Freezer Meals

Today was long, busy and productive. My mom came over at 9:30 and we worked and worked until about 4:30 making freezer meals to stock my freezer for after the baby comes. Of course that included changing 3 of Hattie's dirty diapers--sheesh--and going with Ellie potty no less than 4 times--at least there were no accidents--and trying to deal with them feeling a bit neglected hence some craziness! But by the end, we made about eight different recipes but enough of those to make 20 meals. It went smoothly. I was thrilled that I had bought all and enough of the right ingredients. The only thing we had to go out and get was a roll of wax paper. But it was a long day on our feet. By about lunch time we both had feet that were screaming at us--man they hurt. I am SO thrilled though that my freezer is stocked with probably at least a month of meals. My family will be able to eat more than cold cereal or mac & cheese until I come out of that new mom fog that I am sure I'll be in for a while. Thanks Mom for all your help!!

In the afternoon, I got a text from sweet Karolyn that said, "I am bringing dinner at 5." What a blessing! Even after all the cooking, I hadn't planned anything for dinner tonight, nor did I have an ounce of desire or energy to make anything, so that was a very appreciated gesture. It was yummy, too. Thanks Kar.

...just a couple random pictures since I haven't had any pictures lately.

Buried under the heap of girls' clothes we have floating around this house. I've been through them all now though and we are down to a manageable amount of boxes.
