Freezer Meals

The other day I made 10 lbs or so of meatballs and froze them. They are so good. I did a bit of trade work with Amanda so I sent some home with her and then Rachel let me use her freezer to quick freeze some so I gave them a few to try for dinner too. I think from their comments everyone seemed to enjoy them.

This is Charlee with her blessing dress bonnet on! She has out grown the dress that we planned on blessing her in. OOPS

The three of us have been planning on doing a freezer meal day since before I had Charlee.

Jones send me photos to post! THANKS

Today was the day! So I now have 6 bags of different Chicken meals in my freezer. Rachel, Amanda, and I all got together the other day and whipped out 18 bags of freezer meals. I tried the sticky chicken tonight and it is really good. I recommend to all readers "get a group together" Invite me into your group, I would love more bags of different meals in my freezer!

The kids played pretty well and I think one of the only crying incidents (besides poor fussy NO poop Charlee) was from Aiden. He climbed the fence to get into the tree and I guess some hornets started flying around him and he did what daddy said "HE HELD PERFECTLY STILL" it didn't work two of them landed on him and he has 5 sting marks on his arm! I will add a picture later. (taken Sept 4)POOR Aiden he didn't move and just started crying. I went and grabbed him and brought him inside. Jones (aka mother of the year) got some ice and put it on his arm and soon he was better. It swelled up a bit but he has been on Benedryl for his "rash" anyway.

Well about the Rash, it is called "Pityriasis rosea is a harmless"...(this is what it said when I googled it, it is also what both doctors said about it.) It is harmless and not contagious it just looks nasty and can be itchy. POOR AIDEN, the pictures that the Doctors have shown me were a lot worse, so say a little prayer that it doesn't get worse.

Side note: I have been outside when Aiden has done his "hold still a bee is around me." He holds so still and never moves nor does he say anything until the bee is gone. I told him from now on if the bee stings him daddy's advice goes out the window and it is time to move and get out of there. Aiden rarely complains about pain or sickness!

Tonight I had a surprise for the boys and told them to go and do there chores. 15 minutes later Jacob came downstairs and told me that the "wall broke."

What do you mean the "wall broke."

He took me upstairs and showed me a scrape down the wall behind the chair in Charlee's room. They were jumping off the chair and making it recline. Well it was positioned too close to the wall, but that didn't stop them it just took two of them to get it to recline all the way back and "break the wall."

No I didn't break them, but they did go to their beds for a bit. I then told Jacob and Aiden "what should you be doing instead of messing around." Jacob said "my chores." He then went and did his chores, so when we went to the hot dog/marshmallow roast he only had to sit in the chairs for about 10 min. while doing extra homework. Aiden however told me he did not need to do his chores etc... so he sat in the chair for the full hour + that we were there. Neither Jacob or Aiden got to roast hot dogs or marshmallow (they love to do this.)

When we got home, Aiden (who was already in his pj's) said as he was getting out of the car, "mama I am going to go upstairs to brush my teeth, go pee and go to bed." I told Aiden thank you and gave him a kiss, then I told him to take his bike in the back yard.... MISTAKE 10 min later I am chasing that sweet "going to do the right thing" boy and his older and younger brothers all over the back yard.

I am soooo tired!
