The kids are both in pre-school this morning, and I have just a few minutes left of free time before I have to go pick Sophie up. I should have been in a parenting meeting this morning, but I had an errand to run and decided to take it as an omen that I needed the morning off.
So I spent my free time taking pictures for the blog, and hopefully I have enough material set up to keep some entries coming over the next few days. I’m going to split it all up instead of dumping all on you in one go so we’ll all have something to look forward to.
Today’s topic: the goings on at home…
And at pre-school. Sophie and I were getting our coats on after her pre-school class on Monday, and she climbed right into the locker. Instant photo-op, and luckily I had the camera at hand.
How cute is that?
Here’s dinner from the other night. It’s weird. Julie asked me to make chicken pot pie, and then she followed through and actually ate it without complaining. How refreshing.
It was yummy. So much better than the crappy Swanson’s frozen ones I used to love as a kid. I didn’t even know that one could make something like this at home back then. Now it is one of my favorite comfort-food meals. I’m still thinking about making my own cookbook with all my favorite recipes and pictures of the food, and that’s why I took this picture. If I ever get around to organizing it, it would make a decent gift for friends and family.
Julie and Sophie saw me with the camera and asked me to take their pictures too…
And after the kids went to bed, I indulged in a little of this…
It’s crazy fancy-ass Greek ice cream that comes in flavours like Chocolate Fig, Honey Pomegranate, and Baklava. All of them delicious.
A knitting entry set up for tomorrow.
can you share the recipe for the chicken pot pie? I would love to be able to make it at home, but the only recipe that I’ve encountered called for canned veggies, which gross me out.
Yes i would like that too – i don’t think we have that over here…
Your girls suddenly looking more grown up Shelley!! They are so lovely
Oh, I love to make chicken pot pie too and you can do it so many different ways! Its awesome!
The honey pomegranate sounds very tasty!!
Mmm I love Chicken Pot pie. Maybe that’s what I will have for dinner tonight.
the hell with the pot pie! Girl WHERE do you buy that ice cream?????
I was thinking yesterday that it’s not much of a leap from the stuff inside chicken pot pie to cream-based soups…
May I request the pot pie recipe too? You made my mouth water with the pictures!
