Impromptu Layout Change
My site was temporarily shut down due to it being potentially hacked a few days ago. Of course, I wouldn’t notice till today, heh. But this prompted me to find a new theme, since the one I was using was old. There’s still a few things I need to work out (heck, I’m surprised I still know how to do some of these things!), but it’ll get there.
Right now I’m sitting on the back porch with my love, talking about everything: the kids, the yard and how it needs trimming, our early grocery shopping trip in the morning, and taking the kids to the pumpkin patch for their 2nd annual photo :).
I was up early, grocery shopped for a few breakfast things and got home and served all the kids. Briana had dropped Nick and Mia off since she worked today. I made sure the kiddos all had something to do and made myself breakfast:
I found the recipe on Pinterest, but instead of using bagels, I used English muffins. And some cream cheese, fresh tomatoes and salt and pepper. And some Hazelnut coffee, of course.
I tidied up, paid bills, then Emily and I picked up Jorge from work while Mom bravely stayed with the other 7 kids, heh. Jorge actually got to take half a day off!
We went to the bank, got home and I started making pigs in a blanket for the kids. I swear, it feels like I’m in the kitchen all day during the weekend, heh. I also made some spiffy ones for the adults 🙂
I used:
reduced-fat crescent rolls
cream cheese (I prefer regular)
chili garlic sauce
chives
Oscar Mayer bacon pieces
I baked according to the roll instructions. Those Oscar Mayer bacon pieces ARE MY LIFE. I buy the baggies and keep them on hand for recipes every time I buy groceries.
The kids played, Briana got here and we chit-chatted while we ate lunch. The rest of the day was a lazy day. My love took a nap and I paid bills online while keeping the kiddos at bay. There were minimal arguments about turns on the Xbox and the girls have been really pleasant, just being girls and playing teacher while carrying around purses full of books and wearing tons of bracelets :).
We went to pay a bill, with my little clone, Emily. We got home and I started feeling really tired. Jorge said, “I don’t want you falling asleep at 9am on a Saturday. Take a nap with Emily.” I thought it was going to be an epic fail, but I humored him and snuggled up with Emily.
He woke us up 2 1/2 hours later! I haven’t napped in a LONG time! I felt refreshed and ready to start on dinner, which was broccoli soup, pork chops and rice :). The kids loved it and so did my love, so I’m glad. Especially since it was something I threw together on a whim since I hadn’t done proper grocery shopping :P.
Eenan is currently intrigued by The Walking Dead and shared parts of the game with us throughout the night. He was comparing between the game and the show and comic. Emily and Alaethia played on the porch while we relaxed and the rest of the boys were watching TV. It’s been a great day. We have a lot to do tomorrow, and hopefully I can figure out the rest of this theme. I’m so glad it’s the weekend! Lord knows it was a long week!
