Boxes, Boxes Everywhere

This morning we told Parker that her new princess bed was delivered last night. She followed with "oh mommy, now am I a REAL princess?" Um, well- yes! of course you are. Her princess bed is really just a daybed that we have been selling to her as a "princess" bed so that she'll be super excited about moving into a new room and giving New Baby her old one. So Far, So Good. As soon as the room is put together, I'll post a pic. The walls are pink- Very Princess! The furniture boxes are huge and heavy and I don't see how Matt is going to get these moved around. Or how in the world that we are going to get these things assembled. I will definitely try to help but I have a sneaking feeling that Matt will chase me out of the room to work alone. hehe. Tonight I made Jambalaya in my CrockPot. I put it on at lunch today and then just added the shrimp and rice when I got home. It was a hit! Matt said that he really liked it and now we still have enough to have some for leftovers and add some to the freezer for a quick and easy meal another day. This is my second slow cooker meal that I have made in the past couple of weeks. I'm trying to do at least one CrockPot meal during the week b/c it feeds us forever and makes for a great meal for another night down the road. Last time, I made Chicken and Dumplings and they were great too! I'm sure with my capability of burning cookies and who knows what else that I will have a disaster before long, but keep your fingers crossed. :) Parker loves putting together puzzles and tonight was no different. At night,we usually end up reading books, playing the Memory game, or putting together puzzles. Let me tell you-- she is only two-- well almost three-- but she can play a mean game of Memory. She is good!! Although sometimes we have to remind her not to cheat, which she calls "cheek." When she wins, which is often, she'll say "and I not even cheek!!" obviously beaming with pride as she stacks up "her pile." Tonight was a puzzle night and she put together a 25 piece Winnie the Pooh puzzle. A genius in the making!! :)
