Today was our first day back at school after winter break. We got off to a slow start. We did make it to the library and checked out a huge pile of books. And Violet got 2 thank you cards written. And an e-mail to her grandpa to see if he'd buy some Girl Scout cookies. We started in on our readings for Texas, our next state in geography. Lots of picture books about armadillos and cowboys. We don't do our states in much depth. We go for a flavor of the states instead. Speaking of flavors, I'm thinking for a Texas state project she'll have to cook some chili later this week.
But that was about it that I can call school related. She did paint the craft set that her best friend Red gave her for Christmas. It is several little pieces with flowers and butterflies on them: a picture frame, a mobile and a jewelry box. She worked on that all evening after dinner.
Well, there's always tomorrow.
Mr. Incredible should finally be home soon. He left at 5 am this morning. It is now after 10 pm. He had horrible computer issues at work again. He thinks he'll be able to work from home tomorrow. As long as the servers hold out overnight.
I did get a bunch of stuff thrown out this morning from the pantry. There's still more to go through. I'll do some more later in the week. And I still need to tackle those spices.

Mice? EEK!
Okay, that was a delayed reaction. i got distracted by cookies. ;o)
A slow start is better than no start at all. Other Texas recipes would be some homemade salsa, homemade tortillas, or even some delicious nachos - although those are more Tex-Mex than authentic Texan recipes.
But they are yummy!
Must be dinner time!
