Snow day at our house!

This is Addy's "get me out of this house or I'm gonna be so mad" look. We have had quite the snow storm and haven't been able to go anywhere. It's too deep and cold for her soft baby skin. She is usually a very happy little one, but boy can she frown. If my memory serves me correctly, she was born frowning. Brian and I must be boring ;)
Addy in her new hat. If she see's us go to the door she hands us her coat and 'tells' us to put it on her. She also MUST have her hat and mittens on. She loves them and will actually wear them.
Us out in the snow, before the big one hit....obviously.
She's not too sure about this.
This is her favorite thing to do. Push that Little Tikes car. I found it on Craig list for a whopping $6. Everytime we are in the garage she wants to take it for a spin. Head down and going like the wind is the way she drives. Such a big girl now!

Meal time with comfort food

Yummy! This is my ham and scalloped potatoes we had the other night for dinner. It turned out wonderful and we'll have lot of leftovers. I got the potato recipe from my girlfriend. We are always swapping wonderful recipes.
For the ham I simply slathered it with honey and covered it in brown sugar in the crockpot on high for 4 hours.
Now on to the scalloped potatoes. These turned out great.

I used 5 medium sized red potatoes
2 1/2 C. Evaporated milk
3 T. flour
3T. Butter

Slice all your potatoes into small rounds and discard the ends. Grease your 8x8 baking dish and layer potatoes. I seasoned mine with salt, pepper and some garlic. You can use whatever suits your fancy. Set aside. Melt butter in sauce pan and add flour 1 T. at a time stirring constantly. It will be a little chunky. Then stir in your milk and warm it, do not boil. Pour over potatoes and throw it in a 325 degree oven uncovered for 40 minutes. Remove and stir, COVER and put back in oven to cook for 1 hour. Enjoy!!

Believe me when I say this is really good. I love some good comfort food this time of year. You might want to run around the block a few times...I though about it but that didn't happen :)

She's crafty!

I don't know how I have found time to do this, but I am making aprons! Here are a couple of pictures. Enjoy!
