About 2054 Miles

In February 2007, my husband and I packed up all our belongings, drove 2054 miles and moved from California to Iowa. This blog is about my and my husband's adventures, which mainly now feature our two boys- 5 year old Rex and 3 year old Wyatt.

Rub A Dub Dub

Last night was Rex's first time in the big tub for bath time.



We had washed him in the little tub which sat in the big tub before but this was the first time ever just being in the big tub by itself. Oh boy, did he love to splash the water! Rob was washing him so he got almost as wet as Rex, I think. We don't have so many new experiences these days so it is kind of funny when we do- funny to see how awkward we all are at it! I remember giving him the first baths in the baby tub and wow, it did not go so well. I'm sure we will all get better at bath time in the big tub.

It is snowing again today. Apparently we want to make sure we not only pass the snowfall record for the season but that we obliterate it. Awesome. The good thing about snow is that forces me to make a menu up for several days and do my grocery shopping accordingly. We tend to eat better when this happens. On Wednesday we had buttermilk "fried" chicken with herbs, mashed potatoes, salad and homemade applesauce cake. The chicken was good but it was more like do-it-yourself shake and bake and not so much like fried chicken. Last night I made carne asada tacos which turned out really good, but not quite like I picture carne asada to be. I think the soy sauce in the marinade was what kind of threw it off for me. It was actually warm enough that we were able to grill the meat on the bbq which was great. One of Rob's friends makes the best carne asada I've ever had so we're going to find out how he makes them and try that next time instead. Tomorrow night I am planning on making french dip sandwiches. I've used the recipe I linked to before and it was kind of blah, I thought. I'm going to give it another try though and incorporate some of the ideas people left in the comment section and hopefully that will give it some more flavor. Hopefully we will be able to get around again good enough on Sunday to get more groceries because I am out of plans and supplies after tomorrow!
