Works of Art
Sometimes I think kids' art looks kind of creepy.
But sometimes I think it looks pretty cool.
Katelyn drew/painted these for me while I was getting ready this morning. On one side was the finger-faces, and the other side was the watercolor. She did it all on her own. She even set up her own paints. I am proud of her.

Three-Bean Soup
Katelyn chose our dinner tonight. And when she decided that she only wanted to eat the garlic bread and not the soup, we used last week's nail polish trick again. And it worked like a charm...again. I'll post the recipe, but first I'll post the reasons why it is a good one.
1. yummy
2. cheap
3. healthy
4. filling
5. easy
6. fast
Are you sold on it yet? Here it is:
Three-Bean Soup
1 tbsp EVOO
1 small onion (yellow is good), chopped
2 (or more) carrots, diced
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, including liquid
salt and pepper
1 15.5 oz can chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1 15.5 oz can cannelloni beans (aka white beans), rinsed and drained
1 15.5 oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over med-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until tender, about 5 min.
Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, 2 cups water, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper and bring to a boil. Add the chickpeas and beans and cook until heated through, about 3 min.
Done.
We like to eat it with garlic french bread.

Modern Day Miracles
For anyone who refuses to believe in modern day miracles, get a load of this. Last week Zachary cut two new teeth in one night...And he didn't even wake up! If that's not a miracle then I don't know what is.
