- I am making Tater-Tot Casserole for dinner. Fancy I know :)
- If you don't have two cans of cream of "something" soup, you can use this as a replacement: Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup low-fat or fat free milk
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour; keep stirring until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and add the chicken broth and milk, a little at a time, stirring to keep smooth. Return to heat. Bring sauce to a gentle boil; cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed to taste.Use in casseroles in place of condensed cream soups.
Can be varied by using vegetable broth, sauteéd chopped celery, celery seed, or sauteéd chopped mushrooms. - Paul and I had an amazing time away this weekend. Short & Sweet
- We are having our annual "Secret Sister" adventures right now in my MOMS club...FUN STUFF!! I had a secret operation this afternoon that I must say was very successful :)
While sitting on my couch folding my clothes, my doorbell rang this afternoon and I recieved a secret sister grab bag! I've recieved some pretty cool things from my SS! Can't wait for the reveal on May 2nd, because as of right now, I have NO clue who it could be. - On Sunday, the girls played outside barefoot until bathtime. Today, while walking around downtown it was snowing! Crazy weather!
- I am taking my girls to visit our friends that moved...Big wee one is super excited and is talking about it non-stop! We are leaving on Thursday after my morning meeting, and I am now thinking I should have waited to tell her until I picked the girls up on Thursday morning...I guess I'll just keep answering the order of events for the next two days.
- Friday afternoon Big wee one has dance class pictures!! CAN'T WAIT! I would dress her up and take some pics for you, but you know what happened last time....ooops.
- On Saturday morning, we went with Mimi to an Easter egg hunt. It was freezing outside, but the girls got chcolate!
these were the only decent pictures from the very cold egg hunt
- Big wee one just came up to me and asked me if I would yell, "Big wee one's a STAR!" during her dance recital when she's on stage...she's funny!
- Here's the cute couple we hit B-more with this past weekend. I'm gonna eat now...peace!
Big wee one and I were just about to start taking some self-portraits when Little wee one ran over and actually wanted in the pictures. Shocked? I am! These are some of the cuter ones that came out. Sorry the girls look all scruffy, but it was right before bed time :) Little wee one is actually smiling, even though she's not looking at the camera. :) And my head looks big and round...definitely not a nice angle for me!
You have to do the silly face shot.
Or two...this one is tongue themed.
Big wee one left and Little wee one still wanted to take pictures. I was thrilled!
Here we are at MOMS night out. Those two are some funny gals :)
What is she laughing that hard about?? Can you guess?? I bet you could never guess, because why would you think anything bad if you know a bunch of moms are hanging out playing "dirty bingo"?? Some lucky lady went home with a packet of "Cock" soup...that's right! Cock flavored soup. I'll just let that sing in. 
I seem to entertain those around me, and this was no exception. One mom pulled out her dirty bingo gift from last year! This mom is now pregnant...wonder if she pulled out this "fireman's outfit"...lol, just kidding. I'm pretty sure she didn't pull it out, and I'm also pretty sure they make these "nice" outfits for ladies the size of toothpicks. This is me doing my "fat guy in a little coat" impersonation. My undies remind me of wonder woman...hehehe.
We've had spurts of nice days and when that happens we head to the park. Big wee one got her face painted at school, hence the cool pink semi-rubbed off tattoo on her forehead.
Little wee one is still a little weary of the park equipment. She goes very slowly and says, "I not scared, I not scared. I can do it." Cutie.
She decided to ditch the big kid stuff and head to the dinosaur.
This was the clan that we went to the park with. Out of my 6-pack girlfriends, there are only 4 boys out of 16 kids! There is always a lot of high pitched squealing going on.
If no one is around she'll go down the slide, but if people are around...forgetta bout it.
These girls were going insane with the squealing on this tire swing. It was pretty cute! Oh, wait...I see a boy on there, but I do remember him asking very quickly to get off...hehe.
CHEEESSEEEE!
Wednesday night was lax night. The guys had a game at home, and though it had rained all day, it wasn't that cold out. It was actually pretty humid, so I layered the girls in their pj's and then sweats on top and we headed to the game. They did awesome (the girls and the team), but were completely soaked when we left! The bleachers had little puddles and were just wet, but they had fun and didn't complain once about being wet.
When I was pulling up to the stadium, my stomach got a little excited. This view completely reminds me of high school. The excitment for the Friday night game! The lights, the smell of the concession stand food, the drums from the band, the stadium filled with people. I don't care if you were in the band, worked the gate, played football, cheered, sat in the stadium, hung out under the bleachers, danced in the dance line...whatever it was, if you went to high school and went to Friday night football games (especially in TX) you know that excited feeling I'm talking about...and these big lights so reminded me of that!
Here's Coach Flohr prep talking a player. I didn't get very good pictures because my battery started dying, my lense started to fog up and the light and dark mode couldn't quite mesh into happy harmony. Hence blur.
He looks so handsome out there, all serious like!
The wee ones enjoying the game. Little wee one is really starting to spurt up, she's in the pink jacket. Doesn't she look tall?? Her legs are starting to get long as well...taking after her sister and her grandma.
Apparently, when it's really humid and muggy out Little wee one gets little ringlets and it is so stinking cute!! I kept asking her if I could take her picture and she kept telling me no, which isn't a big surprise, but it would have been cute to have her looking at me with a smile and her ringlets.
More ringlets :)
In a very rare moment, Paul and I are both home at 8:00 pm and are both ready for bed. Have a great night!
