I stopped by Zazzle.com today to look at what they have- check out the hilarious shirts!

My hubs really IS a Super Dad. Up all night with an angry, teething baby? Making dinner while I work a part time evening job(and juggling 3 kids 5 and under at the same time)? Scrubbing the bathtub, my most hated job eveah? Oh yes, yes he really IS a Super Dad!

For the Love of Mothers

I've been thinking a lot lately about self image. And I've posted some about it before, but never could quite get what I wanted to say out. And then today a friend linked to this post over at Offbeatmama.

She really said it all so much more beautifully than I ever did or could. The only thing I want to add, is how I arrived at the conclusion that I am, in fact, beautiful. Not just saying it for my children's sake.

My grandma, perhaps the original Crazy Green Mommy.

Apple Sausage Quiche (recipe)

Today's quiche recipe was found on a search for freezer type things I could make ahead. That's not what I ended up doing with this, but not matter! Found on Once a Month Mom, this is also gluten free and dairy free!

Gluten Free Dairy Free Apple Sausage Quiche

All it needs is a cup of hot chocolate and an english muffin...

Slow Cooker Vegetable Casserole (recipe)

Thanks to picking up a part time retail gig, I've needed to dust off the old slow cooker and try to get things together for the family when I'm gone. One of the recipes I came across recently was the Sunday Slow Cooker: Vegetable Casserole off yumsugar.com.

Vegetable casserole served with rice and pear.

Ignore the goofy glops of pesto!

Belated Pumpkin Pictures

Sorry, I'm slow on the picture uploads! Oh well, cute pictures don't really have an expiration, right?

Princess Nina and Baby Lion Sam

Crazy Green Daddy and Angry Cupcake Annie

We went to a local church's party one night and played games, bounced, etc. Then went to our local zoo for their 'Night Eye's' walk we do every year. Even hit up the small main street area I work on briefly! All before Beggars' Night! (And in one weekend)

This year we also did a little 'switch witch' with the kids. I think it went well. We took turns picking out a few pieces to keep, put the rest back in the bag and put the bag on the porch for the switch witch to exchange for a gift. She brought a felt prince crown and a stuffed chicken. The children were happy, the parents were happy, I do believe she'll be making a visit in the future for all such other candy surplus!

Easy Butternut Squash and Ham Pasta (recipe, if you can call it that!)

You may have noticed we are sans menu plan this week. That's right, I'm flying by the seat of my pants. Or the seat of my fridge/freezer/pantry. Life happens, ick sick happens, new part time job happens, and that's why you have stuff like THIS in the pantry, my friends.

An empty jar and paltry kids' bowl of leftovers. 'Cause I forgot and this is all that was left!
