The secret to blogging will be to move on if we miss a day, and not try to catch up.  AJ bought lots of groceries today.  I know there were at least three stores involved. Not sure what he spent but the food he made was super tasty.

Big Day

"Ice out" is always a celebration at our house, even when it's more than five weeks late. To top it off, a Christmas leftover is on the menu, another big deal, especially when it was a lovely gift from two of the boys. Amanda kindly patted us on the head, said you kids have fun and sent us on our way. If we had tea, we could have a tea party on the ceiling!

Loony

Today in my class we had beach day. The kids bought towels for "laying out."  we made sandcastles with blocks and wrote poems and painted pictures.  We did it just for fun.  It felt like we needed to step out of the routine a little bit.  Also, when we had a snow day back in late fall, the snow started falling and didn't really stop until we started planning beach day.  It seemed possible, but a little loony, I'll admit, that our classes snow day made winter start.  Was it really so loony to think that a beach day might have the same effect?  Maybe not.  It turned 70 degrees that same day.

Later, delighted with a visit from Auntie Karen who was down to see her leg doctor and watch the ice go off the lake, we heard and saw the biggest, loudest loons ever.  EVER!  I went outside to take pictures because to my naked eye the loon looked like the size of a large deer.  The camera didn't do it justice, but it was huge.  And loud. Amanda and Thomas took a long canoe ride and saw lots of loons close up.   They looned away all night long, too.

What with our voracious snacking (see below) and Karen's cruel refusal to spend the night in a gluten-free household (just kidding everybody- she's still avoiding stairs and kindly hoped to leave me free to work on my stuff), we didn't get around to eating dinner until around 9:00.  But it was delicious.  Thanks to AJ for cooking (again)

St Patricks day deliciousness

Long, long day with delicious interludes

Today AJ packed me the best lunch, I guess.  I got the last of the beef tritini, which is a layered spinach, cheese, mushroom and beef business that tasted like lasagne without all of the pesky noodles.  He had a gas station apple.  Dude.  

It was a long day, with the school council meeting that used to include pizza luce deliciousness but now has some volunteer food to tide us over til we get home for dinner.  At 8:30.  

What made the whole thing was workable was my delicious beef tritini lunch (there probably is no such thing as beef tritini.)  And a side trip to Kawalski's to get a nice little handcrafted salad.  With crab.  And pickled beets.  Oh baby, oh baby.

Kristin ate:

egg

3 cups coffee with cream

beef tritini

diet coke

1/2 cup almonds

a protien bar from Dawn's snack box.  gluten free.

A lovely salad with spinach, beets, crab, chicken, steak, egg, and peppercorn ranch.

diet coke.

sugar free chocolate pudding

I might eat a fudgesicle in a little while.  Healthy choice.

Kristin spent-

Long day little lunch = bad

Did not have much to Pack for lunch today so stopped at about 2:30 and bought an apple. So far not so bad then stopped at fleet farm to buy chicken supplies at about 4:30 still pretty starving and decided to buy some trail mix for a little snack. Once on the road had a small handful but then traffic slowed to 10 mph for about 15 minutes then came to a stand still. Hour and half later got home with and a quarter of the 24 oz bag of Trail mix gone ( 550 cal). So here is what AJ eat today;

Egg
2 cups coffee
20 gf cracker
Ounce of cheese
Bottle of squirt
6 cherry tomatoes
A baby belle cheese
Protein bar
Apple
Cup of trail mix
Burger tritini


Need to cut the junk out so I don't feel like I'm starving. Lesson learned? Tomorrow is another day time to get back on track

AJ spent
