10am- Went to Ikea with son, daughter, and friend
12pm- Tried to help Cole not freak out everytime we took him away from something, this is also when we started bribing him with a cinnamon bun, and about the time that my shoulders were down to my hips from carrying Gracie around in front carrier
12:30pm- tried to give Cole hot dog instead of cinnamon bun
12:45pm- Cole drank soda
1pm- Unloaded kids and Ikea goodies from the car (with help of friend-thank you!)
2pm- Threw food into crockpot
2:30pm- Rested
4pm- Went to Home Depot with Hubby and kids
5pm- After helping Cole to feel better because he wasn't allowed to do something for the umptinth time, let Cole play with a paint bottle sampler - bright orange
5:05pm- Cleaned half bottle of paint off Home Depot floor and off screaming child (Cole)
5:30pm- Home Depot lady explained to us that the cheap paint we wanted would actually take more coats than a more expensive brand would unless we wanted to buy a different tinted primer for every paint color.....back to square one
6:30pm- Got home
6:40pm- Served up a lovely dinner magically provided by Mrs. Crockpot in which mom didn't have to do any work before eating it. It was WONDERFUL!
Tonight we ate Scalloped Potatoes and Chicken, recipe from "Fix-it and Forget-it Cookbook". It was tasty, and next time I will add broccoli or some other wholesome green food; it just needed it.
Xoxox.
I just saw your new blog! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo I have to confess something- I always thought my Crockpot was...... a male! I don't know why, but I saw your comment about "Mrs. Crockpot" and just realized it. Maybe because my HOT CHOCOLATE maker is made by "Mr. Coffee"! Who knows, but thanks for the laugh!
Oh, and I can totally picture the Home Depot scene..... Welcome to "toddler"hood! Love it!
Hey, I have that cookbook and I'm not sure if i've ever used it. I'm going searching for that recipe. I love a good crockpot meal!
