8/9/10

8/9/10 marks the day that our little man turns 5 weeks old! Wow time has gone by quickly. He is such a skinny little peanut but is eating 6oz every 3-4 hours! He is very long! Blue eyed, brown haired boy!!

Today we did dishes.. Not my favorite thing there is but it has to be done! I also gave the babies a bath.. Lillian got hers because she had a banana and cheerios for breakfast and made a HUGE mess and Nathan got his because he pooped all over everything!!! His clothes, his bouncy seat, his leg, feet, my pants, etc!! It was everywhere! Oh well!!

To top of the double bath duty right away this morning, both babies were very crabby! And the older girls couldn't help but argue as I wouldn't let them outside! I know I'm 'mama mean-a' as Nan says, but it was a scorching 100+ degrees for our heat index! We even got to our high temp record! Sorry I wasn't going to risk illness from the heat with the kids! It's not worth it! Tomorrow isn't supposed to be any better so we will bust out the crayons and coloring books or barbies or cabbage patch dolls!

We got Kaylee's school supply list and her teachers name on Sunday.. Well Saturday but we were too busy to go get the mail. Anyways her teacher is Mrs Winkler. And it just so happens that a family friend is in her class this year! That will be interesting! My guesses are.. That they'll be little stinkers and talk all of the time, or they will get so sick of seeing eachother that they will get into a dispute. My prayers are for smooth sailing! :)

Natalie was quite the stink pot today.. Even when we went to visit Joe's grandma and Aunt! She was oh so tired though! She even fell asleep on the way home! She tries so hard to find just where she fits in! She isn't sure if she wants to be a big girl like Kaylee or if she wants to be a baby like Lily and Nathan. I'm hoping that I can get a late registration done and enroll her into preschool now that she potty trained this summer!!! She needs to be with kids her age and she need a structured schedule. We will see what we can do to help her! :) She is a very good helper and loves to be given things to do so just knowing that is a huge help!

Lily is such a doll!! Granny has a statue of the virgin Mary in her little dinning areas that stands about 6 inches taller than Lily. Anyways Lily would stand in front of this statue and talk to her! Just gibberish but she had a story! She would also give Mary kisses! It was too cute!! I wish I would have had my camera with me!

I believe I'm off to bed now! :) I'm very sleepy!! And I have already got the older three sleeping and Joe's lunch made and packed away! Sweet dreams!

Marry Me Meatballs

 I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is.  Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped  1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder  Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach  Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

 Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal!  Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients  1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice  1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded  1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms  Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Oh man! This side dish is absolutely one we will be keeping around! It’d be really good on the smoker too! I do feel like it’s missing some seasonings so the next go around we will play with adding in some smoked paprika and garlic too!  Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes Ingredients   8 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced 2 medium onion, sliced into rings salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups milk 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese   Directions   Gather all ingredients.

Gradually whisk in flour and salt and cook, whisking constantly until raw flour flavor has cooked off, abo...
