A Peachy Keen Dinner

Peaches are hands down, my favorite fruit. I love peach season and can never get enough! I had some local peaches that I needed to use yesterday, so I came up with a wonderful french toast cassarole which we gobbled down for dinner!

Ingredients 3 cups cubed bread (I used cinnamon raisin bread) 6 eggs 2 cups milk 2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp cinnamon 4 peaches chopped sugar for sprinkling Mix eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl, add your bread and stir till the bread is fully coated. Put in a 13x9 pan sprayed with a non stick cooking spray, sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 350 for about 30 min, or until the eggs are set. When it comes out sprinkle with powdered sugar. I topped ours with whipped cream, but it is just as yummy with syrup

USA!!! USA!!!

Today is the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics! I didn't do much to celebrate the last Olympics (Winter 2010) because I was giving birth to my little Roo. We did watch quite a bit in the hospital, so much in fact that my hubby and I actually figured out the rules for "Curling". The kids and I spent the morning doing some Olympic crafts! They all turned out quite well, from our Olympic Ring paper chain, so some torches it really got the kids excited to celebrate!

Not only did I want to celebrate the feeling of the Olympics I wanted to do some crafts to celebrate our American pride!

It was a fun and educational morning as we talked about the different aspects of the games and such! Now we can't wait to start cheering!!!!

Instant Superhero....Just Add Boy!!

June was a pretty rough month for my Little Professor. He is feeling much better now, and back to his superhero antics. Every superhero needs a hide out so with a little help from Pae we turned his wreck of a room to a hideout fit for any superhero!

It was such a mess to begin with! Between packing/unpacking and being sick all pretences of keeping his room clean were given up! We went to Walmart to stock up on things that were needed, some storage and new bedding was on the menu.

We found these cute little cups in the party section. They were less than a dollar a piece and perfect for holding pens, pencils and whatever small treasures my little guy come across.

I bought some plain colored storage bins and added a superhero touch! I saw the idea for these online, and really love how they turned out! Between the cups and the bins his desk area is nice and neat! I printed out some superhero pictures from the internet and framed them in dollar store frames.

We now have a room fit for a superhero!

In order to keep it nice and tidy I am going to try something I saw online. Right before bed I am going to go into his room. If anything is out of place or on the floor it goes into a box. In order to redeem the item he has to do an extra chore. Hopefully this works!

Something Old to Something New

Today was a day of projects! I worked on my Little Professors room, I will share more about that when I am completely done, it will take a few days! I also took a toy organizer that a friend gave me a few years ago and turned it into something new.

It is in great shape, but didn't really go well in my Roo's bedroom. She is in a Tinkerbell phase, and when her godmother gave me an old Tinkerbell calendar I knew what I wanted to do.

This morning I took it apart and armed myself with purple and green spraypaint that I picked up at Hobby Lobby for 30 percent off yesterday. After multiple coats I got it covered....when have some purple grass in our backyard now, but oh well. After it dried I put it together getting to use my hubby's power drill...so very much fun!!! Then using mod podge I added the Tinkerbells to the side. I also mod podged some pretty scrapbook paper to the front of the bins to "girl-ify" it a bit. I really loved how it turned out, it is perfect for my little Roo's room!!!
