We have a puny and feverish boy in the house today. Those are his only symptoms, and the doctor who fielded our mildly frantic midnight phone call says it’s probably just a viral crud. Even so, could you keep him in your prayers today? He’ll be up in his bed, watching DVDs, sipping juice and absorbing all of the good energy you send his way.
Five-year-old fashionistas
“Did you wear that to a special occasion?” Poppy asks her friend, who has come over to play and is wearing a very fancy dress.
“No,” her friend says.
“Because you look old enough to be married.”
“I know! But by the time I’m old enough to be married, this will definitely be too small.”
“And you’ll have to find another one just like it, because it’s soooo cute!”
I just realized we’re having sandwiches almost every night
- Monday: Jason’s Deli
- A Jason’s Deli opened near us not too long ago, and I learned last week that Monday is kids’ night. Which means free kids meals. So we’re going to give it a try.
- Tuesday: Hot ham & cheese sandwiches
- Poppy chose grilled cheese sandwiches for her kids’ choice pick. I didn’t think that would be sufficient for the grownups in the household, so I’ll be throwing some ham on our sandwiches.
- Wednesday: Grilled pork sliders
- I made these a few times last summer, and now I can’t find the recipe I used. If I still can’t find it by Wednesday, I’ll wing it.
- Thursday: Quiche
- I’m going out to dinner with a friend (yay!), so Rockford will be making a quiche. One of the pourable ones from the freezer section. They’re so easy, and they’re pretty tasty, too.
- Friday: Pizza
