• Still recovering from the flu, but we are doing great!
• S and I haven’t left the house since Friday night.
• I made Pioneer Woman’s Carrot and Squash Curry Soup tonight.
• Success!
• The funny part was that I had just been talking about a similar recipe with my Aunt Macie the day before…then Pioneer Woman was gracious enough to read our minds and post her recipe for it.
• So nice of her to do that.  *cheesy grin*
• I rounded out the meal with homemade ranch dressing on salad and homemade croutons.
• The kids love helping make the croutons – tearing the bread apart, tossing them in the olive oil…
• …then eating them all once they are done.
• I finally made a successful batch of mayonnaise!  Yea!  I love the taste of it, too.  I used this recipe.
• I am keeping G home from school this week just in case.  I would hate to spread it to his classmates and their families.
• Oh, yes, he misses it.  Who am I kidding??  *I* miss it!  LOL
• So we are working on the letter J at home this week.  It’s amazing how much free preschool stuff there is online for the letter J!
• We’re going to do a lesson about the fall season this week, too.  Tomorrow:  Leaves.
• G is asking about FIVE times a day when he’s going to turn FIVE.  He’s so excited.
• S keeps asking for her birthday cake.
• It’s going to be a busy holiday/birthday season this year…
• …and for many years to come.
• Sweet blessings.
