Today was truly one of those adventures in mommy hood that
lead to a prestigious #moty award. I’m hitting the campaign trail early in the
year! Today was my last day of Christmas break before returning to work
tomorrow, so the kiddo and I had big plans of not getting out of our pjs unless
it was necessary. (I got out of mine to go to Wal-Mart, but she stayed in hers
pretty much all day)
First things first, we started the morning off with The Dinosaur
Train. I love this show on PBS and feel like it is one that should be a steady
viewing schedule. Also, Dr. Scott is pretty hot. If I find out that man is not
a real paleontologist then he will lose some of his hotness. I actually feel
like I’m learning something by watching the show. Today, I learned about the Nodosaurus, it had four short legs, five-toed feet, a
short neck, and a long, stiff, clubless tail. The head was narrow, with a
pointed snout, powerful jaws, and small teeth. Thanks for the lesson,
Dr. Scott! #MOTY Moment – Educational Programming.
After that, my day was dominated by playing chase with the
kiddo and Gobble Gobble, our turkey windsock from Thanksgiving. I found him in
the dollar section at Target and today was his last day with us as he has officially
fallen apart.
RIP Gobble Gobble
But the real focus of this post, is my first adventure in
cooking. Some people may feel that I cheated a little by using a crock pot
recipe, but these Sweet
and Tangy Meatballs are AMAZING! The best part? It only has three
ingredients and I didn't really have to do any work!
Meatballs, grape jelly and chili sauce = yummy!
Running this kitchen like a boss! Yea, I even added some rice
and
garlic bread and some
peas for the kiddo.
Mommy, is it ready, yet?
BOOM! Elise – 1, Kitchen – 0
Overall, today was a major accomplishment on the fast track
to #moty2013. I made an awesome meal, watched some educational program with the
kiddo and had some great play time before heading back to work tomorrow. Oh,
another great highlight of the day, when my daughter decided to take her diaper
off in front of the large open window in the living room. #moty2013
