The Runaway Dinner by Allan Ahlberg
I had a lousy day on Friday. Reading this book to my kids had me laughing out loud at the library…(would that be LOLAL in web speak?) It totally brightened my day when it really needed brightening.
I think I may have mentioned once or twice before on this blog that last school year we started (and love) the ARTistic Pursuits curriculum for our art classes. Well, one of the lessons was “Artists Show Their Work,” so this past weekend, that’s just what we did!
This is a delicious BBQ Beans recipe I received from a friend years ago. It’s super easy, but it tastes like you slaved all afternoon. These beans make a great potluck side dish. I’ve made a couple of changes/additions, which I’ve noted in the recipe.
Our fourth was quite fun. We all picnicked at my in-laws where much meat, salads and other yummy sides were consumed. My favorites? Dad-in-Law’s Kielbasa and my Mom-in-Law’s Fried Rice. The kids ran around like crazy-heads for a while, then I corralled them for some crafty time (visors and beads).
