Pasta and Cactus

Today was not the best of days. Teething + Colds = Cranky people. No major incidents or funny mishaps today, just two whining kids and a mom who threw in the towel at 1:00pm by making them take early naps. All I have to say is I hope tomorrow is better!

I HAD to get groceries today though for fear we'd all starve if I didn't. But there was no way I was taking both kids, so I waited for Dennis to get home from work to go. Luckily the kids woke up in slightly better moods, so Dennis didn't complain about keeping Hollie while Mav and I went to the grocery store. I was kind of hoping to get off scott free....but decided not to push my luck considering he got his fair dose of them over the weekend!

Anyway, I decided a few days ago that I am going to attempt making something different for dinner every night this month. I think the Food Network is my new best friend :) Tonight I was going to make Orecchiette Pasta with italian sausage, grape tomatoes, garlic and spinach. But I couldn't find any orecchiette at the super market, so I improvised and used rigatoni instead. It looked every bit as good as it was :)


Oh! And to my surprise, one of my houseplant's actually bloomed today! That's a first for me and I am super excited about it! I don't exactly have a green thumb, so I'm really not sure how I got so lucky....hmmmm
