Well the crock pot has been my BFF yesterday and today. When I just had Chorley I was told that I was going to be receiving some help by being given some time to help me prepare some freezer dinners to make my readjusting period easier, but somehow that never came about, and I was seriously disappointed. I really miss having my mothers freezer meal swap group with the family and friends that I did when I was in Utah. I was looking forward to stocking up my freezer with some quick and easy meals. Esp with Austin's baseball games and practices, Sydney's softball practices and games, Austin with 2 days of after school math, one night of teaching Scouts, Sydney with activity days, and trying to get Chroley's feeding in there, and make dinner. Jeremy ended up going to back into working in the office again, a week sooner than we expected, so I needed some quick meal asap!!! So yesterday and today I've been cooking chicken in this crockpot almost nonstop to get some freezer meals done in and in the freezer. so far I've made:3 batches of chicken tortilla soup2 meals of Hawaiian chicken1 meal of Salsa chicken2 meals of Creamy Bacon chicken1 meal of Cheesy Italian chickenMost of the meals just need to be served with rice, or noodles and some veges from the steamer and we are good to go. I am super excited that I got soooo much done too.Day 47: ChorleyAge: 69 days old
Our silly doggie Lily, sometimes is very silly. She will get new toys and basically tear them apart until she reaches the "stuffing" of the toy. Then she feels she has succeeded in playing with the toy and is done with it. I don't feel the need to buy her new toys, but Jeremy gets sucked into getting her something "new" everytime he goes to Pet Smart. I have to tell Jeremy "No new toys!!!" yet last time he still came home with a new one. At least she is cute puppy and doesn't eat our shoes or other things.Day 46: ChorleyAge: 68 days old
Today was Valentines Day, I had all the kids dress in reds also. The kids got to exchange Valentines at school and were super excited to do that. The kids also got Valentines from the grandparents, and I always get them a little something, make them a card and leave it as a surprise for them on their bed. Jeremy and I get to indulge in a lovely chocolate satin pie this evening.. yeah for Marie Calender cheap pie month!!Day 45: ChorleyAge: 67 days old (big smiles)
Wow!!! The Simpsons are celebrating their 500 episodes!!! and so they had a big, huge party for the special occasion. Jeremy's work was invited of course, so we got to go out on a date to the big shin-dig. There was the yummiest food and dessert bar, I was a huge fan of the cake pops. There was a great band, games to play, Bart and Lisa to take pictures with and of course see all of Jeremy's work friends. It was at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, basically in the heart of Hollywood, somewhere that we don't go often, so of course I took a few pics.Day 44: ChorleyAge: 66 days old
Today was friends day over after school, both Austin and Sydney had a friend over, Sydney had Marley and Austin had Nathan. They played pretty well all together. Austin and Nathan played outside, some legos, and watched some Netflix. Sydney and Marley played their DSs against each other, did cheers and watched some Netflix also. Both of them had a blast, but I was pretty wiped out in the end.Day 41: ChorleyAge: 63 days old
