Monday Funday

This is a really busy week for us. Lots of comings and goings, awaiting some important news, and it's Teacher Appreciation Week at Hudson's MDO, followed next week by TAW at Grace's school.

In honor of this crazy busy week, here are a bunch of random things from the past couple of days...
I'll do a post at the end of the week to share more of the teacher appreciation ideas, but to start things off today I made these "Rise & Shine" breakfast-to-go mini buckets. They LOVED them!! Sometimes it's the simplest things that make the biggest difference, isn't it?Lately I can't get enough of this combination... YUMMY!
190 cal + 8g fat...just the perfect on the go breakfast or mid-afternoon snack.
Speaking of food...last night I made Creamy Chicken Casserole for dinner and it was delish! EVERYONE in my family ate it and that's big around here!! I forgot to take a picture and I have no idea where the recipe came from...I found a copy in my recipe binder but no link or name on the paper, so if you sent this to me, let me know so I can link back to you!!

Ingredients:
3 cups cooked chicken, cut into cubes
2 cups chopped celery (I used just 1 cup)
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz. sour cream
onion powder
garlic
salt
pepper
2-3 cups crushed Ritz crackers

Instructions:
Mix together first four ingredients.
Season to taste with onion powder, gaqrlic, salt & pepper.
Spread mixture in greased casserole dish.
Cover completely with crushed Ritz crackers.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
YUM!

Saturday morning, we almost missed dance recital pictures!! Just forgot about them the night before so I didn't get to plan ahead and lay everything out. All you dance moms out there know it takes some time to get hair & make-up done and in costume!! Luckily we pulled it off. This is her self-described "cool pose" while dancing to "I like to move it, move it" from Madagascar. Silly pumpkin!The wind was bLoWiNG but I managed to snap this one too...Sweet little pumpkin!Look what I stumbled upon last week!! If you've been following along for any length of time, then you know I have a soft spot for the 3 Little Pigs {here & here}. I love this style of vintage card...it comes with a little pull-out story, just like the Goldilocks one I found last year.I think I may have a *mild* fabric obsession but I just can't help myself. I was so excited when I found more of one of my faves...South Hampton by Henry Glass. The blue is more of a true aqua than this swatch shows. LOVE!Here's a better picture...it's the bodice fabric in this sweet dress by Nelle*s.And last but certainly not least, this adorable dress by
Pretty Me. I love Angie's designs and I just can't get enough of vintage sheets!! Love, love, love it!Tonight we're trying {this} recipe. I've been trying all kinds of new recipes for my picky eaters. If you have some winners, please send them my way!! Pretty please and Thank you!

Have a great week!
