Bowling and Ice-skating
Anthony took me ice skating at Millenium Park. I am a horrible skater, but it is one of the most fun activities! He is actually quite a natural at it. That and dancing, you'd never guess.

There was a group of junior-high aged girls in a very tight knit circle. Anthony was the first to notice their lack of courage in branching out independently though they eventually did start skating two by two. We laughed about the fact that you'd never see a group of boys like that. Actually, that you'd never see a group of boys that age going ice skating.


An Amazing Idea - Edible flowers...chocolate at that. My wonderful husband picked these up along with a card and pretty necklace. How I ended up with this man, I still marvel at the thought.
We went bowling with our friends/neighbors for Sabrina's birthday. She beat us all both games. :)
It was the first time both ConLai and Matthias had been bowling. He found far more enjoyment in the actual bowling. She found far more enjoyment in the music and people.

Do you see what she's teaching her little sis?

When I picked Matthias up, he started boppin to the salsa music. I do watch him Tuesdays/Thursdays and no, salsa lessons are not in the agenda.


A Real Man
ONLY REAL MEN WORKERS ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT
HARDWORKING MAN GO THIS WAY
THE MAN WHO PROVIDES KEEP GOING
UR LADIES ARE AWAITIN JUST A FEW MORE STEPS
FOR THEIR HERO

Daddy has been working very hard in very cold weather. So we secretly ordered a new pair of INSULATED boots for him. This is how he came home the day they came in the mail.

Super bowl!
We had a really good time with friends from church watching the super bowl. I love those people. The boys had to fix the projector and Anthony was quick to volunteer to climb the humongous ladder. There are no pictures of ConLai b/c she spent the entire time running with her little buddies and up in the nursery watching their own version of the super bowl.




Our Dear Nana - Happy Birthday!

Surprising Cleanup
Thank You Jesus for the meal idea yesterday. Thank You for having all the ingredients in the fridge. Thank You for the open and ready stomachs. Thank You for no leftovers to put away. Would You do that again today?


For some reason, this was a hit with my veggie-chokin hubby and my unpredictable girls so I'll share it with you. I didn't take a before picture because I had no idea this was all going to happen.
Potato Vegetable Quiche
Lori Hiscock, Kalamazoo, Michigan
3 cups hash browns
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups sliced zucchini (I grated it and for my garden-growing readers, YES, we have to buy those here - scandalous I know.)
3/4 cup diced sweet red pepper
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup diced cooked ham
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1-1/2 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
In a bowl, combine the hash browns, egg and parmesan cheese. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. (I sprinkled some Adobo seasoning on the crust before putting it in the oven.) Bake at 400 degrees for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute zucchini and red pepper in butter until crisp-tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the ham, eggs, milk, basil, salt and pepper. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Unawear
I was in the kitchen while ConLai was in her bedroom getting dressed and this is what I heard:
Un-a-wear.
Unawear!
I CAN'T SAY IT!!
UN-awear.
UNAWEAR!
I can't say it!
She then came out with her underwear on. I asked her if she was saying underwear. She said, "Yes, unawear."
Un-a-wear.
Unawear!
I CAN'T SAY IT!!
UN-awear.
UNAWEAR!
I can't say it!

So long....
So long first love.
It was you who taught me to ride, you who faithfully took me to and from school in purple style, you who carried my beloved and I on sweet outings of windy bliss. Life on these streets just won't be the same without you. Others may come, but you, yes you, will forever be in my heart as my first. So we have parted ways, but I have entrusted you to a nice looking Jewish fellow who I know will care for you as I have. I thank you for the memories. Farewell!
