Happy Halloween and a Reminder!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

I was going back through past pics of my girls all decked out for Halloween when I stumbled upon the pictures of our youngest from 2007, she was just 14. 

I had forgotten all about that costume! I have to tell ya, she'd be happy to wear it all over again at the age of 18!! 

Have a SAFE and Happy Halloween!!!

Quick and Easy Fall Dinner~

With our crazy schedule lately, I am always looking for something quick and easy to make for dinner.  I saw this recipe in a magazine awhile back, and knew we had to give it a try.  Easy to find ingredients, quick to make, and oh so delicious!  What's not to like?

Chicken Parmesan Pizza

Ingredients:
Loaf of French Bread
Pizza Sauce
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Pre-cooked Chicken Tenders (around 6 or so), we purchase them at our local Publix deli
Italian Seasoning

Directions:
Cut french bread loaf in half.  Spread pizza sauce on both halves.  Cut up pre-cooked chicken tenders into bit size pieces.  Place on top of pizza sauce.  Cover with shredded mozzarella.  Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning.  Bake at 350 until crisp and the cheese is bubbling and a bit brown.  Slice and serve with a garden salad.

Couldn't be any easier!

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes for our younger daughter's MRI.  At her follow-up appointment her doctor said there were no changes from last spring, and unless she experienced new problems, she was cleared and wouldn't need to have them done anymore!!  She is so relieved.  She will continue to see her regular neurologist for her migraines, which are coming less and less this year, thank goodness.

We are hoping for another good report this afternoon, as she goes for another MRI for her foot/ankle injury!  Yes, my daughter likes to keep our doctors busy.  They believe she has a mid-foot sprain, but want to rule out a tendon tear.  Fingers crossed.  Or, should I say toes!

Hope everyone is having a great week.  Can't believe it's Thursday already!!

Fall Mantel~

The past few weeks have been super busy for us.  We finished up the high school volleyball season, our youngest had her one year follow up brain scan (due to a cyst and migraines she suffers), she's sported two casts on her left foot/ankle (not at the same time mind you) and is now back in a boot awaiting an MRI for that injury, tons of college applications, she is now back coaching club volleyball and is in the midst of tryouts, big sis formally accepted her job upon graduation in December, finishing up other Senior obligations for both (baby ads, senior ads, announcements, etc), we participated in our neighborhood garage sale...

Okay, I don't know about you but I am exhausted just reading all of that.  I am ready to have all of that behind us, and just concentrate on enjoying time together as a family.  The girls are growing up waaay too fast.

I finally got around to decorating our fall mantel with the pumpkins and gourds we picked out on our trip to the pumpkin farm a couple weekends ago.  I have kept most of our fall decor to our family room.  I am not big on Halloween decorations now that our girls are older.  I like something that will last us through to Thanksgiving.

Today I have a dentist appointment, and then have to take our youngest for her MRI results...so we are still running!

Hope everyone is having a great week!!
