We have two dump trucks and two bulldozers out here working on our culvert in our driveway.
They would rather watch them. Think Ill go join them. Ha!Okay, were back, I guess that was educational.
Dallas is getting frustrated in Phonics, she goes a little fast so Im gonna have to slow him down and go back and highlight some areas hes having trouble with. We have got a long day today.
After school, homework then a little rest we go to have Dakotas football pictures made at 5:30 and his game is not til 8pm. Ugh!!!Now, were enjoying a lunch of Roast, potatoes, and fresh peas.
The bulldozers have almost got our driveway and pasture all shaped up, this has been a long time coming.
Just read a very informative tip on one of my favorite blogs. Ill share it with you:
There are a lot of pre-made mixes and frozen foods that we have come to rely on. Sure, they are convenient, but we are paying for that convenience. Instead, look into cooking from scratch. Many things take hardly any longer than the convenience food version. Take a cake or brownie mix for example. It takes me exactly five minutes longer to bake a cake from scratch as opposed to using a baking mix. As an added bonus, I know exactly what's in that cake.
This is so true, I have done comparisons myself and I can make the same thing from scratch and not spend near as much money. Plus, we know whats in there. She is so right.
Another good tip is, if you make way too much of one thing for supper, instead of putting it in the fridge and then it never be eaten, put it in a storage container and freeze it. You can pull it out later. Example, Spaghetti. I always make too much.
I just freeze the rest and have a meal already prepared for the next time. I throw some homemade bread with it and wholah!!!!Just read another interesting tidbit. In this stage of our childrens life, nothing is more important than teaching. If you are pushing them away to do laundry or other chores, then we are not teaching. The laundry can wait and so can other things. Pay attention to them first, then get them to help with the chores later. This is more quality time spent together by talking.
Well I got one ill one on my hands,
hes going down for a nap. Think well join him and then get homework done before we go to game. Tell you how it goes tomorrow.
