Being Sick With Spices

We've been sick the past week. All 4 of us. We slept the days away, toughed it out through a couple of things we couldn't get out of, and even bought another humidifier to help us through it all. Through all the fever's and tissues, I did manage to make us a big pot of spice filled tortilla soup. Making the chips is always so tedious, but worth it in the end.


Then at the tail end of all the sickness, I got some much needed paperwork done, and Mark put our newly acquired "toy" in it's final resting spot. So late at night while the kids slept, we finally had dinner. I made a bagel sandwhich with cream cheese, baby swiss cheese, avocado, clover sprouts, tomato, and yummy fresh deli turkey. I saw it on Pinterest. I just had to have. I did. I liked. Staple?

Today I'm excited that I get to run to the fabric store, and make granola bars. I never thought to make these at home, but once I found a good and easy recipe, I had no excuse not to. I've also had eggplant on my mind, so I'll be researching how to prepare that, it should be interesting.

As far as kid's craft's go, the glow stick lanters didn't turn out as expected. It was a toxic mess, so I ended up just putting the glow sticks whole and uncut into the water. Mia still had a lot of fun with it, but it was nothing like the pictures that were posted. According to the comments, I was not the only who couldn't get it to work. I still have paint to make, but keep forgetting to buy more food coloring to make vibrant colors. Today I also plan to buy glitter. Lot's of glitter. I see a disastrous but fun mess in my near future.
