Meeting Dora / Wrestling meet

I am downloading pictures right now be back in a few ;)

OK got them downloaded after a few minutes trying!!!  WHew  We just got home about 10:45 tonight.  It was a LONG night!  Stefan won both his matches...one with a pin so he played well!  I was so proud of him.  And grandma was funny...she told anyone who would listen..."hey, that's my grandson" lol  She was proud of him.  Nick was with us because we went there right after seeing Dora.  Nick was pretty good considering he's THREE!  YA  Not to bad really but he had his moments.  A man sitting next to me made him a paper airplane and that occupied him for an hour or so.  I took him out the the hallway to play in between matches.  My pictures are terrible but I"m going to share them anyhow.  I got one good one of Dora...they really rush you through the line.  The line was LONG...it took us over an hour just standing in line!  My sister came in with her two grandkids and I wonder how she did with them waiting that long.  I would have stayed but I had to get going to watch Stefan.

 Here are the pics: And we wait...and wait...and wait....

 

We find something to do while standing in line...this helps!  I bet they made a lot of money on this toy today!!



Trying to get our first peek at Dora...no luck



Finally we get a good shot :) 



Nick by Dora...he was not all that thrilled and a little scared.



We finally make it to the high school of our apponent!  Nick looks at me and then....




POOF....GONE.....And he's off! All i have to say about that is...he's staying home with dad on Sat lol  



And Stefan starts, he's in Yellow.





He's heading back to his team after shaking the other teams coaches hand....Does that sound right? lol  He got a pin! My camera sucked in here and so its the only pictures I got for todays meet. :( 



We were happy for Stefan...they have SO many kids on their team so 1/2 of the team did not get to wrestle!  Our school is huge compared to many other schools around us so unfortunately a lot of the kids have to hang out and only watch

My Packers lost so that makes me sad!  Well, it's off to bed and will talk tomorrow. 

Baby it's cold outside!

WOW I'm not sure if my thermometer reads 7 OR -7 either way IT'S COLD!  I went out to clean the crap we collected from yesterdays trip out of the truck because Nick and I have to go see Dora today at the Mall and I wanted the truck the be clean.  I can't even tell you how excited he is today!  He is asking me every 1/2 hour..."MOMMY is it time yet!"  Next week he gets to go see Diego at the pizza place too.  I think he things that Diego is going to be there today with Dora...I have been trying to tell him that he has to wait to see Diego but not sure if that's sinking in or not lol. 
Well I finally got around to writing the lady we got Max from 6 months ago!  I also got pictures developed to send her.  Can you believe the lady does not have a computer!  SO I can't send email and pics through there :(  It took me forever but I finally just sat down last night and did it.  I also had a gift to send out which I got that ready and finally going to get that out too!  My friends baby (I say baby cuz she is only 18 and I have a daughter who's 18 and she is still MY baby) had a baby lol so I wanted to send her something. 
Well people, tonight is my son's first wrestling meet of the season so I will be off and running tonight to watch him wrestle.  They have so many kids this year on the team!  It should be fun.  Although I'm going to freeze my butt of walking to the school!~  Parking is SO far away from the school were going to. 
Well I suppose that's all for now.   Talk to you all later...I will have pictures to post tomorrow most likely. 

50 question meme

I got this meme from chrissy and thought it looked fun.  So here goes:

1. If your doctor told you TODAY that you were pregnant, what would you say?
I would say holy crap, that is weird cuz I'm on TOM this week ;) Seriously I would say that!

2. Do you trust all of your friends?
I truly don't have many friends but the ones I do have YES I do trust them totally.

3. Would you move to another state or country to be with the one you love?
Umm not until my son was done with school (IF my hubby wanted to move which I know he wouldn't until after my son was done with school, I would tell him no not until Stefan was out of school) lol  Because my son is deaf and he needs to be in this school (he's a great wrestler at his school and everyone likes him and he is an honor student)  that is why we moved here to begin with. 

4. Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
Not really, I think everything happens because it happens and our/their actions made it happen that way. 

