A Snow Day
It snowed in our area today. Can you tell?
Perhaps after playing outside, the girls began to dream of warmer weather. perhaps that's why they decided to play dress-up and go to Hawaii.
Success!
I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...
I wanna come play at YOUR house! Hawaii sounds divine right about now! After a minor snow yesterday, we've now been greeted with temps in the teens and wind chills in the negatives! Brr!
ReplyDeleteI know this morning was especially cold, because I put Bella's sweater on and then let her outside. She pottied in record time and for the four seconds she had to stand outside, she was flat out WHIMPERING. That never, ever happens! I had to bury her under a blanket on my lap for about 10 minutes before she'd stop shivering! Granted, she is a mix of two notoriously warm-weather breeds - chihuahua and dachshund, which probably explains the difficulty in trying to potty train her!
