29 Minutes to Dinner

I went to a Pampered Chef party last fall and the cookbooks were on special. I ordered one with new healthy recipes and one called 29 Minutes to Dinner. We LOVE them both. I was sceptical about the 29minutes book, but we have not only LOVED the food, it's taken less than half hour to make, even with 3 boys under age 5 screaming, fighting, and calling me away from the kitchen!!

Here is a picture of how I get groceries while Daniel is TDY.

Here are some of our favorites:
Toasted Angel Hair with Sausage and Peppers
Chef's Corner Notes: Toasting the pasta provides a nutty flavor and an interesting color contrast. Toasting the pasta in the same pan as the sausage imparts flavor from the sausage to th pasta.

New House Pictures

I posted pictures of the new house on Picasa today.  You can click  HERE  to see them.  We unloaded 12,000lbs and returned the truck today.  Daniel reports to work at 6:30am and the boys and I will be cleaning, unpacking and sorting.  They are scheduled to deliver the appliances and install the security system as well.

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Raingutter Regatta

This year Alan is a Tiger Cub in scouts!! Yesterday we had our first big scouting event, the Raingutter Regatta. The boys sand and paint their own boats and race them down a raingutter filled with water. They blow behind their sails through a straw to make the boats go. Eddie is having a rough time feeling left out because you have to be in first grade to be a scout. We got him a kit to build the boat with Alan to be a pretend scout. Here Eddie and Alan are doing the sanding. Alan is doing more sanding here. Next comes the painting. Alan chose to use 3 colors which requires a lot of time waiting for paint to dry!! While we waited for the paint to dry Alan decorated his sail with some retired scouting stamps in Mommy's office. Here is Alan with his completed boat. He named it "The Promise" because we were learning the Cub Scout Promise on the way to the race preparing for next week's meeting. Alan and Daddy registering for the race. They let Eddie have is own pr
