an awesome GOD GIRL!!!
Well that is all for today. Time to go check on the veggies and start working on this sick looking house.
