a not typical/typical February day


Not typical: it's cold and rainy. I heard the Superstitions are even covered in snow! February is usually just right, but I don't mind cold days like this one bit, because any dip in temperature keeps us that much farther away from the summer time heat.

Number two: we are sick. I guess we are lucky, since this is the first time we've not been well all winter. I feel like everyone else I know has been battling one thing after another. We have runny noses and coughs and stuffy heads. Nothing a day (or two) in bed won't cure.


Typical: an afternoon snack, backpacks and shoes strewn all over the front hall, and no idea what to make for dinner. Blerg. What are you cooking tonight?

  6. Spaghetti and veggies. Hubby won't be home for dinner tonight, so I'm making something I know the kiddies love.

    I'm so thankful every time we have a rainy day now because I keep thinking it is our last for a while :)

  9. you've probably made dinner. but it looks like you need a home made chicken noodle soup day. My kids love helping to make the noodles and it is easier than it sounds! For us: Chicken fajitas with sauteed onions and peppers (i could seriously have an onion fajita i love the onions so much), beans, and spanish quinoa and guac. Maes made apple chimmis for dessert! (we had a snow day...and tomorrow is late start, so being lazy).
