It’s been one of those busy, fun days around here. Savannah and I decided to try a new recipe this morning for Summer Fruit Punch Salad.
There she is being oh so helpful. She used to help in the kitchen because she liked helping. Now she just wants to know when she can lick the bowl. The rest is too hard and too “boring”. Where did she learn that word anyways???
And speaking of recipes. I added another one to my Cooking Blog called Black Bean Salsa. I can’t believe I hadn’t done it before now because it’s one of my favorites. Eat it with tortilla chips or spoon it over grilled chicken breasts. Mmmmm…sooo goooood!
After making the jello we all went to Chick-fil-a where I was meeting someone to see if I could help her set up a Crown budget. She turned out to be just the sweetest person and the kids had a great time nibbling on their nuggets in between trips down the slide.
Before we got in the car I got each of them their complimentary ice cream cones (Did y’all know Chick-fil-a gives away kiddie cones??? I did not know this until recently, so I feel it’s my duty to get the word out). I thought the cold treat would keep Emery awake until I got home but about 2 miles from our house I looked back to see him fast asleep, with his half eaten ice cream cone upside down and melting all over the car seat.
I don’t know what it is about sleeping in the car for a few minutes that makes my kids think nap time is officially over, but I was determined to wear that little boy out somehow and get my his 2 hour nap in this afternoon. So I enlisted his help in washing my car.
Then, after eating our jello, I put the sleepy boy down for his nap and spent the last few hours making last minute preparations for a Ladies Tea at our church tonight. It is going to be so great! God has been in the details for this event and I will share more about that tomorrow. Until then….
