Thank Goodness for summer...the kids have been a huge help. My new rule...? "If you walk past a Lily Mess Stop to Bless" ...in other words...CLEAN IT UP!
The other day I dropped Mini Me off at a party ..just down the street mind you. I was gone all of 45 mins b/c they had a little baby and I couldn't keep my hands off him!! When I came home.....dear hubs was asleep on the couch and Lily had emptied the pantry....and this is what I found by hubs...Blackmail photo
The other morning I went to unload the dishes....got called away...(sidetracked) and this is what I found upon my return....
This morning I had a cup of coffee....and you know how it is with Mom's and coffee right? You put it down and have to reheat it 3 times to get a cup! I hear the words "OHHH Yummm Toffee" I realize she means coffee and run in to see this...
(never fear I drink decaf and so much creamer it's not funny)
Ok Ladies....tonight on the menu? Grilled Chicken, Black Bean and Corn Salsa and Garlic Mashed Potatoes!
My mother couldn't stop eating the salsa....I had to take it away so we'd have it for dinner still.
I usually double it and triple it when I take it to a party!
Black Bean and Corn Salsa
1 15oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
1/2 chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
8 green onions (chopped)
3 tbs lime juice
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
and my add....1/2 cup El Fenix Salsa (it makes this rock)
Stir together and serve!

I like your little Lily! She seems like quite the adventurer!! I love it! :)
LOL! This is just too funny! I really like this kid, hehe. I agree with the first comment -- totally made my night!
Totally know where you are coming from. Since GG began crawling and now that she's walking I hardly sit down during the day! The girl is wearin' me OUT! Hope you have a terrific weekend, Laura!

I feel you here, and I only have one! Oh my word, I can't keep my house straightened for nothing. Clean, yes, but not straightened. If that beautiful dining table were in my house, it would have stuff all over it. At least yours is cleared off! ;)
Yum laura I just made that and its delicious! And that photo of your hubby is hilarious! On your lil one! The dishwasher was a good one too
Oh, I love her! She and my Henry would make a nice pair. He also drinks coffee if it's left around and LOVES to climb in the dishwasher... :) Too funny!
haha i loveee the donut shot haha. that seriously cracked me up and is totally something my sophia would do. same with the dishes. what is it with babies and the dishwasher?? she is fascinated by it. oh and that recipe sounds soo good. i might have to make that up next time we grill out chicken.sounds perfect with it.
Ha Ha, she is cute! My lil guy does the same thing with dishwasher. One day he will learn to hate to unload the dishwasher just like I do lol
That donut picture is awesome! When you walked in, did you even wonder just a litte if your hubs was blaming your child for it? Hahaha.
Oh man! She is busy isn't she?! My parents used to put bells on my little sisters shoes because she just like Lily!
Hope y'all have a great Father's Day!
I have said so many times to my girls, especially my younger one, "IT'S A GOOD THING YOU'RE CUTE!" Looks like you might say that too! ;-)
