So I grilled eight or nine pounds of chicken breast, Margaret cut up green peppers and onions and sautéed them a bit, we made a big pan rice, and got out the fresh salsa and cheese sauce, ect.,and had rice bowls. With freshly grilled chicken, mmm.
The house is rather a mess this morning. They cleaned up some of the toys, but the duplo blocks are out, and some trucks, and a few dolls and stuffed animals, a few FisherPrice blocks, a sip cup, a stray pretzel...it's like going back in time, waking up to such a messy house on Saturday morning. Only way back when, I would have had a baby in my arms, and tiny child on each arm of my chair, no doubt carrying the aroma of pancake syrup. I would have already changed several diapers, stripped a few beds, the washer and dryer would certainly both be humming along, and the dishwasher too. My coffee would be cold, and the cup set in a random place, to be found equally randomly later, and drank up thankfully, no matter the temperature, YAY, I found my coffee!, I drank iced coffee before iced coffee was cool.
Do I like noise and chaos? I'm not going to say. But I will say this: I love those kids. They bring laughter and joy and life itself, into the house.
So I did make it to the pool yesterday, felt fantastic once again. In the Never A Dull Moment category, the check engine light is on in the truck, and our oven isn't working. (I found this out after mixing up a low carb pumpkin muffin recipe, the oven wouldn't warm up). Hopefully the truck isn't anything serious, and Paul has already ordered a new ignitor for the oven. Tomorrow, we've invited the entire family over to celebrate some birthdays, and now I cannot bake any cupcakes. I'm thinking ice cream pies...shh, I don't even know what I'm making for dinner yet! I bought all that chicken breast to make chicken and gravy tomorrow, but used it last night...maybe we should just order pizza...:)
Yeah, so I need to clean things up, and get moving...we have a house we're painting today, Paul's already there and I need to get going...

Grinning...you are so blessed, smiles. I see y'all are having some sort of Indian summer? I see it is like 70 today, here in Florida it is 85. smiles
I’m new at following blogs but am so enjoying yours! I stumbled upon yours when reading another one. Many blessings to you from me in Kentucky!
I freely admit that I would have been outside sitting on the steps!! All that chaos and you handle it like the champion you are!! The kids are all adorable and I know they love being together with cousins and siblings and especially with grandma!! xo
Linda, yes, warm weather here, it's absolutely gorgeous...last evening, the moon shining, like a summer night. The trees are bare now mostly, and the fallen leaves are swirling around in the wind...it's nice. For now, ha.
Hello to you in Kentucky, glad to meet you!
Terri, I try:). They are all so adorable! And they're coming again tomorrow...!
Is Camille doing the NaNoRiMo or however it is spelled? I've always thought that was inspiring!
