Today

We had one busy day around here.

We woke up early

Ate a yummy breakfast

All showered and bathed to get ready to go out.

In fact, I even snuck in a hair cut for the baby before bath time.

We went to our monthly Hands On Learning activity with our homeschooling group.

The kids LOVE it!

This month they worked on making props, theater and putting on small plays.

The girls did amazing!

The participated in the Little Engine That Could.

I SO wished I had had my camera, but I didn't.

What a great way to wrap up their school week though. 

My tummy has been acting up again something fierce, so I've gone back to a gluten and dairy free diet.

REALLY hard, but my body agrees with it, so I guess I must listen.

Finding yummy things that are gluten free is NOT easy!

Any suggestions really welcome!

Tonight's dinner turned out amazing though, and I was very pleasantly surprised.

Wegman's new Menu magazine came in this week and it had pages full of veggie ideas. 

When shopping this week I picked up a BUNCH of yummy fresh veggies and their new Indian Spicy Summer Sauce. Decided to give it a try tonight. 

In my skillet I put 2 TBSP Olive Oil and added

Mushrooms

Carrots

Green Beans

Broccoli

and Baby Corn

ALL FRESH!

Then I added a bit of salt and pepper and stirred for 3 mins

I then added 1 cp water and continued cooking for 10 mins while stirring

I then added 1 cp of the Spicy Indian Summer Sauce...

It smelled divine!

My husband threw in some water chestnuts too, he LOVES them!

I paired with some tilapia and long grain rice.

It was one DELICIOUS dinner! REALLY good and the kids liked it too!

My beautiful girls today, all dressed up for their outing.

I can't believe they are getting SO big!

So glad my little girl still loves me to do her hair and add bows. I'll cry a little inside when she'll want to do it herself. 

She is my little accessory queen. She LOVES purses, and jewelry and head pieces, shoes, earrings, etc.

How about this face?!?!?!

This reminds me of John Malcovich!

I had to show you his new haircut. 

I could not believe I buzzed it.

I only got out the clippers to buzz because usually it's such a nightmare, he usually screams and squiggles, so it's easier to just buzz and get it over with so it lasts longer.

And here the little honey stood on the stool in the bathroom and didn't move a muscle. 

Oh well, live and learn.

At least it will be done for awhile.

So we had a great day, we just finished evening prayers with daddy. They are watching a movie with some popcorn and they'll be headed to bed here before you know it.

We had a new niece ( cousin ) born today!

SO exciting!

January 20th, you are a good day!
