Fixing a Lunch Buffet

Had no idea I was going to have a house full of kids today but I’m glad I took the rest of the week off to be with the kids. We were hoping to get away for a couple of days, but hubby is busy with work and the kids seem more interested in staying home so they can play with their friends, so that’s fine, too.

With all these girls at our house I decided to fix a Mexican buffet for their lunch. I  cooked a big batch of ground beef and set out all the different fixings for a taco bar. I put out chopped tomato, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream and both hard taco shells and soft tortillas. Since I love avocados, I made some fresh guacamole and put it out with Doritos chips.

Now I can let them fix their own food and disappear upstairs for some peace and quiet.

Rainbows

Something that I remind myself, without the rain there can be no rainbows. I saw a double rainbow this afternoon on my way home. It looked like it might end near my house. Wouldn’t that be nice to come home to?

Arts & Crafts is a great hobby

When I was younger, my family was entirely into arts & crafts. It brought the family together and it was so much fun creating our own independent ideas and sharing them with everyone else. So today Im pulling out my old arts & crafts box and letting my imagination run wild and rapid. Maybe even get the kids to join in with me when they return from school.

Uptown

The first time I heard this on the radio I knew that it was going to be a hit! It’s been out for several months now and I still get excited when I hear it played. How anyone can listen to this and not want to get up and dance, I’ll never know!

House Full of Little Girls

Our youngest asked if a few of her girl friends could come over today and play and then spend the night tonight, of course I said yes, even though it is a Sunday and tomorrow is Monday, it is no problem, school is our and I have off tomorrow and won’t have to worry about the kids being at the house by themselves.

I must say though, that she has a great group of friends, very low maintenance kids, noisy at times, and always hungry, other then that they are no problem to have over and it is good to hear the laughter of little girls all over the house, it makes me giggle hearing them all.

Ah too bad that youth is wasted on the young, isn’t it?
