Crazy... Crazy Weekends....

Weekends always seem to be jammed packed and not enough hours in the day! For some reason it was almost 65 degrees out on Saturday... Did I mention we are in New England... It should be freezing out with snow on the ground. But.. Well... Something is screwy and we had an absolutely beautiful day. So after naps and lunch.. The fam took a nice long hike... In terms of long... I mean long enough for a two year old to walk the whole thing without being picked up... about and hour and a half. It knocked the kids and the puppy out!

Sunday's usually end up being throw the kids in the car and see how many things we can get done in one afternoon. Tiring... Yes... But we need to do it. Today's quest, besides the usual stop to Target to get everything, was a hunt for a Juicer. Saturday night Kamal and I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead... A wonderful documentary about a man who...well..was Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead... He turned to juicing, veggies and fruits! In a matter of months his whole life turned around and he became better. Totally recommend the documentary. Right now it is streaming on NetFlix .. So you should totally check it out.

What I am getting at is is that we want to start juicing.. Especially to get more veggies into the kids! If we can hide it in a drink.... Well that works for me! When our new Breville Juicer arrives... We will start experimenting and I will give out the kid approved recipes!

When the day has flown by and it is really late for dinner, we turn to kid friendly meals... Tonight consisted of quesadillas filled with sharp cheddar cheese and left over chicken, carrots on the side.... Then for those still hungry.. Tortillas filled with Hummus and pickles... Yes you heard me right ...Hummus and pickles... The combo is amazing!!!
