Although tonight was certainly not our most packed evening ever we did end up getting home pretty late. Logan had baseball, I had to stop and pay the mechanic for repairing Brandon's vehicle (UGH $725 later), and we had to go BACK to the mechanic's so that Brandon could actually get his vehicle. When we finally got home - through the monsoon that was pounding on our car and Lilly's singing Frank Sinatra at the top of her lungs - it was nearly 7 o'clock. And we still needed to make a trip out to the garage to feed and water Big Momma and her chicks!
Luckily I had enough coffee before we left this morning to plan for the busy evening and choose a quick and easy standby for dinner. This is one of those Hamburger Helper/Top Ramen/Frozen Pizza equivalents, though maybe just a tad more healthy. Dinner tonight? Pot Stickers, egg rolls and broccoli. The kids LOVE this dinner which makes it an even more desirable dish for me.
Potstickers and egg rolls from Costco are a saving grace on nights like these. Toss a large bunch of broccoli in the steamer and dinner is only 15 minutes away! And, shockingly enough, Lilly ate quick enough that we still get to listen to Daddy read Harry Potter tonight. (It may have been a record for her.)
I can hardly wait for dinner tomorrow.... Who can guess what we're having?