5. Can you make a dollar in change right now?
Yes

6. Which one of your friends do you think would make the best doctor?
Oh... this is a hard one...I think I'm going to have to go with Shelley since she is the only one I even know who is going into nursing right now. And she loves it...people who love their jobs make them the best for that position.  My MIL would make a great doctor too because she was a great head nurse before she got sick. 

7. Are you afraid of falling in love?
If I were to ever get a divorce I would be afraid to ever fall in love again because of my kids.  He would have to be a pretty special guy and one who would have to be able to love MY children as if they were his own.

Of course...we all know that there is always someone going to be popping into our minds from time to time.  This is totally normal.

14. Fill in the blank. I love:
MY LIFE, MY FAMILY, MY HOME

17. How many kids do you want to have?
I wanted 3-4 kids and wanted ONE girl for sure and then I didn't care.  I got my one girl and have two boys too :) If I have another it will be a blessing as well. 

18. Would you make a good parent?
I think I make a much better parent now that I am 39 yrs old!  I was not the parent I am today back when I was 19 yrs old with two babies. But I think I did ok ;)

Update on a new movie we just watched below...


Ok...well this week has been movie week for us and we have just NOT been doing anything but enjoying some movies and enjoying hubby's time off work.  I made another turkey last night late lol  WHY you ask??  lol  Well my daughters friends LOVED the food I sent home with my daughter and begged me to make their turkeys too.  I made LOTS of homemade gravy for them too.  They have eight turkeys total lol  UMMM not sure if I get to make all eight but I have one more for sure that they want me to make. 
Movies we have watched this week:

Reign over me... get the kleenex ready for this one.  Oh man...it was a tear jerker.  The movie starts out kind of slow but then it gets pretty interesting...it's over a 2 hour movie.

Rescue Dawn...this one was a true story about Dieter Dengler  He was an American pilot shot down over Laos and take to a prison camp. It was very good and very exciting.  This was another long movie but it was good.

Home of the brave...it was another war movie but it was SLOW and pretty uninteresting. It was one we did not like. It was about a few of the men and one women who fought in Iraq and how it affected their lives once they got home.

Live Free or Die Hard...this was a great movie to add to my die hard collection! 

Deck the Halls...this was cute but I expected the  other guy to decorate his house too lol I really thought it was going to be a fight as to who could decorate better.  It was good tho. And about true friendship

The Reef...this was pretty cute.  It was animated and kind of reminded me of Finding Nemo in a way.  It's a love story of two fish lol.  It was cute.

We are Marshall...WOW this was a great movie but Chrissy was right- get that Kleenex ready for this one!  Oh my it was a really goodmovie but man!  It was sad. 
 
 We are going to watch...
 
 Blade 3 and we have Are we done yet coming in the mail now...we go through blockbuster online and it's really working out wonderful for us becasue we get to return the mail movies for in store movies and the blockbuster store is close to my sons school so it works out great!  Our last movie night prob until Christmas time when hubby is off again for a few days.  Anyone have any great movies to recommend!? 

Another update...the kids brought me ANOTHER turkey to make lol  This is the third one we made in three days.  It's ok tho...it's nice I can help the kids out so they have something to eat besides fast food.  They took the other done and cut up turkey and gravy home with them today so they can start eating.  They said they think two more want me to make their turkeys for them.  The other couple will give theirs to their parents for the Christmas holiday.  None of them knew how to cook a turkey so I offered to cook it for them.  Doesn't take much effort really.

AND now..time for the fight! lol I found this over at Latte'Dah's  journal and thought it would be fun :)



Join in, copy picture, post and put your link here, visit all your friends!

It's been quiet and a rant!

It really has been quiet around Jland.  I think a lot of you are enjoying vacation!   We had the Inlaws and my daughter and her boyfriend over for dinner. It was a very nice visit with her and my husband even asked her boyfriend to go out for a walk with him.  My daughter freaked out and said "MOM, I'm so scared...if Pat doesn't come back were done!"  Meaning her and her dad are done! lol  She is so funny!  I'm sure that Cory gave him a talking to.  Alex will tell me later when Pat isn't' around I'm sure.  

