4. Two Words: European Chocolate
5. Greek casserole disaster
6. first time ratatouille - :( blech.
7. introduced to Menu Plan Monday - started - then quit.
8. yummy yummy home grown popcorn. we may never go back to microwave
9. e-mealz.com saved my starving family
10. soup soup and more soup
11. can I just say one more time that I perfected the delicious Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls?
12. My Dad taught Haleigh the tricks of perfect french bread every. single. time.

edited later: oh! I forgot! How could I forget??? I found more copy cat recipes and made Olive Garden Zuppe Toscana Soup, Olive Garden salad dressing, Carrabbas Bruschette,and Carlos O'Kelly's Chicken Picado, and Olive Garden Breadsticks (which are so simple you'd be shocked).

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today...

Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
