Yes!!!! Another week over 1/2 way completed!
I went to Curves. I placed our produce co-op order.
School didn't go according to our normal schedule this a.m. because we discovered we were out of TWO essentials: milk and dog food. While at Sam's, I picked up 3 types of cheese and 10 lbs of beans. I think I had a craving for beans and rice. ::snort::
I decided to get some beans going in the crock pot. My thought was that I could later turn them into refriend beans. Josiah loves to throw beans and cheese in a tortilla for a quick snack/lunch. One thing led to another and before I knew it I'd thrown all the ingredients for our favorite refried beans into the crock pot...along with a cup of rice because I wanted it to thicken up and I didn't want to drain the spicey liquid. It worked wonderful. At 5 hours I had some savory beans and rice for dinner instead of a steak.....and at 8 hours I had only to stir to get refried beans...no fat. LOL
Jamin and I continued to work through the HUGE curriculum for driving in TX. I can't believe all the work that goes into getting a permit or license down here. Good stuff - but surprising - I've not noticed the drivers down here to be any better than any other state we've lived in...and considerably worse when it rains! ::snort:: ::ducking::
Mike came home and burned the steaks for me. I fielded several phone calls while making bisquits, fruit, and oven fries....Jamin threw a "man's salad" together. Do y'all know what a mans salad is? HUGE pieces of lettuce, quarters of red peppers, and quarters of carrots....very basic but manly, yes! LOL
Oy vey - WHAT did she do NOW????? She went potty in the toilet! I think she is training herself....I'd best get on board. ::snort:: Quite the change from Zander who cared NOTHING about such things until he was past 3.
The younger ones, Michael, and I, headed to a new building area to find an errant rocket. We didn't find it. The older boys finished cleaning up dinner and met us. It was a great night for a walk.....lots of cool breeze...maybe fall will reach us here eventually.
Josiah had his first college exam today. He's not home but I trust it went well. He has another one on Friday.
I believe the Students are arriving back for Master's Commission this week. Bre and Krista both report being busy with preparations. The first week is always an orientation and a big trip up to the mountains/retreat etc. The second year students arrived last week. Bre was still trying to find a few more host homes for students last time I talked to her.

"man's salad" Ha! So my husband isn't the only one?
De'Etta....love the *man's salad*! LOL At least he puts in other veggies besides lettuce. ;)
Congratulations to Stacia!
Love the man's salad!
You are doing great with all your littles and school...I'm so impressed. You get so much done.
Good job, Stacia on the potty. Bessie was a self-trainer...she was so easy at everything!
The menfolk in my family use lots of cheese and thick creamy dressing (usually ranch) for their "man salads."
Congrats to Stacia... won't that be nice if she does it all herself? I'm hoping that will happen with Christian.
Good job, Stacia! Isaac is self training also and I think I like it this way.LOL
Stacia:
Congrats on you going potty all alone. What a big girl you are these days. We love you. See you at Christmas.

TOO funny about the "man" salad! Sounds like a BUSY day! Loved the pictures of the younger boys carrying a light bag of seed and the older one hefting a BIG bag on his shoulders!
I agree, this is a great thing to have on hand for a quick lunch. It's been hard to have Robert home--my daily challenge (which I rarely live up to) is lunch. I usually throw something together for the kids but don't eat myself. If I make the same thing for Robert, he'll look at it, and I can TELL he's thinking, nice snack--where's the food?????
:)
Yeah Stacia! Maybe she'll potty train all by herself.
mans salad...too funny!
