last night was the only night this week that we were all home as a family. i can tell that the in and out of mom and dad lately has had an effect on my kiddos. so we were all looking forward to a quiet evening here at home. well, i'm not sure it was quiet but we were all around. first, i got home late after school because i was stuck at wal-mart. can i tell you how irritated i am that they have 50 check out lanes and only keep about 5 open. i had produce so i couldn't self-check, which frankly those lines looked just as bad. i digress...
so i got supper started. thursday night is soup night around here. hubby requested white chicken chili. i don't like beans so i make mine without. while i was sauteeing the onions i knew i needed to be cutting the chicken up, but i also had dough ready to be made into breadsticks. i was a bit insane in the kitchen...but managed to get it all going. then i sampled the soup and quickly realized it was hot - way too hot for my kiddos! so i pull out the double noodle soup from campbells. all was well. after about 3 bites hubby and i were trying to cool down. this soup was way hotter than i remember. go ahead all of you bean loves and tell me that the beans would have calmed the heat down. i don't care!!!
anyways..while having dinner our neighbor girl (2 1/2) was on our porch. soon i found my kids were done and headed out to play. then hubby headed out to play while i jumped on to check for email. i heard the dog bark and poked my head outside to ask hubby a question. the kids said he had gone next door to look at the neighbors kitchen. so i headed over too. the kids were having a hay day playing in our big pile of hay! we visited for awhile and i held the new baby and admired their almost finished kitchen. we are getting the same countertop and backsplash so i liked seeing what it looked like. hubby left to say he was doing the dishes. i followed a few minutes later.
upon returning to our yard, now filled with hay, mapboy let me know oscar had been bad dog. i asked what he did and he said he hate the breadsticks. oh boy!! so when i returned hubby confirmed that when he walked in oscar the weiner dog had gotten on top of the table and was finishing the last of 2 breadsticks! i noticed he also finished off princess's noodle soup broth and hubby's spicy broth!!
then i realized the kids were grossly dirty so i finished the dishes, gave them baths, gave them a snack, tucked them into bed with hubby's help. then i was pumped!! finally some good tv back on....the new survivor, i'll give it a B, but the office...oh yeah...still insanely funny!!!
what i thought would be a calm enjoyable evening...was, enjoyable, but i won't say calm!!
