Today was just an ordinary day.....it was nice!

It was the middle of a 3 day school/work week.....which is always very nice...lol

We have been having such nice weather, but today was cooler and rainy. It was a nice change.

I love a rainy day! I love the dreary-ness, it calms and relaxes me. Is this weird? lol

And the harder the rain the better! lol

I wouldn't want it to rain everyday, just random days.



What did we do all day? Well Blaine sleep for the better part of the day ( while I was home at least)

Kiki played (which she does very well by herself, while the other girls are in school)

And I, puttered around the house, putting stuff away, cleaning and thinking of the MANY projects that need to be started and completed on the house!

I also made Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle soup for supper



This stuff is great! It was the first time I tried it, and it was so easy chop up a pound and a half of chicken breast(brown it in a frying pan with a little bit of olive oil) , some carrots and onion, and celery, throw it in the slow cooker with 5 cups water and Volia! 4 hours later you got your self some very yummy Chicken Noodle soup!

I also made some biscuits when I got home from work, so that they would be hot out of the oven for supper!


I am not a "from scratch" kinda girl, so I really LOVE bisquick!

I use it for my pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, etc!

We didn't have a lick of leftovers! Which makes me happy! The kids loved the soup and the biscuits!

Even my extremely picky husband had seconds of both!!!

What's on tommorrow's menu?

Slow Cooker Speghetti, cheesy garlic bread, and salad....
