This is a recipe from the June 2009 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I made it a couple of times and had forgotten about the recipe until my sister in law Kate decided to serve it at Easter lunch. It is sooooo good! Even my picky 12 year old likes it!
Cool As A Cuke Lemonade
1 English Cucumber, coarsely chopped
2 12 oz cans frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
10 cups water
In blender, combine cucumber and 1 can lemonade concentrate; blend until almost smooth. Transfer to serving container. Stir in remaining lemonade concentrate and water. Cover; chill up to 24 hours.
Stir before serving. Serve over ice. Makes 12 servings.
Enjoy!

The Sweetest Thing
Lily said the sweetest thing to her Daddy and I the other day. Rick and I were sharing an embrace in the kitchen when Lily pushes between us and says "I wanna be loved too!" I love that kid!

Where Have I Been?
Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I have been feeling overwhelmed and the blog has suffered.
We have had sickness - strep, ear infections, fevers, coughs, etc. Everything but vomit (!) and everyone was affected.
My dad had an accident at work and spent over a week in the hospital.
We put our house on the market and put a contract on one we saw back in December. I have spent more time decluttering, clearing out, throwing away, straightening and cleaning than ever before. Funny thing is that I am LOVING it. I have never been a "good" housekeeper, but this has forced me to change. I have found that without all the unnecessary stuff hanging around, it frees me up to enjoy more things. Like reading, taking walks, cooking, playing with the kids and crafting - all things that I would put off until I had more time.
I will try to post a little more often. Thanks for hanging in there!

Happy Dance and a Happy Birthday
Today the kids are back in school!!! Do you know how impossible it is to get anything done when there are kids everywhere? This week has been amazingly crazy - the kids were out of school 1/2 a day Monday and then all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - all due to snow and ice. Thank you Lord - I have had enough - can we please get Spring going?
Seven years ago today, our Lily was born. What a treasure she is! If you know her, you know that love and joy bubble up out of her. She loves God, she loves to sing and she loves to hug. Happy birthday sweetie!

Yet ANOTHER Snow Day...
Here we are - the first day of February and we have almost used all of our snow days! We are under a "Blizzard Warning" with a forecast of 12+ inches. So, what's a mom to do today (and probably tomorrow) with a house full of kids?
- Make Banana Bread
- Do laundry
- Pray the kids sleep late :-)
- Force the kids to do the homework they brought home
- Get crafty and work on these homemade Valentines from Family Fun and maybe lots of these for me and the girls to wear
