Snippets

My schedule is kind of wonky today, which is why I’m typing this up at 9:45. 😉   And the wonky schedule is why I’m just gonna throw together a post of random snippets.

When the girls had a friend over for two days last week, we made the moldable chocolate cookie dough.

Which is supposed to be bears or pretzels, but very little of our dough ends up as those two items, because my kids like to be more creative.

We went swimming a LOT in the last week.

Zoe thought she could hide behind her feet.

But I’m patient enough to wait for feet to move. 😉

I let the kids use my camera, and as I looked through the files, I found proof that Zoe is not the only clown in our family.

I’m not sure who took this one, but I like the sparkles.

I’m working on all the small projects necessary to put Sonia and Zoe’s room back together…switchplates, hanging things on the wall, and also a bunch of spray painting.

I have a fair number of random items that are going to go together on their walls, so I’m spray painting them all white so that they’ll match.

I just have a few things left to paint, and then I need to fill the frames with the photos the girls want.

Then curtains, a wall of chalkboard paint, and I think I’ll be done!

Mr. FG was out of town for work earlier this week, so I made BBQ chicken, because the kids like it, and he’s not a big fan.

I used a head of cauliflower from my produce box to make these cauliflower breadsticks, and while we felt no one could possibly confuse them with real breadsticks, they did meet with more kid approval than any other cauliflower recipe I’ve tried.

(please excuse the not-lovely photo, taken after the sun went down)

The only thing is, they made the house smell funky. I hate that about broccoli/cauliflower/cabbage. Why must they be so odiferous??   The smell makes me not want to cook them at all.

Alllllrighty…that’s all the snippets from me for today.   I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
