So day two of no sides to our cribs any more, and yes it's a challenge, but as our youngest has figured out how to climb out of the crib anyway it seems a moot point although it's certainly a challenge. So far today no nap...a walk to the store and what seems to be boundless energy makes me hope for a decent night at least of just sheer exhaustion from the girls we shall see.
I've been busying myself in the kitchen doing the food prep for Monday, I have all the root veggies sitting in water, the green beans almost done as well and the apple pie has already been made. I've also started on making Xmas presents also involving cooking. James is being a doll and helping out with dinner tonight although I have done a lot of the food prep already so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge and all he really needs to do is follow the instructions on the back of the packet. We are opting for an early dinner due to the lack of nap by the two horrors thinking that sooner or later they will pass out and won't want to be up too late tonight.
I do have to confess the kitchen smells divine at least and the oven has been put to good use:) Tomorrow I just have to deal with making pasta and reheating sauce for the girls and soup for James and I, gotta love frozen left overs, far better than premade shop food and much healthier, and actually quick a bit cheaper too.
Tonight I'm finishing off dinner with mashed rutabega which I remember so fondly from my childhood. For those that don't know rutabega or swede is basically a large turnip, cook until tender then mash with butter and a little milk. It has a slightly spicey taste to it which is perfect with a stew.
