i haven't hardly blogged at all...a combination of not feeling good and having the inside of my house painted. anyway, on to weeks 4 & 5.
linking up at the mom creative.
what my kitchen window looks like right now
(yes, those are pumpkins. yes, i realize it is february.)
(yes, those are pumpkins. yes, i realize it is february.)
painting was supposed to start today, but chris is sick. rescheduled for next monday. parts of the house will be painted one of those colors. (more pictures to come.)
smashed potato soup--super easy and so yummy!
what i do in the carpool line on wednesdays--read the bible and study for meeting.
what i'm reading right now.
(update: didn't care for rasputin's daughter, the romonov bride is ok--a little boring. my favorite was the first one--the kitchen boy. if you haven't read that i definitely recommend it!)
chicken tortellini soup--this was so good!
mck has taken over the guest room and this is what it looks like most of the time. chris and i lament the fact daily that we have a slob for a daughter. (sorry, sweetie--you know it's true.)
the temperature has been so mild, warm in fact, that i've been wearing things i bought for spring.
painting began (and finished) today!
you can see one painter in the dining room just touching up (it stayed the same color) and the boring white laundry room is now arctic blue--i love it!
chris was out of town, so mck and i got take out for dinner and cupcakes for dessert. mine on the left was vanilla bean and mck chose strawberry. delicious.
i decided to do this february photo challenge and it started today.
i'm not doing it in order, i'm just picking one each day.

#29 on the list...something you're listening to...
i've been keeping my pandora channel on michael buble. there's a lot of frank sinatra, tony bennett and harry connick jr. on the same channel--love it all.
#2...words...
a sweet letter that chris wrote me and stuck on my bathroom vanity for me to find
#27...something you ate...
my dinner at la duni the other night. it's called rice salad. had crispy pork, plantains, and the most wonderful light dressing.
#16...something new...
chris had a talk at another congregation, but they recently switched from a sunday to saturday meeting time--definitely something new for us.
that's the condensed version of the last 2 weeks!
Hi! I can't wait to see the rest of your laundry room! Hope Chris is feeling better. Fred has been sick the last two days. Love your spring sweater. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the carpool picture!! And that chicken tortellini soup looks amazing! The weather around here has been wonderful too and I've been wearing short sleeves! Have a great week :)
ReplyDeletei looked up the kitchen boy at our library and we don't even have it!! i like your carpool picture too...what a good way to spend time waiting. can't wait to see your painted house in person :)

ReplyDeleteAlso, love the kitchen window.
the kitchen boy... i will have to write that on my list! i love a good book rec. thanks!
ReplyDeletethe photo challenge is fun huh? i'm doing it but playing by my own rules too. ;)
so glad you left me that comment tonight about your food request post! i have actually been on this major no processed food eating kick, and have been taking pics of what i've been making! i was going to include some of it in my last post but i didn't because i thought maybe no one cares what we eat and they will think this is so boring. ha. so, just for you susanne, look for that post one day next week!! :)
have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing your pictures, you had a busy week for sure! Your food pictures look delicious! I also read my Bible while waiting in the school pickup line.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
