cheesy chicken-bacon-avocado quesadillas

These were on the menu tonight and the kids put them on their "all-the-time" list (minus the avocado).  I don't think they minded the taste of the avocado (they both like guacamole if I remember right), but the mushy texture is what made them get the forks out and start digging all the "green stuff" out.

You can find the recipe here at Kevin and Amanda.  I changed it just a bit cause we had cooked chicken I pulled out of the freezer and we only use turkey bacon so we cooked that in the microwave and had no bacon drippings (plus I don't think turkey bacon would make much "drippings").  I would imagine that the chicken would be even yummier cooked in the bacon drippings, though! 

Anyway, we will definitely make these again!

lost tooth

His first loose tooth.  His teacher pulled it right before he left school Thursday.  That's what he wanted - her to pull it.  She has quite the reputation for pulling teeth.  I guess you acquire that as a kindergarten teacher.  He was so excited!  He got to go to the nurse and get this cool treasure box to keep his tooth in until he got home.  Again, that's what he wanted.  The Tooth Fairy brought him $5, which he immediately put into his Disney money envelope.  The Tooth Fairy brings extra money for first teeth, you know.

i spy

a sign of spring in our front yard.

And I am so excited about it because

1) This is the first time I've had any luck with perennials sprouting up the second year
2) I'm so ready for a color besides gray and white, for warm weather, for new growth

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, Ethan requested Green Eggs for breakfast with green milk (we're not ham-for-breakfast type of people at our house, so we also had bacon - not green). 

It was crazy "Who Hair" day at school, also in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday.  We almost had a meltdown this morning when we couldn't find this crazy white wig that Elliott had his heart set on wearing for the occasion.  Lucky for everyone, it was found deep down in the costume box.

And this guy pretty much has "who hair" every day.  Come to mention it, he usually wears "who socks" too.  Maybe he really is a "Who".   Hmmmmm....
