Those boys of your's are so stinkin cute! What a busy day! All of your food looked really yummy. I love making all of our meals from scratch. I'm going to have to try to make homeade ravolli. That looked yummy.

I can't believe you handmake your ravioli! You're my hero! I loved all the pics, thanks for letting us into your day!

Fab pics hun !!!

Awesome pics!! I too am in awe that you made homemade ravioli. If I decided to do that, I would demand that DH be home to watch Reid- but you did it alone with 2 kiddos in the house! lol. You rock!

The boys are adorable (as always) and Chris looks so nice all dressed up for work!

szczepanski · #13 July 6th, 2009, 02:35 PM

And man, that taco salad looks realllly good. I'm going to have to add that to my grocery list. Wow.

I loved seeing how you spent your day--thanks for sharing! Your boys are so handsome. I also am in awe of your homemade ravoli---what were the boys doing while you made that? I couldn't do that while Hallie was awake and I only have one child!

The boys were really good that day!!! They were playing in the living room, and they'd run back and forth from the living room and the kitchen, and I would check on them periodically. They are NEVER far from me, by their choice too.

And that tickles me!

Mod-LadyCoconut · #17 July 6th, 2009, 04:37 PM

Good God can you cook or what?! That food looks DELICIOUS and I want to COME OVER!

YUM.

What lucky boys you have! do you do that like every day? haha I'm really impressed! I didn't know you were knitting Angela a blanket... it's looking pretty awesome, I can't wait to see pics of the final product! Your boys are super cute... I really enjoyed your day and pictures. TFS!

I try to cook like that everyday. I try to make just about everything from scratch if I can afford it. I do a lot of baking, so I buy a 20lb bag of flour. And it lasts me about 3 months or so for just under $9. I make my own pizza dough....sometimes, I make my own bread. I make pancakes from scratch.....but I add stuff like pumpkin pie mix and apple pie mix and canned peaches for flavor and they're really good. The best is pumpkin pancakes with a little bit of syrup and chocolate chips!!!

I bake all my cakes from scratch....I love to be in the kitchen.....it's my favorite place in the whole house. I'm happiest with my hands all covered in food!

I hardly ever have leftovers of anything because everyone eats it up! I struggle with Edward because he won't eat cooked potato or pasta. But he'll eat just about anything else.
