WONDROUS WEDNESDAY

~Breakfast made (eggs, muffins and pancakes) - Day 3 of school went WELL.

~Weigh In - YIPPEE! I've lost all holiday weight and two more lbs besides....another bike ride this a.m.

~We got the outside lights taken down today. I wanted to do it TODAY because we are supposed to be getting another cold snap. I didn't take into account the 25 mph winds. Yikes. (Photos to follow)

~Adrienne called and invited us to the park for an hour or so. I made up meat loaves and a quick salad, got Stacia down for a nap, picked up Ashley (Arielle's friend) and we headed to the park. Jamin watched Stacia and I had the cell phone if she woke up.

~Received two PBS books. "Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos", is in a new series I want to try....and "Keeping Our Children's Hearts" by Steve and Teri Maxwell.....unfortunately, this book is in BAD shape. I felt rude commenting on it and after I have it a few years it may look like that anyway. Adrienne, this is a book you can borrow and read in the bathtub. ::snort::

~Dinner - We actually have enough in our pantry to survive for several months, I think. ::snort:: We're only going to be running out of things like milk and eggs. LOL I was so glad I had the meat loaf ready to throw in the oven when we got home. I LOVE my french fry slicer attachment for the Bosch. I am using the SAME recipe for oven baked fries but now my youngers are gobbling them up. I made fries for them and roasted red potatoes, carrots, zucchini, celery and red pepper for the rest of us.

~We all decided that "King Arthur" simply wasn't working for us. Maybe in a year or so. The biggest drawback of the book is that *I* keep falling asleep within a page of starting the book. ::snort:: The children had quite the family council going to pick a replacement. We began "Jungle Book" tonight.
