Have a great weekend!

No time to write. We're in the middle of the biggest infrastructure project in our family's history.

I must get back to the blocks.

Books With No Pictures

That's what Claire calls chapter books. She cannot read at that level yet. But I read to her from them almost everyday.
I'm currently on the lookout for some good books. She loves the Magic Tree House series, so I can always go to one of those. She also loves Little House books but we've read most of them and I want to make it last. I love reading those books. And I love watching my girls pretend that they are Ma and Laura and Mary.
Soon I'll share some of the books that we've been reading, along with any comments my Kindergartner wants to make about them.

Shopping anyone?

I want to go shopping. Now. And I'm not even half way through 30 Days of Nothing. Not even half way. I was thinking that if I bought something now with my credit card and then didn't pay the bill until after the 30 days, I'd be good. Right? I know, I know. I'm really stretching here.


I did go to Aldi today. Not exactly the shopping I had in mind though. I now have $86 and 17 days left. We really have enough food here, but you know, I found some good deals...




I used two of the Angelfood chicken breasts to make this. The chicken is good. Same quality as any frozen chicken breasts I've bought in a grocery store. The bruschetta chicken bake was a new recipe for me. It came in a Kraft magazine in the mail. It was only ok.

Did I mention that I want to go shopping?
