When my kids were little they got those several times a year and me and the husband never caught them until a few years ago.

Honestly, if there is one dinner that gets made too much around here it's stir fry because its easy and stress free, like mac & cheese! Hubby and I don't mind, but I think the kids don't care too much for all that veggie goodness, they just pick the meat out if there is meat in there LOLErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-76208704632178171632012-02-01T14:25:50.354-05:002012-02-01T14:25:50.354-05:00wait... why is it in pink?

Mr. Granny has piled all the patio furniture in there, and thrown a couple of garden hoses on the floor (why did I bother installing hose hangers?). I tried to get to some flats yesterday, and had to take a rake to reach up and pull them off the shelf. Thankfully they are still in one piece. It's so annoying when I cannot find nor reach anything that I need.
