Two things I learned about the start of this school year:
1) Stay with the known. I made Vail her choice of dinner for the night before school. Meatballs and fuscilli. Yum. Made meatballs. V didn't like them because you could see the bread it them. She likes the grocery store ones I apparently have to pay $10 for when I can make them for less than $10 and produce 4x the number. Oh well. Next time, maybe I'll have enough time to cook them in sauce long enough for her to not see the whiteness of the bread.
Plus, I tried to make a new recipe for V. A huge chocolate chip cookie. I checked three blogs and while I am sure that the cookie was wonderful for all of the people who raved about it, I learned the hard way at 9pm on the night before school that it was too much batter for my pizza stone and it spilled all over my oven. Everywhere. Burning sugar dripping from the rack. Disaster. I ended up crumbled on the kitchen floor crying and Chris ran out to purchase more sugar and chocolate chips b/c I had used up all we had.
The next afternoon, after a four hour oven clean in 90 degree weather, I made my old standby of amazing chocolate chip cookies and Vail was thrilled. She never knew about the big cookie so nothing was lost.
Stick with what I know.
2) No matter how many pairs of shoes I buy, I will always need more for the girls. Seriously - I feel like my house is a Build-a-Lalaloopsy-Shoe Storage Facility. And whenever I turn around, they are grown out of shoes I just purchased. Thankfully, I love shoes. Haha.
