School Shopping

It's done for another year. We have jeans, carpi's, shorts, shirts, shoes, panties and socks. We have all required school supplies. That was so fun to me as a kid, getting supplies, new paper and all that. I think my daughter is a happy camper. We still don't know who her teacher is, but I think she is at ease with it all now that she knows I'll be at school a lot. My MIL came along with us yesterday to help with the baby while we tried on clothes. I promised the kids that IF they were good that I would take them to toys"r"us so they could spend their allowance money. They had a great time and ended up with a easy bake oven and a snoopy snow cone make. My arms are rubbery from making snow cones. You have to crank that thing to get the ice shavings to come out. Don't know if any of you have the cheese grater from Pampered chef, but it works like that. I'm ready to hit target to get a electric snow cone maker. We also did cookies in the easy bake, wow they were crunchy, but they tasted like a cookie.

I'm in a dinner rut, ya ever get there?? I'm sick of the regular things I make and can't find anything that sounds so yummy. If my kids had it there way we would have spaghetti, garlic bread and steak every night. I love lighter things like shrimp with tomatoes, garlic and pine nuts over whole wheat pasta, hubby does not. So we (me) are in a a rut. I think tonight I may make ham and biscuits??? I don't know. I would love to hear any suggestions you all have. If anyone is reading this thing, hehe.

I feel your pain with the dinner rut. I have such a hard time finding new things to cook, and then get exasperated knowing that Jonah will just whine about eating it anyway. Oh - I did make a crockpot Jambalaya last week that was delicious....I'll send you that recipe and a lamb chop one that was really good too!
