I went to see a very close friend of mines son play a football scrimmage game. Now, I have never been a huge die hard sports fan. My personal opinion is some people when it comes to professional sports are crazy.. I have seen people so much as to get "their" team names tattooed on them.....I can not understand this concept. Unless, I personally owned a very sizable stock or part of the team you would not see me do that. I also think that the amount of money that they are paid is ridiculous, but again just my thoughts. I do enjoy sports but am just not a die hard of any of them. So, we ventured on our little road trip, me and my daughter to go see my fav boy play. They live about an hour from us, so the night before I let my daughter pack her book bag with some things. Has anyone else ever let their kids pack a bag?
I am completely amazed at how their little brains work sometimes and the things they reason and make sense of. After putting her to bed I checked out her book bag to throw in a box of crayons.....this list is the contents that were packed...
1 Tablet
1 Doc Mcstuffins stuffed doll
1 Lego chair (no Lego people though )
1 Giant size car coloring book (no crayons)
1 rubber Doc Mcstuffins ball
1 strand of "let it snow" Christmas ribbon
Kleenex (boogie conscious)
Sunblock (she is very sun conscious)
1 "Frozen" mini flashlight (it was an early afternoon game)
2 small Highlights baby books and last but not least,
1 magic wand.
In the morning I told her that I put in a small box of crayons and she thanked me. I asked if we really needed all of these things and quite frankly was told "Yes, these are all important!" Ok then, I have learned what battles to pick and this was not one to bother with. Next, she came out of the bathroom with her Paw Patrol loofah and explained how "Marshall" really needed to come. This one was a no go for Mama, and I explained how he is a bath toy- not a lets bring him to a dirty field toy and then bath with him. She wasn't happy, but I think she understood.
We packed up all of our yummy snacks and were on the way. One last thing grab the camera bag before walking out the door and we are off! The whole ride down she listened to her music and sang, didn't use anything from her bag of goodies and necessities.
Once we got there we found my girlfriend and headed to the bleachers to watch the game. I was very excited to get to see her son play. I was also happy to get some photos and hopefully with the 200 pics I snapped there would be some really good ones. My daughter did awesome hanging around for 2.5hrs. She ate every single thing we brought as if she had never been fed before, but she still did amazing. She played on her tablet a few minutes and that was it. She didn't even touch any of the other things she brought. She played on the bleachers - with pretend "floors" of a house and was more than content to go up and down the bleachers as the upstairs and downstairs, kitchen etc...
It was a great day. We all had a nice time and it's nice to see with all the gadgets and toys that, kids still use their imaginations and play in the simplest ways, which sometimes is the most fun.
Dinner this night was not as gourmet as most nights because of time etc., but I still managed to whip up a little yummy breakfast for dinner. Mine was the vegetarian option. Hubbys was the ham, and daughter was no potato.
I do try to always use amazing fresh ingredients and healthier options when I cook. So, I only used one potato to divide between me and hubby. I also rarely ever use white potato but it worked well for this. The pics don't do the meal justice.
I baked the potato in the oven. When it was done, I let it cool for about 10-15 mins and then I scooped out the insides. I put them aside. I chopped up some red onion, and a little bell pepper, and threw it into a pan with a little extra virgin. Some sea salt and pepper and let that fry up nicely, when the veggies got soft I added in the potato and a little more seasoning. Meanwhile, I made the eggs and a little cheese with them. I also chopped up some ham. When the eggs were done I mixed them with my pepper/onion concoction and scooped it all into each potato half. Back in the oven and bing done. Quick , yummy, and satisfying.
My fav big boy is in the white on the right hand side!
