Problems.
We’ve all got them. Big problems. Stupid Problems. Finger problems that we can’t seem to stop writing about.
When I was a kid, unloading the dishwasher was one of my chores. Like most kids, I would have to be reminded and mom would say “I can’t make dinner until the kitchen is clean. I need you to unload the dishwasher NOW so I can get the kitchen cleaned up and make dinner.”
What’s this?
No, not a new kind of tile for your bathroom floor. Guess again.
Nope, not fish eggs. Last chance.
YES! Chia pudding! You got it!
How did I make chia pudding? OK I won’t make you guess, I’ll just tell you:
2 Tbsp of chia seeds
1/2 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tsp agave
Stirred and popped into the fridge for about 4 hours. I’ve seen chia pudding around and it’s been on my list of things to try ever since I won a 3 lb bag of chia seeds from Averie’s giveaway a few weeks ago. Averie posted four chia seed recipes this morning and that was it. Today was chia seed pudding day.
OK boys and girls stand up! It’s time to play Alison Says!
Alison Says… eat a giant salad for lunch EVERY DAY.
Woo HOO still standing!
Alison Says… figure out what to do with this giant winter squash you bought from the farm stand on the side of the road on Saturday.
Ohhhh I can do that! I can do that! Let's make soup.
Alison Says… peel that sucker and cube it up.
Done and done.
Dance a jig!!
Oh man didn’t get me! Totally NOT dancing a jig.
After my physics review this morning, I ate my chocolate breakfast cookie in my underwear whilst running around the house like a mad woman trying to get kids dressed, lunches packed and get us out the door on time to meet my girlfriend Sharon and her gang.
That’s quite a picture I just painted. And one long sentence too.
We made it to the zoo dressed and only 5 minutes late!
We checked out our rhino pal friends.
Watched a bird show.
Yes Maxine, do you have a question?
I didn’t really intend for today to be a day full of experiments, but who doesn’t want to want to be a their own lab rat? I mean really.
We met our friends at the park and had a neat activity planned that all the kids loved, including mine.
Clear as mud, no?
We had a to walk around the playground and find the shapes drawn in the upper left corner of each box. Then the bottom two boxes were for any other shapes we found.
Cigarette butt? Ummm, I think that’s a tube? Yeah, draw a tube.
