Our Favorite Family Meals

A dish we call "Grandpa's Chicken" would top the list...

with garlic mashers and our standard spinach salad and favorite Strawberry viniagrette

 Kabobs!

and corn on the cob 😋

Navajo Tacos

Sunday night chocolate chip cookies or Dad's Ovaltine malts... or both if we're lucky 🍀

Mahdi likes to cook authentic Afghanian food and makes dinner for us occasionally. This dish is Kabuli Palaw

But my very favorite is Mahdi's Kokosabzy veggie cakes

He saw me wrap up some chicken for the freezer, grabbed a marker and labeled it for me 😂

Getty's Fall, 2016

Getty kinda flipped out that I was wearing a choker like the "Goth" kids at his school.

 

I was sure to text him photos of me and my choker whenever possible :)

No details, but I'll note that we made a deal with the devil, and it backfired (as all dealings do with demons)... Getty's been crazy hard since Thanksgiving week.

(Getty's face and Rob's face lately)

But I'll end on this note—

BIG NEWS...

This is Getty's completed Eagle Project #canyoubelieveit 🎉🎉🎉

Now he just has to do all the paperwork... 😂😭

Scary Sunday

Cam left his homework packet til the last minute, 

so he was NOT HAPPY about having to put off the pumpkin carving...

... he cooled off on the porch

Checking in with Cam...

Halloweeeeeeen 2016

Ran errands like this... nbd

Spooky Saturday

137 kiddos, 2 hours, and 178 donuts later.... Scary costumes failed... the kids kept coming 😂😱 Halloween ward party, Year 3 #downtoascience #creativeusesforaziptie

MK texted from work...

Elementary School parade with Granny

This was Cam's last minute "daytime" costume

....because this was Cy's last minute costume

(Our half-done new doors in the background. I've since changed my mind four times on what color to paint them, changed the new glass, changed the new doorknobs, changed the new transom... ya)

I spy a Mahdi...

Getty still finds a way to go trick or treating...

Cam's night time costume...

Rob lit the candles...

... and played scary music, and we 

handed out candy all night.

 

 Not sure why but I LOVE Halloween!
