so NOT a mu-mu
Posted in Ect., Foodie Goodness on August 28, 2012| 3 Comments »
one of the nicest things that was said to me at work today was,
“I really like your mu-mu”
…..this by a woman with very precarious dental health
It’s a Maxi Dress People!
(with a navy and white striped cardi and red beads straight from Africa to support women in poverty, don’t ya know)
……someday I’ll write a book about my adventures in school psychology
until then it will suffice to say the normal curve is both beautiful and terrifying in its extremes
and genetics benefit from diversity (the family tree SHOULD branch)
it’s the perfect night for:
one minute molten lava cake
the recipe is on my Pinterest board, Foodie Goodness
…..so good I might need to buy a mu-mu!
Pot holes and Smiley Faces
Posted in Ect. on August 12, 2012| 1 Comment »
so there have been a few pot holes in life lately
-these things are common to all humanity
but due to a PBS show I stumbled upon,
I’m focusing on the smiley, random, happy things in my life
So here goes:
A and G pretended to be Joe and Kelley-
they came up with some seriously funny stuff and giggled all night
one of my children telling me that Pancake Saturday was the happiest part of their week
I had no idea but will be breaking out the griddle more often!
Other random stuff that made me smile:
G in Trader Joe’s, saying, “Number 1 chewy bars” about 500 times
A reading and saying, “I’m so hooked to this book”- Thank you June Frear!
J consulting me about a wiring issue and our latest garage door drama-
this made me smile because I am mechanically impaired
but glad he asked for my insight
fun texts from my sisters
mellow mushroom pizza- Thank you Robin
my FPS peeps making me smile
J taking the kids on an adventure so I could read and soak in silence
God always loving me
Seeing my parents this week
new Fiesta plates
coffee with a good friend
smiley faces all around

I asked this handsome guy to take me to the mountains for my birthday.
He did not disappoint.
G said, “This is the most fun I’ve had in years!” – he’s four.
A said, “this is why they call it the GREAT outdoors”
one of nine elk we saw
may have to be a new tradition

strawberry and goat cheese bruschetta with basil- summer in a bite
has nothing to do with this post though:
I think I’m going a bit bonkers, I flat-out lied to my kids at dinner.
Without batting an eye, I vehemently denied that the pasta dish I served contained mushrooms.
I didn’t feel up to the battle. Honesty matters a great deal to me and I blew it with my kids over mushrooms.
I love being at home but I miss my work friends, and soccer taco, and wearing real clothes and make-up on a regular basis, and not cleaning till my hands are raw, and having real grown up conversations.
There are only so many crafts and kiddie centric activities one can create before going bonkers, just saying.

G made a “mixer, can-opener, battle-ax, gun, sword for robots and chicken raptors” out of foil and recycled trash.

Calzones and Complaining

Our best times are spent when the kids get artsy at the kitchen table and I’m cooking around.
This little guy is finally digging it
We’ve had an out break of complaining and disputing-hoping to remedy that.
This is a crazy good kiddie lunch from pinterest:
crescent rolls, half a mozzarella cheese stick, and turkey pepperoni
soo very good when I’ve had mac and cheese and pbjs for lunch for weeks
week in review
