Good Morning! It's Wednesday! Hard to believe it is already Wednesday. The long weekend went by way too fast! Maddie got out of school an hour early on Friday. We hung out here at home on Friday night. Then on Saturday it was yucky out and so the kids had to stay inside most of the day. Maddie was bored and so she ended up going to my mom and dad's house to spend the night. She and Grandma worked on "scrapbooking". Maddie came home with 3 pages for her book! She was proud of the way they turned out! On Sunday morning we went to 10:30 church and then came home and made brunch. Maddie called a friend and had her spend the night. On Monday we went to Clear Lake and met up with Adam's brother and his family and also one of his friends and his girlfriend. It was great to see everyone. After lunch we went to Mason City and went to Hobby Lobby and also SuperWalmart! It was great fun shopping at Hobby Lobby with 4 children (our 3 plus Maddie's friend)! We dropped her friend off in Algona on our way back home.
On Tuesday Brennan was here. Maddie was back to school. I finally got organized and last week planned out a lunch and dinner menu for us that I will rotate each week so that we can have a plan for our meals around here. Brace yourselves for this part....I, Stephanie, cooked 2 meals yesterday! Yes, me! I did it! When Adam came int he house for lunch yesterday it was ready for him to eat. I made goulash. Now I did not like goulash when I was a kid, but I must say that I really do like it now. It was something I thought would be great for the kids too. Well, I was wrong. Neither one of them would eat it. Adam ate one helping and then told me that he really does not like goulash. I guess he had it to eat alot when he was little and got tired of it. The weather was nice and so we got to spend some time outside when Maddie came home from school. The kids jumped on the trampoline and played on the swingset. We put Brennan in the baby swing outside and he loved it! Kinnick was a little jealous that someone else was using the swingset, but he got over it. Maddie took him over to the trampoline and he was happy. After Brennan got picked up to go home with his mommy I let the kids play outside a little bit longer while I finished getting supper on the table. Yes, you heard right, I also had supper ready for the family last night. I tried a new recipe in my crock pot and it turned out to be really good. Everyone ate it, even Maddie. I took 4 boneless pork chops and browned them in a skillet. Then I put them in the bottom of the crock pot. I cut up 2 onions and put them in next. Then I dumped a can of mushroom pieces over that. I mixed up a can of cream of mushroom soup, lipton dry onion soup mix, and a little water and then dumped that on top of the onions and mushrooms. I turned the crock pot on low and cooked it for 6 hours. The next thing I did was make some white rice to have as a side dish. Are you all impressed or what? Tonight I am making french dip sandwiches in the crock pot. Just call me Betty Crocker!
Today I do not babysit so it will be just the boys and I all day until Maddie gets home from school. Adam worked on machinery all day yesterday, until about 10 last night and he will be outside all day again today. Most likely all week to make sure that things are ready to go for harvest!
Well, my rice krispies are just calling my name so I am going to eat my breakfast and drink my coffee now! Have a super day! Love, Steph
