so my new calling is nursery assistant. not bad. today was my first sunday staying in nursery the whole time, and it wasn't that bad. i mean, i would probably rather listen to talks given in relief society and pay attention in gospel doctrine, but nursery today wasn't bad... although i have nothing to compare it to... the only problems i am going to have is 1. finding someone to watch daniel during nursery 2. kathryn is always catching one cold after the other, and sick kids aren't supposed to be in nursery... but i think by next sunday this will all be worked out. kathryn's cold won't be contagious next week, and john should be there to take daniel.
so besides the fact that excluding john we are all sick... kids have green and yellow runny noses, and i hack up green and yellow throughout the day...i guess we're doing pretty good. oh, but the highlight of my day...every time daniel would cry, i'd pick him up and he'd spit up all over me! you'd think i would have caught on after oh, the 4th time...but no...however one of the times, he decided to give me a break, and instead spewed all over the laptop! GOOD thing it was closed!!!! but this spit up thing is really getting old...he needs to just grow out of it already.
but i have a question for all of you out there! i need some new ideas for meals! it seems like we keep circling around the same 4 or so meals: spaghetti, gumbo, stir-fry (frozen), and red beans and rice. so what are some quick meal ideas??? i hate it when i feel like, "didn't we have this 2 days ago!"

meal ideas: hamburgers and mac-n-cheese (cause you can make it fast and it's relatively cheap), chicken and cheese quesodillas (cause bren is picky and eats only cheese in his and it's not hard to comply), chicken-n-dumplings.
Nursery...you have an amazing new book to teach lessons out of now. if they aren't doing that in your ward, try to push to start. i mean, the lessons are perfect for little kids! BTW, what ward are you in?
i'm in the Denham 2nd ward. same as Jeni =)
Mini pizza's...kids love to help make dough, roll it and put their own toppings on it. My kids love breakfast...egg omlettes, waffles or pancakes with fruit...especially chocolate chip pancakes...tip..make pancakes with applesauce instead of oil like Mom used to do..it's more nutricious. Also pasta salads or salads...kids aren't into the big salad thing but they like the ingredients separated on a plate...love to dip cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots etc... and bite sized chicken, ham, roast beef, bacon, or pepperoni is a big hit!...Also check out Jenn's recipe blog...she has some good one's too...my kids love the pineapple salsa! And oldie but a goodie...ramen noodles is always a quickie that kids love...add cheese, or make meatballs instead of spaghetti...make it chinese style, etc...
