Catch up

So it's been quiet around here. Everyone has regained health and we are back on our normal schedules of school, work, and bathroom cleaning. This is what has been going on the last week and a half. We celebrated Fat Tuesday. I was able to find a decent baguette at Whole Foods. Who knew? Shlee liked it.
I made this awesome red beans and rice. Of course, we drank hurricanes and wore beads.

We also endulged in the Polish tradition and ate Paczkis filled with raspberry filling. We each ate one. I can't speak for them, but my belly hurt.
This is actually what Evie ate for breakfast. Mom of the year. I made sure to pack her an extra healthy lunch to make up for it.
There has also been a lot of cuddling going on. Aren't they cute?

I went away last weekend to meet my friend Jen in Springfield,IL. We learned all about our 16th president and toured his home. We also attended the town's St Patrick's Day parade and drank beers with bagpipe players and did lots of shopping. It was a great time. My kiddos must have missed me though, because we needed to all lay on the couch together.
And the weather started to turn and we started thinking about the garden. Annalise has been after me to start the seeds for the garden. I finally caved in and she planted her zinnia seeds and my tomato plants. It's probably a little early, but she loves to check on her plants.

My little gardener.

And we celebrated with another theme meal. Guinness stew and Irish soda bread. We took a break from the first day of games to eat and then it was back to the TV.
