- 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.

A life of laughter, wonder and surprises!
Glad you are all recovering from the flu.
Birthdays take FOREVER to come when you are waiting to be 5!
Homemade croutons… YUM! I hope you’re feeling better soon. (That curry soup sounds so warming!) :~D
Ohhh that flu was something else eh? I hope you are all better and that your Thanksgiving was fabulous.
It looks like we are both neglecting our bloggy world.
I am so envious of your home-making abilities. I would love to be able to do that stuff, the thing is, if I was home, I wouldn’t do that stuff.
I might try the home-made croutons though. I am doing 1st Place and I am trying to go whole grain only, no preservatives and low sodium. I think that those would work better than the store bought ones I have been using.
