Check another food off of Laura’s list! The German in her popped out…. We had bratwurst for dinner and she was curious about the sauerkraut. We talked her into trying it and she loved it!
Kindle Fire!
Today’s goal is to get to know this little beauty! I did not have much time yesterday to really sit down and play around though I did get to load some books and a few apps. So far, I LOVE IT! Thanks Dad and Marilyn for the great birthday present!
Sigma Chi Scholarship Luncheon
Andy and I went to the Sigma Chi Scholarship Luncheon for the Xi Xi chapter at the University of Missouri today. The luncheon is given by the Mom’s Club and scholarship and leadership awards totaling over $26,000 were given to a number of the men. It was excellent to see a great program like that, because that particular Chapter has had some issues. Andy helped to restart the chapter after they lost their charter for a number of valid reasons and now he works with them in his role as Grant Praetor. One of the highlights for me was the end when the men (current active chapter and alumni) get together and serenade the women with “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.” This is quite an experience that just never gets old.
Think they were tired?
Kindergarten and daycare must be exhausting…
Dinner with Great Friends
The Lowerys came over for dinner tonight. A great time was had by all! We tried a new recipe (Chicken Asparagus Roll-ups), the kids got much-needed play time, and the adults got some relaxation time. I usually use a picture of the kids for picture of the day, because, really, who doesn’t love a picture of three adorable kids? However, this one was too good to pass up!
Stephens Lake Park
After school today, Laura and I went to Stephens Lake Park until it was time to pick up Andy. We had a great time and I got to play with my new pocket camera. I’m really going to miss that hour or so that I get with our little Peppermint Patty when I have a real job again and she has to have after school care.
Easy, Easy
Want an easy dinner? Insert Weber Grill Marinade and your meat of choice. Mix the marinade with oil and water and pour it over the meat. Let it sit (in our case, the meat marinates while it thaws) and then grill. Throw in a couple of side dishes and dinner is served! It’s easy, easy and delicious too!
