Today was a pretty low key day. I spent the
day picking up and hanging out with the girls. Christian spent the day hanging
out Christmas lights outside with his friend from work, Lorenzo. The weather
was pretty nice today, so we figured why not take advantage, and get the lights
up now. It took them all day, but it’s done! Every year we add little bit more
to our display – we buy some stuff on sale after Christmas. I LOVE Christmas
lights, I can’t wait until our whole house is decked out!
The girls were pretty interesting today,
they are far too smart for their own good. Here are a few examples, just from
today:
Me: “Olivia, weren't you supposed to turn
the light in the playroom off?”
Olivia: “Well, yes. But, then I'd miss the movie”
(we started watching Tangled).
Me: enjoying some ice cream.
Amelia: “Mom, you gonna eat that?” as she dips
her finger in my bowl.
Me: put a lock code on the iPad
Olivia: “This thing doesn't work anymore”.
Me: “Oh shoot, that's too bad”
Olivia: “Come on mom, you know what to do”.
Me: “Amelia, it’s bedtime, should we go to your bed?”
Amelia: “No, I'm good here”.
Ugh, they crack me
up, and drive me nuts at the same time!
After the lights extravaganza and
dinner, Christian and Lorenzo went out to grab a couple beers. I watched some
TV an did a little online shopping. I ordered some updated photo prints for the
house, I bought tickets to see Twilight on Thursday and ordered some Christmas
gifts for the girls. Busy night!
Here are a couple shots I got today. The girls being cute, and daddy breaking up fights. Good times!
Pulled Pork Sandwiches:
Ingredients:
2-2½ lb Pork Butt
½ a Bottle of BBQ Sauce
1 Can of Diet Pepsi
Seasoning Salt
Buns
Sides:
Tater Tots
Mixed Fruit
Directions:
Generously coat pork with seasoning
salt. Place in the crockpot and pour the pop and BBQ sauce over it. Cover, and cook
on low for 4-5 hours. The larger the meat, the longer the cooking time. After 4
hours or so, shred the meat with 2 forks, and return to crockpot to cook in the
juices.