Well, I do have some good news...remember when my daughter Alex (my straight A student) failed to do her work ALL or MOST of her senior year??  Well she was not able to graduate even tho she did stick out the entire year....well, now our school is starting something new where the kids that screwed up can have another chance!!!  She can do online classed for those classes she screwed up on and would be able to graduate!!  I was thrilled to hear this and so was she which I was happy about. She can even use those grades she gets to apply at colleges next year. This is just SO important for her to do because otherwise she will be working a crap job all her life! I don't want that for her.  I want more~! She has really changed a lot these past few months...she was never a BAD kid EVER but she just got mixed up with the wrong people.  Guys along with all their friends (druggies I called them) who thought they could use her for her car, for the little money she did make, and to have a very pretty girl on their arm! I mean what mother would not be scared!  I love my daughter to death but SHE (below) gave me most of my Grey hair today!!! 



 Oh, I can tell you this...there are times I wanted to...well, can't say here cuz It's NOT a nice thing!  lol  I'm SOOO happy she got rid of them and wised up!  Her new "crowd" she hangs with now are MUCH better.  I seriously was REALLY scared for her!  These guys were scary...even this guys mother who had to come and live here from Milwaukee with her sons friends because she was just as bad...was clinging to Alex.  This women was in her 40's!!  WHY in the world is she hanging with 18 yr old girls!?
Well I think I'm done ranting for today...don't know why i got into all that lol  I hope you all are doing well and if your traveling please be careful on those roads!!!

Portesi Pizza / Wrestling

Ok I have a question for all of you.  Has anyone ever tried Portesi's Pizza?  I was introduced to it by a friend of ours and it was the first time I had ever tried it. I really didn't think I would like it because I'm more of a tombstone girl lol anyway...I LOVED it and now I buy it all the time lol.  It's a little more expensive but it's worth it.  We usually now get one for the packer game.   The reason I thought of this is because they were on a big sale yesterday and I got a few.  If you have never tried this I would recommend it!  YUM. 
Today is the first reminder of why I HATE wrestling season! lol  Stefan had to be at school at 5:45am this morning for practice (which means earlier for us cuz we live 1/2 hour away from his school!) and I was going to take him but cory decided to get up and go to work early so he could come home early.  It just gets worse from here on out! lol  The days they don't have school they usually go in EARLY!  There is one day coming up here that they have to be there at 5AM   I mean seriously!!! If these kids are getting up THAT early they MUST be a dedicated wrestler! lol  Maybe that's what the coach is trying to find out?! 

LOOK WHAT WE FOUND!!!

Its CUBBY eating while Max wait patiently like he always does!



 We can't even explain how happy we are to have him back safe and sound.  Somehow he managed to make his WAY down our street about a mile or so...he's never went that far ever and I'm sure it was the gun shots that scared him.  The guy who found him said he was curled up in a corner outside his house just shivering.  He had never seen him before so he took him to the shelter.  I was calling around this morning not expecting to actually find him but when I asked them they said YUP hes here!  I had to ask if I heard them right because I just couldn't believe it!  SO MEG your feeling was right and let me tell you, when I read that...something inside me just thought maybe you were right!  AND you were! They asked if I wanted to come get him right away and of course I went straight over there.  He was laying in a rusted ol kennel just shivering in a corner and when he seen me...WOW!! What a happy boy he became. I just couldn't hold those tears back! lol  May sound silly to some but I just really missed him.  They said that usually they ask for a license for proof of who you are but in this case they didn't need to see one...our reaction to each other was enough proof for them.  He sure did make me feel loved! lol I never got so many kissed in one day! lol I wish I had a video camera to document that moment.
 Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and prayers you left while Cubby was MIA.  They sure did help!   Now that we got our little guy home safe and sound I can share some other pictures I had taken and never got a chance to post. 

