Five Again!

Drew got to celebrate his birthday twice this year – a very rare occurrence! On Sunday we took him to Chuck E. Cheese in Des Moines.  Lots of family came along too to help celebrate.  Turning five is a big deal!!!!

Lots of fun for the little ones and the oldest one!  It was such fun to see Albert enjoying himself.

I’ve been stitching away in the evenings when I can.  I just love this little bunny and those strawberries – so sweet.  And a fun quick stitch.  Will have to stitch it into a pinkeep soon so I can enjoy it this spring!

And this is what I’m working on now – this will take a little longer to finish.  I don’t always enjoy stitching lots of one color.  I guess I like to see  that I’m making progress when I stitch.  But, I’m making myself slow down and just enjoy the process of stitching with this one.  It’s fun to slowly see this dress take shape.  This stitch reminds me of days gone by, when life moved a lot slower and things seemed to be simpler.  It’s nice to slow down once in awhile in this fast paced world.

Well, it’s time to start the day – laundry to hang out, rooms to clean, supper to plan.  I’m going to try out a new recipe – Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs.  Hope it turns out.  I’m working on getting a list of tried and true recipes everyone likes put in a notebook that I can use to menu plan.  My goal is to be able to plan a weekly menu using these recipes – so I can shop once a week and not make so many trips to the store after work.  Hoping to save myself some time and money.  Wish me luck!
