Happy birthday redfox!

I am making vegetable beef barley soup and homemade breadsticks for dinner. It is using up a lot of veggies I had on hand. Lunch was pasta with sautéed tomatoes and olives. Cheap and easy and all the kids liked it. I also used up half a bag of frozen mangoes in a strawberry mango smoothie. Delicious!

Tonight we're having family movie night with popcorn. Good FFF.

James had fun having his buddy over to play today. My friend's son was funny. He kept telling me "daddy go to work to make bill money."

I found a recipe I want to try for a barley risotto. It would be very inexpensive.

I also found some free lesson plans on manners. I am using the royal wedding as a starting point for that conversation.