These two are of Max relaxing on his best friend.  I just thought this was so cute!  Sorry the first one is kind of blurry.






And next we had a little snow storm the other day and it was just so beautiful and relaxing.  I just love the snow and especially love a NEW snowfall...it just makes everything look so clean and beautiful.

Update on Cubby

Still no luck finding Cubby...he did not make it home last night on his own which tells me one of two things..  either he is dead or someone stole him. Maybe some hunter saw him and thought his wife would love him. He is very scared of gun shots so I don't know if he ran off when we let him out to potty or what.  We talked to some hunters and they are keeping an eye out for him.  And I made a poster to hang in the gas station near us.  Now I won't be able to enjoy the packer game!  I have searched every where I can  this morning hoping I would find him someplace!  But no sign of him.  I keep thinking that I want to find him but I don't because I know if I find him there will be something wrong or he will not be alive.  I'm hoping that someone did  take him and he's ok. 

OH what a SAD afternoon!

Well I am just tremendously sad right now because I cannot find my Pomeranian (Cubby)  He has been missing since about noon or one pm this afternoon.  We have been looking for him for hours with no luck.  I started looking when it was still light outside and looked up until just a little while ago when we searched every where we could possibly search with our spot light.  I don't know if he's laying out there in pain someplace or if someone stole him.  I would rather someone stole him and would give him a good home rather then him being out in this cold 20 degree weather suffering. 

We still got our baby kitten which Nick keeps picking up by the neck!  GRRR

I am going back out to the garage to see if there is any sign of him...left him a blanket  and left the garage door which is attached to the house open so in case he makes his way home he can get in to someplace warm.  Wish me luck finding him please! I will let ya all know if we find him.

This is the very first picture I took of our little baby before my Nick was even born.  He was seven weeks old here!  It's he just the cutest thing ever? This was back in 2002



This is the last picture I took of our little cubby before he vanished.

My Morning Meeting at WW

Weigh in:  well it went good considering I ate Funyuns and pepsi last night! AFTER 10!  I didn't expect a loss but I got one.  2.2 lbs!  I'm taking it and feeling pretty good about it.  I can imagine how much I could have lost if I had done GOOD all week!  It was rough getting up so early because I stayed up late which I shouldn't have.  I was playing with the kitty after I put Nick down.  He is such a sweet little thing!  I hope I can find him a great home.  Well, so anyway...it back to adding points and Shell...I will start reporting my points to you tonight k.  I have been slacking totally and you know me...if you don't hear from me it's bad! 
Ok talk to you all later...I'm sure I will do another entry tonight.

Guess what I found!!!???

Did you try guessing???

Well after we got back from my sons meeting which was about 8pm So guess what...I missed Greys!  I forgot to mention yesterday that I also had to make a snack to bring and I made banana bread...it was a big hit. Well, anyway we pulled into the driveway and I got out and I was talking to Stefan telling him to grab his paperwork when this tiny TINY lil black and white animal came running up to me...it was dark...I thought it was a skunk!  NOPE it was the tiniest little kitten I have ever seen as a stray...must only be 5 weeks if that! Check out the picture below:





He doesn't LOOK skinny but trust me you could feel every rib in this little things body!  I could NOT leave him outside being it was 15 degrees out there! He was just shivering when I picked him up :(  I sure hope there were not others...I couldn't see a thing out there. I this one wouldn't have ran up to me like it did I wouldn't have seen it! My son has taken him over big time.  I was talking to the kitty asking him where is mommy was and Nick then asked him the same thing!  It was so cute!  He's going to be an animal lover like his mommy. 
Cory says we can't keep him :(  I understand since we have the three animals already we have a hard enough time keeping up with the vet bills the way it is. AND Nick is just not big enough to understand he cannot pick him up by the tail or head...etc.. So I will bring him to a non kill shelter as soon as I can get into town.  He does use the litter box so that's a good thing.  We put him in a small kennel last night and he did ok.  My big cat laid next to him actually, it was cute.  He sure is a cuddler Anyone want a cat?? lol

My BAD lil boy!!!

