Picture a Day

I think I like this Meme :o) But I am noticing the most fun things to take pictures of happen to be the things that I wish would not happen at all, lol!... you'll see...

January 23: That's not trail-mix ladies! This is what I picked up off our carpeted dining-room floor before I vacuumed! Yum-yum!! My F.I.L was like "eewhh don't share a picture of that!" but I told him the other Mommy-Bloggers would be able to relate :o).
January 24: This was just some of the food we were blessed with from the church getting "left-overs" from Trader Joes... mmm Zucchini! Thank you Lord for noticing our need and for providing, I love You!

January 25: This was my daughter getting into mischief instead of taking her nap! Typical Sunday afternoon!

January 26: This is my favorite salad with some free grapes added :o)

January 27: This was my son getting into mischief - not long after I left the room he poured my whole cup of juice into his dump-truck! Sigh!
This was me giving the drump-truck a bath :o)

January 28: These were made from more of the free food we received! A fresh whole chicken and some tortillas! I boiled the chicken, de-boned it (I hate doing that!!!), shredded it, seasoned it (salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and that powered chicken bullion stuff:). Then I rolled it in the flour tortillas with jack cheese, brushed them with a little olive oil and baked them! This really was a hit - and fun to make too!

January 29: Today is Bible study day - but me and the kids have colds with a fever and I have more than half of my study to finish, so I am not sure I will be going :o( I don't want to get anyone else sick and I might just wanna rest when my hubby wubby gets home from work.
Please pray for us, especially since we have been off and on sick a lot, I really want to see my lil brother and he has a pass to go home from the hospital tomorrow night!... we are supposed to have dinner with him!

Praying for you guys to get better! I know how much you want to be at your brothers homecoming!

My kiddo does stuff VERY similar to your kiddos. I haven't had juice in a toy yet but I am SURE that's coming. And my floor would look EXACTLY the same if I didn't have a huge chocolate lab that eats food before it hits the floor.

That first photo had me cracking up! Yep, I can relate. :o)

The chicken taquitos look yummy!

The chicken roll-ups look great! I've always wanted to try to make those.

Laura Lee said...

Oh, those chicken taquitos look fab!! Who knew you could oven-fry them?? Not I. ;)

Even with the illness in your home, it still looks like you had a good week:-)

Shirley said...

Blessings!

Dagnabit! There are no Jack in the Box restaurants in Florida!! That salad looks so great!

Kimberly said...

ACK! Sorry I am just now getting around to commenting. It's been a busy week. :)

Your 1/23 photo has me LOL. If ever my family is snowed in here without food, we could probably survive for a few days on what's left under the couch cushions. ;)

1/27 - Hmm, our kids must be related. Only when my kiddo did that, it was sweet tea and I didn't find it for a week. By that time it had congealed and was just GROSS!

1/28 - I'm so trying that recipe!

1/29 - Hope you're feeling better.

Oh, your comment on my blog was as a "no reply" (didn't have your email) so I'll answer your question here. The trick with the eye photo is to get as close up a shot as possible, in really good indirect daylight. It's tricky, but can be done!

Your taquitos look so good. What temp did you use to bake them?
