A Little Bit of Everything

Today I made Taco Pie. It is one of my favorite and easy meals to make. I often take this if I have to take a meal someplace. My mom started making this for us when I was in high school. It's been on the menu ever since.

Taco Pie
-slap a tube of crescent rolls on the bottom of a greased pie pan
-brown 1 lb of hamburger meat
-add taco seasoning to the meat....i just dump some in
-layer meat, cheese, sour cream and then tortilla chips on top of rolls.
you can omit the sour cream and serve it on the side. when I was in high school mom used to put taco doritos on top. those are yummy to.
You just can't go wrong with this recipe
bake in the oven at 350 for about 1/2 hour


Adoption
Many of you have asked if I did a nursery over the summer when we were suppose to adopt a little guy that fell through. I did do a little decorating so the following is some pictures of what I did. My mother made the wall quilt and the blankets hanging over the bed.

The wall quilt. I love the fabrics and colors mom used.

I love this quilt that I put on the end of the crib.

Jame's cousin sent me the bumper pad. She was so thoughtful and sewed on "Jesus Loves Me" on it.

Jame's grandma made the baby hat and sweater. I just laid it in the crib because it looks so pretty.
Next to it are some blankets that Jame's mom made.

And just in case we do end up with a little girl I do have some little girl stuff that mom made while she was here so it won't be to hard if I have to switch it all to a pink.

A quilt my mom made I will hang on the wall if we end up with a girl.

We never really got ready for a baby before this. I'm just going to let it all stay and continue to wait for God's perfect timing and little one He has for us. Boy, sometimes I think He is really trying to teach me a lesson on patience. :)

I stayed up until 2 am this morning finishing this doll hat I was made for my niece for Christmas. It is the first one I did and the flower was a bit difficult to make. After trying to follow directions and not being able to figure them out I just made up my own. I'm going to make another one for my niece to wear but will make it pink with a hot pink flower. I realized after I got it done I should have done the flower pink and the hat green...oh well, that's what happens the first time you make something.

My Funny Day
I was doing so good this morning. I got up and went to church to help my friend put birthday bags together for the kids. After I left I was able to get all the other running done I needed to. I knew that tonight we were under a snow advisory and I don't like going out in this weather. So all was going well. A nap was worked in during the afternoon and taco pie was out of the oven by the time James woke up.
It was going so well and then....Daisy jumped on my lap and jumped right into my coffee that I was holding. Both her front paws fit perfectly in my cup. :) Can't say I've ever had that happen before.
James left and I was getting ready to go to church tonight. He ran out of gas on his way to work! So....I had to go get him and do you know what??? I have to wake up at 5am tomorrow morning to go get him after it has snowed all night, while we are under this advisory which is exactly what I was trying my best to avoid. Of course he felt bad but I just told him it was okay and next time could he please, please do this in the summer...not when I have to get up and clean the snow off my car...chilly! I'm going to have to get some long johns this year because it is going to be a long winter if it keeps this up.
