Rolling! Crockpot Wed! My Secret!

Konnor is on a Roll!!
Last Thurs evening he decided to start rolling back to front and hasn't slowed down since. He rolls here there and everywhere. Debbie said when she checked on him during nap time yesterday, he had rolled over to his tummy to get nice and comfortable. I'm hoping we'll be able to ditch the swaddle soon since we've still been doing that at night to get a longer stretch out of him.





Also late last week, his necklace from joyzjewels arrived! All of the kids have 2 necklaces with their names. These particular ones have bigger beads and are especially good for playtime.




For the crockpot today, I wanted to utilize some of our squash and zucchini. We're so blessed to have generous family and friends that have shared their produce with us since we didn't have a garden this year.

Here's what a threw in....

1 large cubed zucchini
1 large cubed yellow squash
1 chopped onion
some browned turkey/deer burger
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
california style garlic salt
season-all

I tossed it all together and set on low for 3.5 hrs and then turned it up to high for another hour since Kelton had swimming lessons tonight and I wanted it to be done to eat a little earlier than usual.


It produced a lot more liquid than I expected. The only liquid I added was from the can of diced tomatoes. Obviously next time I need to drain those. I served it with a slotted spoon, but I guess if you wanted to eat it like a stew you could serve with the juice.


I loved it! E and Moose weren't overly impressed and Katie wouldn't touch it. Shredded cheese would be a great addition!

And now for my little secret!! But first, seriously people? The text msgs asking if I'm pg? Do I really look like I'm completely crazy?

I just wanted to show off a few things.....
Like my microwave....spotless.

The coffee pot....sparkling.

The toaster oven...not a crumb in site.

The top of the dryer...organized and not a speck of lint.

And finally, my toothbrush holder....not a spot on it.

Yes, I'm that awesome.
No, not really.
We decided when I went back to work, we would have a cleaning lady come once a month and give the place an overhaul. Needless to say, they are AMAZING and worth every penny!! At first, I thought maybe I needed to keep it a secret, lest I paint myself as a giant lazy oaf. However, I have 3 kids (4 if you count the hubs) and I work 2-3 days a week.....I deserve this! We could not be more thrilled with the job they did! Even E in all his skepticism, was smiling ear to ear!

I think the day they come is probably going to be my favorite day of the month from now on!
