Life Adventures for Miles

Today was a day out (sorta). The normal morning of toy play, screens, and books, though the husband came home early so the afternoon was out and about town. The goal was to end our day with pizza out and grocery shopping, however, we left too early for our window shopping AND our errands so instead we just played and looked at our shops, then went home for pizza delivery, forgoing the food shopping altogether.  The shopping plaza strip we ventured into today had stores from sports, to furniture/snacks, to computers/electronics. We got fruit snacks and St. Patrick "snowball" cakes. We practiced our putting skills checked out the new selection of phones.

Crafting with yarn this week: To make a popcorn stitch is to several things. 1) make a foundation chain, 2) chain one and single crochet (USA) 3) link into chain one 4) single crochet, 5) repeat step 4 with 3-5 rounds, this will result in looking like a ball, repeat process until the project is done. Crafting with food this week: Jambalaya: 1) using a pot (or instapot) poor rice pouch in and cover with water to just above the rice 2) chop choice of meat and add to pot 3)Boil and let simmer till rice is soft 4) add veggies (we used frozen so they are sized appropriately already) when rice and meat are almost cooked through Cook time: boil 10-15 minutes, simmer 30-45 minutes Pasta: 1) boil water into a pot and add noodles, 2) add chopped meat (if browning brown meat first) 3) add veggies (we added bell peppers towards the end to keep the crunch) 4) drain when fully cooked (noodles are soft but not mushy, meat is cooked through) Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Today's adventure was a most normal adventure indeed! Screens, books, toys, and imagination. We went to the doctor, played house (cleaned, cooked, groomed), learned at school, and had many a games such as: hide-and-seek and cross ways (in which we time bearhugs). We also had a singing contest and dance party. Sausages for dinner and starting our new routine up again, the dreaded (but really fun) bubble bath!
