Breakfast

I have trouble finding time to make breakfast for myself. I’ll make a Waffle House worthy meal for by hubby on the weekends (he is up and out the door early on weekdays), and the kiddos have a yummy breakfast to start the day everyday, even the cats wake up to a full bowl of kitty food, some how Nico gets neglected in the morning. Most days I’m a grab a cup of coffee and call it good kinda girl 😉  but I end up starving and a little grumpy by 10:00 a.m. Now I’m searching the Internet for a few breakfast recipes to make ahead and stick in the freezer. Then I have no excuse not to stop for breakfast.

I love to make Banana Muffins, and even my hubby likes these. They freeze very well, and I like to double the batch and make 3 mini loaves of Banana Bread (you just have to add about 10-15 minutes extra baking time). I’m also going to check out this recipe for Oatmeal Muffins, they sound pretty tasty to me. The Oatmeal Muffin recipe calls for Skim Milk, but I am going to use 2% I always have that on hand.

I’m getting pretty good at making Baking Powder Biscuits (I use the Betty Crocker recipe), I read in the cook book that you can add cooked bulk sausage into the biscuit dough to bake quick and easy breakfast sandwiches. I just might have to try this one out too, I wonder if they freeze well?

What grab and go breakfasts do you like to make? Do you have any family favorites? Feel free to share any tasty recipes that you have 🙂

New Hair-Cut

Here is my little mop-top before his hair-cut today. The first picture is him telling me that he really doesn’t want his hair-cut

And here is the after, so much better 😉 Thade wasn’t too happy about getting a hair-cut, but after I was finally finished he really liked his new hair. He also said that it was time for him to cut my hair, because my hair was fluffy. I don’t think I quite trust Thade with the clippers 😉

Hair-Cut Day

Today is a day that Thade has not been too excited about, it is time to give him a hair-cut. He is definitely due for one, and he had pictures on Friday, so I want him to look his best. After his first hair-cut at an actual salon went not so well, I went out and invested in an at home hair-cutting system. The clippers have paid off ten fold, and Thade isn’t quite as scared, so it makes for a much quieter hair-cut too.

I hope it goes well, and I hope the little guy isn’t too grumpy with me 😉

Off to the Parade

I somehow managed to get everything that was on my to do list done today! Yahoo Nico 🙂 Tonight we are off to the Christmas parade, and a quick weather check has the temp at 50 degrees (but it feels like 46). I had better bundle up the boys and get ready to go 😉

What to do this week

This week has quickly gone from what to do, to what all I have to do… This is going to be one busy week:

  • Today: Grocery Shop, Go to the Post Office, Christmas Parade at 6:00 p.m. (I hope it is not too cold, it is going to get down to 24 tonight)
  • Wednesday: Get the oil changed in Hubby’s Car, and Give Thade a Hair-cut
  • Thursday: Bake 5 dozen cookies for Hubby’s Work for Friday
  • Friday: Christmas Pictures of the boys at 3:00 p.m. (out of town, and the Grandmas will finally be happy)
  • Saturday:Final day on this week’s Walgreens penny sale
  • Sunday: Local (but out of town for me) Dollar Tree 10% off $10.00 sale- I’m going to try and make this one, if the weather cooperates

I’m still decorating the house, yesterday I started on the outside, but I quickly ran out of garland. I’ll pick up some more at the store today, and hopefully get the outdoors finished during the warmest part of the day. I’m just about finished inside, and I got the boy’s tree up last night, and it looks great. Thade was a little disappointed though, he thought his tree would be much bigger, no complaints from Dylan 😉
