Matthew had another night at the ballpark and we are looking forwards to his last game next week. They will each get trophies and wish the season good bye. It was fun but it will be even more fun knowing something else will be crossed off the planned calendar! :) Anyone from Lancaster County know what I'm talking about?
Playing back catcher ...
I'm not joking when I say that this girl is in her glory when she gets a hold of Hadassah's lip gloss. She makes a total mess. Not just with her face and arms and toes but sometimes on her shirt too. That all depends on how long she's been at it before getting caught. :/
This poor, poor doll. I guess she thought that she should have some too! Just a small bit.
This week also consisted of some really yummy meals with zucchini!!! It seems that if you plant one zucchini, you have enough for all your neighbors. Especially, with so much rain and wetness for the garden crops to grow! Sister Jody had some extras. :)
I made this Zucchini/Squash mixture for supper one night. It turned out delicious and would love to have it all over again next week! It's packed full of flavor! I love, love my fresh basil and parsley from the garden right now and it blended in great with this dish!
Try it for yourself!!!
Zucchini with Stuffing:
4 cup cubed zucchini
3/4 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter, divided
1/4 lb. Velveeta
2 3/4 cup croutons, divided
1 (10 3/4 oz.) cream of mushroom soup
1/4 tsp. basil (I used fresh!)
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 lb. hamburger, fried
Saute' vegetable in 3 Tb. butter. Combine remaining ingredients except 3/4 cup croutons. Spoon into casserole dish. Top with 3/4 cup croutons tossed in remaining butter. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes. Serves 8!
I mixed zucchini and squash for this recipe. I also didn't have croutons so instead I just put some bread crumbs on top of everything! Yummy! Thanks to Fairhaven School Cookbook for this recipe!!!
Somebody pinch me!!! The other morning, Hadassah said that there is a kitty on the back porch. Oh goodness! We've been through the 'kitty stage' here at our home and we were kitty free for some time now. I am good with that!!! But, out of the blue, this kitty showed up. Who is responsible???
Ashlyn, of course, took to a great liking with this cat they already call "Princess". She's been playing and holding it so much.
This is the toy at our house! Mike's been talking for a long time already about getting a bike and using that for his method of good exercise! He's got some friends into biking and so after much thinking and wishing, he finally went and bought one for himself this morning. The whole works! New shoes, helmet, gloves, clothes, sunglasses and of course the bike! He was so eager and ready to try it out!!!
After the Falcon gathering today (that's Mike's old ball team friends from a way back), Mike went out for a bike ride. He was in smiles and really ready to try this new sport! He still likes to run, but with him having some Arthritis in his big toe, he thinks biking will not be so painful. One thing about running though is that he goes and then comes back after awhile! With the biking thing, I can see him bike all over the creation and finally find his way back home. :) We will see ...
So proud of his new buy!!!
It's time for the weekend!!! I hope it's a relaxing one and more great memories made with family and friends.
Oh, yeah ... we are officially on the "potty training" page in life with our toddler! She's been doing great and so wish me more great, dry days!!! :) Good bye pampers for her!!!
~ Blessings!
