Thursday 13: Letter D 2008

time for soup and sandwiches

on winter nights when it seems like we are bouncing from school to ballet to tae kwon do and every where in between, i love to make soup.

on tonight's menu: roasted butternut squash and shallot soup. it is a simple three step process: roast, blend, simmer. this soup is so good! better than that, i can do everything but warm it up earlier in the day.

then we finally get home, warm it up, make some grilled cheese and dinner is served.

as i write this at 7:43 pm, both kids are already fast asleep. daylight savings time has taken its toll on the kids.
as

well

as me!

this morning when the kids came in between 5-5:30, i was seriously wishing they had a snooze button on them. i can honestly say i would totally be the first one to bop them on the head for nine more minutes of sleep!

thankfully they didn't have school today. something called FDEA on the school calendar. i don't know what FDEA is, but I am ever so grateful for it.

Husband did have to get up to go to work, so he fed them breakfast. thank you Husband! whew hoo....got to sleep in just a bit anyway.

happy monday, y'all

drive to WDW, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

livi has started watching the song and dance parts of Glee with me. this afternoon she BEGGED me to download "Sweet Caroline" that Puck (Mark Salling) sang last week. just imagine her singing dancing. kind of scary she knows how to put it on repeat on my iphone.

**picture is just a random shot of her from the drive down to Disneyworld. we stopped in macon, ga. this is some fountain by this fun little place we had dinner.**
