So, I made dinner tonight and it was quick and easy. Definitely needed to be quick since George was going out salmon fishing tonight. Thought you all might enjoy it too.
I took one box of brocolli au gratin rice a roni, then I cooked it as per the box instructions, after it was boiling I added in chopped portuguese sausage (any sausage would be good, but we love portuguese) and 3 cups of corn (I am sure any vegetables would work). I cooked them all together per the box instructions for 15 minutes and then let the whole thing sit for 5 minutes.
We bought some fancy bread and toasted it with brummel and dinner was done. Yes, that quick, easy and cheap. It was so quick that we even had dinner at 5:30 and that is after having a walk through at 4:15 today. George, Paisley and I loved it!!!

Until next time...
A few pictures...
Just a few pictures this week. It has been pretty quiet...that is out of the norm lately for us. Here is George's mom and Paisley below enjoying some kettle corn from the farmers market last Thursday.
I made some chocolate chip cookies the other night and Paisley just had to have one right out of the oven. Note to self...big mistake...it was all over her. Needless to say, it was bath time after that.
Paisley is obsessed with taking her clothes off and putting different ones back on. Here is an attempt to get her shirt on. I am glad it only happens at home.
Another obsession is purses, shoes and keys. Here she is going somewhere....not sure that she knows either...but she is ready with shoes on, purse in arm and keys in hand. The shirt is wrapped around her waist as if it were a skirt.

Never a dull moment with her.
Pampered Chef Party Thanks!!!!
So, we filled the house last night. This is why I need a bigger house!!!! I love hosting parties and having friends over. I hope that is a good enough reason for a bigger house. :)
Thank you all for coming!!! And thanks to those that gave me tons of outside orders. What a great Pampered Chef show. It was nice to sit around and eat warmy nutty carmel brownies with vanilla ice cream and talk the night away with dear friends.
I appreciate you all for taking the time out of your busy lives to come and support me and to help me get my cranberry red stone roaster...yes, that is all I wanted, but George is marking away at the catalog to spend the rest of the money. If anyone needs anything let me know by Monday...we are closing out the party then.
I must also add in that I have the BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD. George is so supportive and he is a great husband. He made his famous chicken wings and helped me set up and clean up. I am very lucky.
I am also lucky to have my mother-in-law here this week helping us out with Paisley while my cousin is on vacation and also to have extra hands to prepare for the party. I love you both.
I would post pictures, but I was having so much fun talking that I forgot to take some.... ;)

Fun Filled Place Weekend
I don't know about you all, but we are beat. We had a very long weekend. The heat made it even longer I believe. I am not complaining, but we had every fan in the house going and then some. Our weekend was full of fun and excitement. It was nice that we were off 3 days to boot.
The Place Family did many things this weekend. We had a BBQ at my mom's house on the 4th with the whole family there, followed by some fireworks. Even Paisley, with supervision, had fun with a sparkler.
These were new to us. You pull the string at both ends and they pop very loudly. It was really fun watching the girls. Here is Kyanne and Jeneva playing with them.
Here is Paisley picking on Jeneva. She just loves picking on her.
On Friday night we had the opportunity to go to a wedding for a co-worker. Congrats Lisa and Luke!!! We had a great time.
We also had a bunch of little girls over for a slumber party. Paisley may only be 19 months, but she is a big girl at heart. She loves to hang out with all of her cousins. I tell you having 5 little girls is fun, not sure that I want to do it every day though. I am exhausted thinking about it.
We filled the girls up with tons of sugar and let them play guitar hero. They danced the day away. Yes, even Paisley.
I picked up these pancake molds from William and Sonoma, love them.
They are in the shape of lady bugs, butterflies and a snail. The girls loved them too.
George went crabbing all weekend long. He brought back many and ate them all. They had crab for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Not sure why the funny face, but here is George cooking up his crab.
Here is Paisley in her 4th of July outfit. I found this a year ago and bought it. I almost thought it would not fit, but it fit great!!!
Here is Paisley...she had a fun filled weekend too. She couldn't even get to the crib in time to nap.
To beat the heat she played in the turtle which we filled with water. We have been so busy we have not had time to put sand in it. In addition, I am not sure I want a sand pile...they are very very messy.
Here is our little dare devil on her scooter. She looks so cute in her bathing suit. Love it!!!
Oh well, back to the work week...until next weekend. Hope you all had a great 4th of July and a great week ahead.
