So I got this can of stuff I wont tell who sent it to me.   So I took some Boneless, Skinless Thighs and I heated a pan and put some EVOO and seasoned the chicken.  I placed them top side down, I could tell which side was the out side and which was inside.  I grilled it in a pan and it smelled ohhh sooo good!!  While these were cooking hubby and I cut onion and potatoes, and after the meat was cooked enough I removed from pan and placed on a cooling rack.  I added 2 tablespoons of butter to pan and kinda deglazed it with butter, added 1 heaping tablespoon of flour and let it simmer stirring constantly.  I added milk and stirred more till fully mixed, it cooked until it was incorporated totally.   I was out of chicken broth so I had to use some cream of chicken soup and  half of chicken bullion cube and let simmer more.  I then sliced chicken and added it and onion and potatoes to the broth as well as some parmasan cheese.  it tastes lovely mmmmm I’m gonna add some carrots and fresh chopped spinach as well to cook in it at the end.  I will add pictures after its all done!

Ok change that because I just added some extra’s that I didnt plan on adding but I figured before the fresh mushrooms go bad I’ll use them to, I used mandolin to slice them super thin and i heated up some butter and EVOO and put some green and red peppers and onions plus some mushrooms and broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and whatever else is in that bag of broccoli andy i cooked it all in butter for a few minutes and then I added it to soup and julianned the spinach and added that plus a half of a bag of pizza cheese orange and white mix, and more parmasan and its cooking a little more and its done!

ohh and it tastes sooo good!!

Day two of reading

Leo was very, very against reading today, I ended up feeling very frustrated myself. He was full of attitude and just dead set against it. I let him go play since he is obviously not even trying right now. We will try again tomorrow, I have high hopes, or maybe I’ll just give him a lil break for this week and just do math. I dont know we’ll see :)

I love this kid!!

Cakes & Cupcakes and other goodies I have made through out the last couple years.

We are now working on Learning to read and this will be fun.  He loves doing the work sometimes and I hope over the next 20 lessons he can get it down.  I’m going to be working one lesson per week, unless he gets it faster than normal, then I’ll change it.  We are starting here ReadingLessons.com I have saved the PDF Files and printed the first couple lessons.  I ran out of paper ugh…………….  We shall get some though or I’ll use loose leaf paper lol :)~ compromise.

We home school our son, we do this using many options available to us.  No I’m not a graduate I may not be perfect in grammar.  However, the internet opens a wide amount of available options from real person teaching to pre-made work and things I have made (interactive and non).  Our son he is very smart, this is his second year of actually learning his basics of pre-k and k.  He also has a noted learning disability so we take a different approach on things.  When he’s tired of doing the work or appears bored we stop.  I will sometimes try several times a day, then other days once and that is it.  Just depends on how our boy is feeling or acting that day.

When it comes to his ABC’s, he really has a hard time remembering them.  His numbers are a different story, he is very smart and remembers them.  He can add, subtract, count to 100+, he can count by 10’s to 10,000.  I was flabbergasted when I heard him do this, I didn’t teach him that high (10,000) but he could do it.  He makes me smile and very proud.  He had a hard beginning being born 2 months early at 30 weeks, weighing in at a whole 3lbs 10oz, my little miracle!! I knew while I was pregnant I wouldn’t ever put him in public schools! I just couldn’t do it, how could I subject him to that, knowing how horrible my public schooling experiences were (not to mention Detroit Public Schools Teaches you NOTHING, even the teachers lied on students there).
