Thursday 13: Letter D 2008

time for soup and sandwiches

on winter nights when it seems like we are bouncing from school to ballet to tae kwon do and every where in between, i love to make soup.

on tonight's menu: roasted butternut squash and shallot soup. it is a simple three step process: roast, blend, simmer. this soup is so good! better than that, i can do everything but warm it up earlier in the day.

then we finally get home, warm it up, make some grilled cheese and dinner is served.

as i write this at 7:43 pm, both kids are already fast asleep. daylight savings time has taken its toll on the kids.
as

well

as me!

this morning when the kids came in between 5-5:30, i was seriously wishing they had a snooze button on them. i can honestly say i would totally be the first one to bop them on the head for nine more minutes of sleep!

thankfully they didn't have school today. something called FDEA on the school calendar. i don't know what FDEA is, but I am ever so grateful for it.

Husband did have to get up to go to work, so he fed them breakfast. thank you Husband! whew hoo....got to sleep in just a bit anyway.

happy monday, y'all