I didn't get a chance to get on here yesterday because I was on the run again with my MIL.  We went out for lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend.  Before that I was trying to catch up on alerts and then I cleaned and did a load of laundry.  We had to stop at the grocery store on our way home...it was 3:30 by that time and ALREADY showing signs of darkness!  Man I hate that!  Anyway, grandma took Nick potty while I ran and got protein bars for my son for after school and before wrestling.  Well, she came to meet me and as she was getting close Nick decided he was going to take off running!  Grandma gave him a Dora doll that she was going to buy him.  I told him to come back by me but he just laughed and ran farther!  GRRR THIS got me a little upset!  Everyone was looking at me of course and grandma and I were trying to block him off...thank goodness there was two of us.  We finally got him cornered and the Dora doll went back on the shelves (he seemed to know this was going to happen) he didn't really throw that big of fit about it...and out to the car he went.  THAT bothered him! lol I was very proud of my MIL for sticking to her guns and not allowing him to have the dora doll and bringing him out to the car right away.  I think she sees that he's getting to be a spoiled little boy and I DON'T want that!  He got two spankings after we got home too. After we got home I decided to take him downstairs where we have a glass table and play playdough with him.  He was SO good that whole time and we had fun.   It just seems that once he hit the age THREE (just a few days ago!) it was WOW BAD!  I got him dinner a bath and off to bed he went.  We had chili cheese chicken for dinner!  YUM my fav!  I know I got that recipe off of one of the journals I read but can't remember what one!  SORRY!
 OK have some pics to share and then will get into today.
First ones are of my son showing off some muscle:
He's been working hard in the weight room this past month trying to rebuild the muscle he has let slip away from not working out much over the summer.






This my son took on one of our frosted mornings we had. 




WHATS ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY?:  FOR THOSE BELOW NOT SO MUCH!!! (PS>>this pic of cubby and Nick is RARE!!!  Cubby hates nick!)    FOR ME....See below the pics





 Today I am going to have another long day...I have to get dishes done, cleaning done, laundry going, that will most likely take me up to dinner time (we are having Harvest stuffed pork chops).  ...I have to make dinner  and then I have to be out of the house by 5:30 tonight to make it to my son's parent teacher wrestling conference.  That takes an hour...maybe more...and then we will be heading home where I will need to finish up my son's ACT app  (man this thing is longer then I remember) we have to get it sent in by the end of the week.  I have been working on it for a few days now lol.  SLOWLY!  THEN I would LOVE to be able to watch Greys and then hit the sack!  Thanks goodness there is only one show to watch tonight for us! lol
Whew that's about it for me.  Hope you all are having a good day out there!

Play the Game

The Game is on!!! And you're IT!

Describe ME in one word.....just one single word. (and it can't rhyme with "itch") Post it in my comment section. Then put the same request in your journal so we can visit you… and do the same thing… and see how many strange and interesting things they say about you. If you don't have a journal you can list your email address in comments (if you'd like). Or do it via email with your own friends.

Long day ahead of me

Today is going to be a LONG day. I have to leave soon and I will be running errands for most of the day.  The last thing to do on my list is go to Dinner Helpers at 7pm.  We want to try a few more of the meals.  Last night we had cod and it was VERY good!  Not to mention very good for you!  Nick even ate some of it. 

