Fire Station

Mady had a field trip to the fire station this morning.  The firefighters were very sweet with the kids an showed them all around.  They were able to sit in the firetrucks and hold the hoses.  


There was also a game of hopscotch.  I guess girls will be girls no matter where they are!

Fort Wayne Zoo

I packed up the kiddos, met my friend Dusti and her kids, and headed to the Fort Wayne Zoo.  We had beautiful weather and a great time.  


Six kids.  Two moms.  One very long day.

And we rocked it. 

Mostly.

Lunch Friends & Freezer Cooking

We met our dear friend Kathy for lunch after school today.  She was Mady's preschool teacher last year and Mady loves her so much.  We all do.  It was wonderful to catch up with her.

 
 
After lunch, Owen took a nap, Mady did puzzles, and I worked on freezer meals.  I have been wanting to do some freezer cooking.  Spend a day or two cooking my heart out, and have meals ready to go during the week.  Kroger had a great deal on chicken this week so I stocked up and made some crock pot freezer meals.  They were super easy.  The most time consuming part of the process was looking for recipes I wanted to try and making the grocery list.  I spent a little less than two hours and got 8 meals.  They are large enough that they will feed our family at least two nights, and probably still have some left for lunches.  One nap time and 8 meals equals a success in my book!
