Well, yea! We have started school and it has been really really busy. It's quite interesting when you are homeschooling a kindergarten and a 2nd grader and in the process you have a 9month old who LOVES to pull everything down off of the school shelves. He loves to do that and thinks that he is absolutely cute. The problem is- he is sooo cute!!! So we are trying to figure out a good schedule and I feel like that the days are flying by and I barely get the dishes done, laundry done, supper cooked and the house just cleaned up. So hopefully we will get on a schedule and I can get back to blogging, which I miss very much.
So since we have Labor Day coming up in a few short day, I thought that I would post a packing list.

our lunch (what was left of it)

closer look

Butter Garlic Noodles (YUM!) Butter Garlic Noodles 12 oz. egg noodles or spaghetti noodles 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter 2tsp. parsley flakes 1/2 teas. salt 1/4 teas black pepper 1/4 teas. garlic powder

Cook pasta according to pkg direction. In saucepan over low heat, add remaining ingredients.  Heat until butter is melted; stir in hot pasta. (Now I added a little more garlic powder, salt and pepper. You will just have to taste it and season it how you like it.) very yummy!

I thought that I would post a recipe on Fridays. You are hitting the weekend and if your like me and my family, our week has been crazy and it looks like the weekend is going to be the same way. I always like to do something fast and easy on Fridays. Something that doesn't take alot of time. Here is a recipe that I came up with on my own when I was a teenager. My family loves this recipe and we tend to have it quite often.