Wrestling season has also started for my son so he has practice every  night till 6pm.  It makes for a really long day for him as well.  He had a bad headache last night when he got home...he's just not used to practice yet.  The coach tells me that wrestling practice is very hard compared to any other sport there is out there in high school (he is also the football coach).  He works the kids hard and it shows.   The kids went to state last year and came in second for wrestling!  Starting the end of this month...I think nov 29...they start their meets and so I will be one busy mommy running around watching him wrestle.  They can go as far as an hour & 1/2 away for their meets. I like the home ones! 
Also on my list today is to bring Nick to dad's work and have him pass out his brothers cookie sheet.  He's selling cookies to get his wrestling uniform for free.  I'm sure that with Nick having that in tow there will be lots of bites and lots of sales!  At least I'm hoping!   lol  There is no way Stefan can do it because everyone is gone by 6pm and no one works weekends.  So I told him I would have Nick ask everyone.  It's not a bad price at 13 bucks for 48 cookies.  You bake what you want at home and they last for one year in your freezer.  Anyone interested??  lol  I do take mail orders for an extra 2.00  and I can ship directly to you.  Just FYI. 
Anyway...I better get to my cleaning because I have to leave very soon here.  Hope everyone is well!  Talk to ya all later.

WW Meat Loaf

We had the WW Meat loaf and it was REALLY good!  So I recommend this to anyone because it's really easy to make and it's low points as well.   This loaf serves 6 and it's 4 points per serving.  Not bad for the taste.  I'm adding some pictures of it.  And the recipe will follow if anyone is interested.   The plate is a small plate so it looks like I get more food! lol  It works for me.  Nick wanted me to take a pic of him too.  As you can see he's a potato fan.  Although when I finally got him to try the meat loaf he loved it!  And that is pretty good for him since he hardly ever wants to eat meat. 






The extra photos were taken for fun earlier in the week.




My son doing his chores...notice the rubber gloves!  lol He's paranoid about dirty things!  He's going to kill me for posting this but I had to!  



RECIPE:

This is very fast and easy to throw together and its kid friendly :) I will add a photo later

Preparation Mix all ingredients together in large bowl and put it all in a bread pan Bake at 350 for and hour and 1/2. Serves 6 and is 4 points for each serving. ENJOY

 

I forgot to answer a question

OK a while back I remembered that someone had asked me if I were going to share the Rasp chicken recipe.  Well I can't yet because it's a dish from Dinner Helpers and we were just given some by my MIL and we liked it so I'm going to make it this Tuesday.  I will try writing it down and share it later. 

Next on the list is WW...well I went to weigh in yesterday and I had missed the month before that so I ended up gaining most of the weight I lost back!  UGH!!  SO it's starting over time again!

Other then that...not much going on.  They had a small fire at my hubby's school he works at but nothing bad.  Mostly flooding caused by the pumps reversing and pumping water out instead of IN the pools! gotta go...were eating WW meat loaf. I will let you know how that tastes! 

Meme "Fours"

A NickAndMax Movie for ya

This was really cute...I thought I would share it.


 

These two have been destroying my house all morning today!  But boy are they entertaining themselves.  Max has been a wonderful addition to our family and we are so proud of him lately because he's been wonderful with Nick AND he is now fully house trained too =0)))  His only downfall is that he likes to bite on our sweatshirt sleeves!  Why??  He tugs and pulls on them. The funny thing is he REALLY hates his nails clipped!  I clip them every other week and he cries like a baby!  My pom is fine with it and just lays there and lets me do it.  Not him! lol  He has to make a bit deal out of it. 

Today we have a doctor apt for Nick. It's his three year check.  He's a whole THREE now!~  I hope he does ok with that.  He usually does fine at the doctors office.  He has his bath late last night so that is taken care of. 

Stefan has an apt tomorrow for his sports physical.  I had it set for 2:45 but he called me and said NO I have visitors coming at 2 (other deaf kids) and the ironman contest after school in the weight room so that won't work! Ok, so I call the doctor and luckily she got me in at 11am.  Lots of running the next few days.  Wrestling practice starts on the 12th and then at the end of the month starts the matches!  THEN I will be one busy mommmy!  I'm going to TRY bringing Nick with me to the meets but not sure how he will do yet.  I don't want to spend my time running after him...I want to watch Stefan wrestle! lol  So he may have to stay home with dad again this year. Thanks goodness dad doesn't mind missing the meets!  I usually record them so he can watch them at home.  He came with me most of the time before we had Nick but now he doesn't mind keeping him at home so I can go :) On Saturdays (all day meets) dad usually comes with us so then we just both watch him and take turns running after him. lol

Cute

Ok I was checking on this site called I can haz cheezeburger which I was told about from a friend of mine and I have to share a picture.  I will try and share some on each entry.  They are just to cute not to share lol 




moarfunny pictures

Check out more if you have time.  They are SO cute and gaurenteed to make you smile.

