Seriously.
Haha, I did cut up an apple and orange to go with it. At first I thought I'd title my post, "Constipation, it's what's for dinner," but then I thought my mom would tell me it was gross, so I decided against it :).
Remember about 5 months ago (maybe more) when I planted some random carrot seeds to see if they'd grow at the end of fall, then I forgot about them? Wait, you don't remember because who posts weird things like that on their blog? Anyways, we were cleaning out our back yard this weekend, and look what we found:
Yeah, not touching (aka eating) those with a 10 foot pole, but it was pretty cool to actually pull something out of our 'garden' that completely didn't yield anything last year :). And Cara thought it was really cool!
Who puts a crock pot meal in the crock pot at 5 pm, especially when you've already decided you're not 'cooking' dinner and are feeding your kids cheese and crackers.....that's right, ME!
Eric doesn't get to come home all week for dinner (or lunch), so he needs meals to take to school for lunch and dinner besides PB & J. So, I made this pulled BBQ chicken last night. It smelled really good. So good in fact that after the kids were in bed, before he got home, I wanted some, decided I didn't want to pull the bones off the chicken (that's his job, I have a weird chicken/beef issue), and ate a 50% off cadbury creme egg instead :).
Cara started swim lessons on Monday. She goes once a week for 8 weeks. Don't get me started (and if you were one of the few friends/my husband that I unleashed my anger on that day, SORRY). But you can't see this picture and stay mad:
For once, it wasn't her being bad, she just didn't get to practice many skills because each time the instructor would take her out, little miss Mia decided she needed to go under water and half drown so they'd have to hurry back. I had a discussion with the owner lady (I guess that's who she is). It won't be the same next week, or we're signing up elsewhere. She apologized. I'm fine. Not bitter still. Still not talking about a 3 year old's swim lesson. Ok, maybe I am, I just don't spend that kind of money very often and I am going to get what I pay for dangit :). Done with RANT!
Another cute picture:
And yes, that's my 3 year old in a 6/6x swimsuit. She's a giant :).
What do you do when you want to sweep up the carpet of pollen, but you don't want to actually sneeze for the next two days, why you put your kids to work, of course!
Just kidding, they were just playing in the driveway while Eric swept, and wanted to 'help.' But they're cute!
We are a family that always eats organic and healthy. Especially when Mommy is pregnant and feels like laying on the couch all day. I don't ever serve my kids leftover chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. Nope, NOT ME :)
Ok, if you know me well, you know I, as well as my kids, eat awful (awfully?) when I'm pregnant. Sorry, I try to make up for it when I actually care and want to cook, but these days, whatever is easiest to grab is what goes in the mouth!
Ok, I think that's enough randomness for today :)
Go visit Tot2Tot if you haven't lately. We have thousands of items for sale on Saturday, we are SO excited for our first sale!!!

You made me laugh...a lot...with this post. The funny thing is that you are not alone. We should all do a blogging carnival of the everyday not so "perfect" home life.
Today Caleb had lean cuisine for lunch. Have you seen my son? He does not need any lean food right now. LOL. But he loves the alfredo pasta Brad buys for lunch. :)
Your dinner made me think of one of my dirty little parenting secrets: On nights when I am exhausted, my almost-6 year old makes "mixtures" for dinner (that is his word). He takes out a bowl, dumps in a handful of goldfish, a few types of cereal, maybe some shredded cheese, a package of fruit snacks, etc. and that is what he eats for dinner.
I'm just happy he's eating something and that I didn't have to prepare it.
