I Made Dinner

It has been a very very long time since I've had to make a real dinner. Most meals around here consist of something like macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, or rice and beans. Lets face it, I'm not going to battle with my little ones to get them to eat real food. But tonight, since we had some friends over, I made a real meal.

I found a quiche recipe online that I followed loosely and it turned out phenomenally! I was a little scared since I've never made quiche before so I wasn't completely sure if I was doing it right. It turned out SO well that I'm going to try doing it again, take some pics, and share it with all of you.

Over the weekend Jacquie and I spent a rather large amount of time at Jo-Anns. We've crafted a whole bunch of stuff in these past couple of days. I made a Dora dress for V and started making matching pillow case dress for both girls. Florida Gators of course! I've spent the better part of tonight trying to make a fabric scrap wreath for Halloween. It's a bit more difficult than I was expecting.

Tomorrow I'll be revealing my blog angel, so stay tuned!

On another note, Sgt Robert Larson has been found near his home town of North Branch, NM. He is currently on his way back to Fort Jackson, SC with father and cousin.

I Finally Met My Neighbor

We've been living in our house for close to two years. Our next door neighbors have been there about a year and a half. Yesterday was the first time that I've ever had an actual conversation with either of them. Yes. The first time I've ever spoken to my next door neighbor. You see, I'm not exactly the most outgoing person and according to her, neither is she.

What happened is that my monster of a dog climbed over the fence when he heard her mowing her lawn. I've seen him literally climb chain link fences, but we have a six foot wooden fence. I guess that's what happens when you combine an energetic lab with the muscle of a pitbull. She came to let me know that he had escaped, but was confused as to how he got out since the gate was locked shut. Crazy doggy!

My baby eater

We ended up chatting a bit. Her husband is also deployed, which I could tell by the fact that she has recently started mowing the lawn and taking out the trash herself. She has boys that are about the same age as our girls so hopefully we'll be getting together for play dates. I'd like to invite them over for dinner some time, but I hate cooking and I never know what to make anyway.

I'm hoping that the next time we PCS something will push me to go meet the neighbors within a couple of months at least.

Side note: I hate potty training!
