Our dinner experience...

Here lately I have been giving the girls paper, pens, pencils and crayons to draw with at the coffee table, and this is one that Cadence drew. The round swirly thing at the butt is what she says is him pooping eggs!! She is hilarious!! Where the heck she comes up with this stuff, I will never know!! Kids say the darnest things!!:)

I know that this is kind of a dark picture, but this is some of the bows that I have been making. These are so simple and really easy to make that I spent one night just making a bunch of them. It's almost therapeutic in a way, as long as the kids are cooperative!

I have really been wanting to try a new tradition for Monday nights, before having Family Home Evening, which would be dinner. I am also loving my Relief Society Cookbook, and have tried new things out of it. Well, while planning out our dinners with what we have for 2 weeks, I came across a recipe for soft pretzels, and thought, what a nice, easy and light thing to make, so I was pretty dead set on making those for our pre-Family Home Evening meal. The thought wasn't setting to well with me and I really felt that I needed to do a trial run to see how and if these were even going to turn out. Since it was my first time making these in my life, I thought, stick to the directions. Bad idea!! They actually probably would have turned out a lot better had I used flour to roll them into ropes, to then form into a pretzel! I sent a text to Clint immediately stating that this is what I was wanting to do, but this is what didn't turn out, and he was due home in an hour and a half and I had no back up plan!! I frantically start going through the same relief Society Cookbook looking for anything that I could make in a pinch. I came across a pizza dough recipe that didn't seem to difficult so I immediately got started, and made 2 pizzas out of all the dough that it made. To my surprise, the second pizza came out of the oven right as the garage door opened! Whew! I saved dinner!! The olives in the picture look green, but they are black olives!! It really wasn't to bad either!:)
