A productive weekend...despite the sniffles

Megan had a cold this weekend, so except for Karate with Danny, Saturday was pretty much a day for working at home. Unfortunately, Megan missed her science club cleanup day and her church middle school event, but we had a very productive weekend, going throught closets and collecting this for donation to Good Will.

On Sunday after church, we completed a mini project of changing our bathroom linens. It is amazing how a different color scheme can completely change a room. Here it is before:

and after.

The kids absolutely love the brightness, and the fact that it looks like a big kids' bathroom now. Times they are a changin'.

Happy Birthday, Granny!

Happy Birthday, Granny! We love you so much and can't wait until our next visit. We hope you enjoy your day!

The One and Only

OK, I lied. Instead of sleeping, I sat down to a couple of pieces of pizza and a Newcastle Brown Ale.

I don't even call it beer because it is so far above the others. MMMMMmmmmmm.

Another one for the record books

This week has been another doozy. Aside from 50+ hours of work for both George and me (it was budget submission time for state government), I've also attended  two school open houses
George took Danny to karate class, we helped Megan through 4 hours per night of homework, as well as other daily stuff. Highlights of the week for me included meeting Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll and finding out today that we won the contest we entered at Megan's open house for a free yearbook! Awesome. Going to sleep now...

Yum, yum

Last night, after attending curriculum night at Danny's school, I needed to make a quick dinner. Luckily, I had the makings for Giada's Rolled Turkey and Apple Quesadillas on hand. I modified the recipe a little bit, using Boar's Head Everroast Chicken (it was on sale this week), but made them pretty much as directed. The kids and I were blown away at how good they are. The smoked mozzarella gives just the right amount of smoky flavor. I am even eating them right now for lunch as I type this. Yum, yum.
