A Cookie Cutter Diva's Life

Well I'm sure I've messed it up some and I don't know all the starting basics but I did the best I could and started our first garden with some veggies today with the kids!! We also planted some flowers behind my bedroom window where it was bare!

ingredients
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1-1/2 cups water
Dash pepper
8 ounces spiral pasta, cooked and drained
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the beans, soup, tomato sauce, beans, bouillon, water and pepper. Add cooked noodles and beef; heat through. If desired, garnish with Parmesan cheese. Yield: 4-6 servings

I didn't get a lot of pictures of this one because some how the kids all wound up in their underwear lol so the one I got of the boys was probably the only safe one to post lol
for summer fun today we did a little experiment which to me was an epic fail but they still absolutely loved it!
we had a jello war! The idea was to fill up the pool full of jello for them to play in but all the jello I made was still not enough but was still exciting for them to have a jello war with and they loved it!

then the boys got some hair cuts since they were so long over due and my daughter convinced me to finally put hot pink high lights in her hair which my husband is not oh so thrilled about but it was fun haha

they also finished up their last night of Vacation Bible School and had a blast this week and ended with some fun ice cream snacks!

Today we had fun painting we home made finger paints and other paints that we got from friends who did a barter with us with their home made items for some clothes we had to get rid of! Now if you're interested in making some simple fun and easy homemade paint it's really easy and here is a recipe!!
Supplies:
Flour
Sugar
Salt
Food coloring
Plastic cups
Add 2 T of sugar into a sauce pan.
Add 1/3 cup of flour to the saucepan as well
Mix with 2 cups of water and whisk until smooth. Turn on the heat and stir continually until the mixture thickens
Pour into your plastic cups equally. You'll one cup for every color of paint you'd like to make.
Mix in a couple drops of food coloring and stir until completely dissolved. Let cool completely before allowing your little toddler to stick their fingers in and get dirty!

Today was $.50 movie day! So we headed off to the local theater to enjoy

Today was lots of fun at the pool! We had a drs appointment and they put my oldest on a steroid inhaler twice a day to hopefully help things with him. So between that and the next appointment we enjoyed the pool and even more so since it was so early it was completely empty!

Today the kids started Vacation Bible School for the week! They had a blast!! Met a lot of new friends, played some great fun games and told me all about this volcano that irrupted with meat sauce?? I didn't get to see that in action but it looked pretty crazy lol
I also scored some free tickets to go see Tim McGraw and Kenney Chesney in Kansas City! My friend and I had a blast and enjoyed all of the eye candy hehe
