Dyeing is Strange and Hard

We dyed Easter eggs today. Huzzah.

Today's blog title brought to you by this song: http://youtu.be/KiTKEztb6y4

Best face ever around the :37 second mark....

NRK Dose

As you can tell by my lack of posting, life has been busy again. Work has picked up for both of us. I'm in the middle of assisting with the Hall Director search process and MK is in the middle of officiating student room selections for next year. On top of work life, Norah had a cough towards the end of last week that progressed into a rotten (high!) fever over the whole weekend. Thankfully, after little sleep and LOTS of prayers, NRK woke up Monday morning with a very mild fever and was acting more like herself.

MK and I don't normally watch a ton of TV, but our little amount of down time lately has included NASCAR & Storage Wars.  I'm finding it very difficult to be a Kasey Kahne fan right now.  Other than his dreamy eyes, he doesn't have a whole lot going on.  Hopefully, he and his crew will get their game plan straightened out.  Our other TV entertainment, A&E's Storage Wars, follows team bidders who make a living off items obtained from storage auctions.  Think modern Antique Roadshow with some good drama.

CAN'T.STOP.WATCHING.  Pops, you'd enjoy it!

Anyways, what makes life more enjoyable (in addition to Storage Wars)?      
A healthy dose of NRK!

You're welcome.

ACTIVITY TIME!

Two gifts put to creative use -
thanks Great Grandma & Grandpa Mabon for the cookie cutters
and Great Autnie Rod for the apron.

Love. <3

I definitely wasn't adopted.  Do I look like my parents or what?!

Ta - dah!

NRK & MK often sing "Jesus Loves Me" at bedtime.  Norah received this singing bunny in the mail today.  NRK is in love.  Thanks Great Auntie Rod!  Norah had a tough time getting the bunny to work at first, but by giving the bunny CPR-like compressions, she got it to work...over...and over...and over...and over...
...Auntie, how long do you think those batteries will last, eh?

Love you all.

Arrested

If I ever get arrested, I am absolutely going to do this. I hope this guy got the charges dropped simply for his commitment to the song...





It's really worth watching the whole video... This dude is the man. "Violence is the least of my priorities..."

I like food. Any of it.

I think I've found my favorite dinner recipe (thanks, Pinterest and Better Homes & Gardens).  I had to share, especially since I'm more of baker than a cook!  Do you like chicken? And artichokes? And spinach?  If you answered yes, then you should probably make this recipe; the leftovers are even delicious.

I omitted the crushed red pepper, only because we didn't have any.  I almost omitted the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (MK dislikes tomatoes), but decided to grab some at the store.  I am so glad I did; they really added to the dish - MK even liked them! I also used skim milk, and I didn't even notice the lack of fat.

I just had a leftover serving for lunch...and I still want more....

Enjoy!
