Photo-A-Day #2344

All the rain lately has gotten me a little stir crazy. We have used the time to be productive though. We finally cleared the dining room of boxes and we set up the dining room table. Tonight we had our first meal in our dining room so that was enjoyable.

Allison made a huge batch of sauce and meatballs. She froze a bunch of servings so that we’ve have some stuff on hand for when the baby arrives and we are too tired and bleary eyed to do anything more than heat up a meal.

We’re getting prepared for that little one to come along too. Eva’s signed up for a sibling class and we’ve got to get the nursery in order but we will. Soon.

Eva with her special apron (we still don’t know who sent it) and I wore the Betty Crocker one that was sent to me. Continue reading Baking Betty Crocker Molasses Cookies with Eva
