Naughty OR Nice?

 

The boys were excited for this picture until Brittany actually started pulling those lights!
 
I hope everyone else is enjoying some family time this Christmas season.

A day in the life: Cotton Planting

Image
It's 10:54pm on a Tuesday.  Doug is still planting away at the field.  My dedicated, hard working, passionate farmer has been known to log some long days.  The past few weeks I realize just how often.  We miss him when he's not home for supper with us. My eyes grow weary waiting on him to get home safely.  The kids ask when Daddy will be home. I say, I'm not sure and Brittany comments, "That means late".   The point is this.  We realize the importance of his passion and dedication, but the outside world sometimes does not.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but these wraps have a green hue to them.  These are spinach wraps!  I found them at Sams.  They also have several different types - my favs are these and the whole wheat ones or the herb ones.  I use my panini grill but you could easily do these in a skillet.  Just sprinkle your favorite cheese (I use mozzarella), add spinach leaves, your favorite meat (I use turkey or shredded chicken), and then sprinkle a little more cheese to the top.  The wraps are pretty big so I put all the ingredients on one side and fold over.  I use the cheese as a gluing agent, but you could substitute for a dressing or sauce.  Doug and the kids like them with BBQ sauce. I have also substituted spina...