Today I am spending the day cleaning.  Nick is napping right now and so I thought I would jump on here quick and say hello.  After he wakes up I have to run and get Stefan and school and then it's back home to clean.  Dinner will be raspberry chicken tonight.  The day is going really good except it's very windy and very cold outside today! 

Guess what?!

Hubby is gone today and tomorrow so you know what that means?!  I get to watch FOOTBALL all day if I want!  Packers WON so that makes me very  happy.  And I am now watching the Patriots game.  I hope the colts win because it's my MIL's sisters team :)  Plus I don't want them to be ahead of the packers! lol  Selfish reasons on my part.   I made another Dinner helpers meal and it's REALLY good again.  I made the Beef garlicy stir fry.  YUM!  We made the Breakfast Lasagna yesterday morning and I tried it today and that was YUM too!  So far it's three out of three that we like.  And I rate them all at a 5 so far. 

I'm going to try to take some pics of our meals tonight.  We STILL have left over Breakfast Lasagna  so that means we got a good three meals out of that one!  It's filling and there was a lot of it.  I tried calling my niece today to see if she wanted a slice for her better half but she didn't answer her phone!  Oh well, her loss right! lol  Well, I'm going to get back to the Patriot game for now. 

Dinner Helper Pictures

Ok My Mil and I went to Dinner Helpers today and we were in and out in just a tad bit over and hour.  It was a really fun and fast way to make six dinners!  All but two are now in my freezer ready to be taken out when we need them.  AND we got to leave all the dishes there for THEM to wash :)  They were clean and ready to go when we got there.  Here are some pics of what we brought home:  If you want a link to this place I have a link in my last entry.  They have a few locations but not many yet.  This is rather new but I'm sure it will be all over the country soon enough.

This first one is of the Breakfast lasagna I made...Yes, they do have a few breakfast entrees too.  There is shredded cheese, onions, eggs, gr pepper, red pepper (FRESH) Canadian bacon, and mushrooms and spices...you can add what you want or omit items you don't want.  YOU put it together so you get to choose!  I added everything.  More for your money! lol
Oh and they give you all the containers you need all you need to bring is a laundry basket to tote your items home.





The other entree's I choose were Garlicky Beef Stir-Fry, Sweet Maple Pork Ribs, Cashew Bless you chicken, Baked Cod, and Beef Stew.







Below is and example of how you put them together.  All the things are separate (what needs to be anyhow) and then you add all the baggies together in one big baggie and slap a label on the gal size bag and stick in in the cooler and go on to your next spot.  Each little kitchen is set up for that particular meal so everything is right there for you to grab and  you do not even have to move one step!  And everything is fresh and never frozen at this point.





And here is a cute pic I took the other day of Max helping himself to MY pillow! 

A Dinner Helper

Well, it's November already and time to "Fall Back" again!  Now it's time for hubby to go in when it's dark and come home when it's dark!  He hates that!  His office doesn't have a window so the only time he sees the light of day is if he goes out for lunch and usually  he brings his own. Well, today my MIL and I are trying this new Dinner Helpers thingy I added a link on Dinner helpers so you can check it out.  It sounds really good so we have an apt at noon to go make our dinners and all we have to do is make um and bring them home.  They do all the chopping and preparation and clean up.  NICE!  And the price is really good considering that.  I'm going to take some pics on my phone when i'm there  and I will post some of our dinners so you can check them out.  Nick is being MUCH better now that I have added naps back into his routine.  I love that!  Alex is watching him today for us because there are no kids under 10 allowed there which I really like!  I don't want my kid OR anyone else's kids running around while I try to cook!lol  Well, that's about all thats going on today :)  I will add pics when I get home
