We woke up this morning still not feeling well. Kevin actually woke up around 5:00/5:30 after being up til midnight. Yucky coughs tend to not be condusive to sleep. We've added low grade fever to the mix today as well. We decided to stay home from church today and rest and try to recover from whatever it is we have. I decided to try mixing up a few various slush recipes to get a single serving recipe that would be pts friendly and possibly help soothe a burning throat. It wasn't the best idea I've ever had, although it wasn't bad, wasn't terribly high pts and did feel alright on my throat. If I copy it down here, I'll have it in two places so that hopefully I won't lose it. :)
Strawberry-banana slush:
1/2 cup(it was actually that plus maybe 2TBS)chopped strawberries
1/3 of a banana(I put it in the freezer for half an hour to get really cold)
1TBS Country Time Pink Lemonade powder(I really could have used 1/2TBS)
enough ice to make it slushy material. Blend in blender til well, slushy.
2TBS water
If you had frozen berries and froze the banana, you would most likely need no ice but would want the water still. I am going to try a TBS of honey, I *think* next time and also play around with the fruit. Pineapple would be great with strawberries. I plan to use watermelon and strawberries, another combo taste I like. Yes, strawberries are my all time favorite fruit. :)

April 13, 2013
Just trying out various color schemes for the blog. Not a lot going on to speak of in the CO Lidh home this evening. It is Kevin's birthday and I made him yummy cupcakes from skinnytaste.com. Pineapple bliss cupcakes and they are actually pretty good. Well, if you like pineapple that is seeing how there is a 20oz crushed can in the cake part and 1/2 cup in the icing. :) He liked them and that really is all that matters, although I will mention that both Michael & Jason appeared to like them as well. :) He wanted steak so I had purchased some bacon wrapped filets to grill. Unfortunately the day became a bit too breezy to grill so we ordered online and picked up from Outback. He got an iPad mini for his birthday.
He and I both have some sort of sore throat/cough kinda thing going on which has made us both tired and not totally feeling the whole birthday thing, but he had a good day so I'm happy about that.
I can't believe that I will be starting 6th grade officially with Jason on Monday morning. I'm pretty excited about it, not gonna lie. I'm hoping he is at least *some*what excited. :) I've been looking through all the books and seeing what we'll be covering the first month or so. I suppose he is a tad excited though because he's starting in April and his peers in public school won't start until the 2nd week of August. We'll be 3 months into it at that point(we take the month of July off).
Avery amuses me greatly with her boyfriend, Blackjack next door. Actually, he amuses me, too. If he goes out and she isn't out he'll run to the fence between our homes and bark toward our house. :) She will find us and wimper and whine and run around until we let her out back. Then they run up and down the fence growling and barking at each other. Silly puppies.
We were hoping to spend Memorial Day weekend in Boulder but it is looking like we probably aren't. The hotels with availability are either crazy, stupid expensive, or look like places you would rather not stay. It is a popular and very busy weekend there. I really should have planned earlier on going and made reservations then. Live and learn, right?
And while it is only 8:30, I didn't sleep all that great last night, neither did Kevin, so coupled with not feeling well today, it's about time to hit dreamland.
