Catching up on more posts here! This from the beginning of August. First off, starting off a Saturday with more work on that puzzle. We’re almost done! I really enjoyed having a puzzle out for a few weeks. All of us enjoyed wandering by or sitting for a spell and trying to put in a few more pieces.

Also, seems one of the kids got the camera and got a great shot of the state of Quinn’s kitchen. If I don’t do some regular cleaning out, the thing gets stuffed with everything. I am sure there is some developmental reason she does this, but I don’t know what it is. Any nook that is “hers” – between her bed and the night stand, the area at the foot of her bed where her treasure basket is, and her kitchen are constantly filled with items pillaged from all over the house. When anything is lost, everyone already knows to check with Quinn first. I know she was sent to thwart my decluttering ways!

Flashmob!
This day I was also in a flashmob with some friends. This wasn’t one of the fancy, dancy highly choreographed with professional dancers kind of thing, just a bunch of Mom’s having fun and helping kick off World Breastfeeding Day with some excitement. Don’t worry – some people freaked out when they saw flashmob and breastfeeding in the same sentence. We just did a fun dance – the rap part of the song we danced to had lyrics to were raising awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding.

It was cool to see how one worked and something to check off the ‘ole bucket list.

Yummy Dinner!
Well, I was feeling so great after that flashmob that I came home and made a sinfully yummy dinner – Creamy baked noodles with eggplant and cheese.

Oh my, melt in your mouth eggplant and tomato sauce, a bechamel sauce, penne pasta, a pinch of nutmeg – it was so good! I paired that fairly heavy dish with a salad and some raw carrots. Y-U-M!
