Week in review... ...more of the same.

Reporting on last week, I feel like I could just say 'dido' and it would suffice. Although it may not be as exciting to write about, it is rather nice when there is some routine to life. With three more weeks left in school for Bentley, I'm sure this won't last long.
Ali must have a thing with hats lately. Here she is in the tub with another creative head piece.














On Monday we had a picturesque chicken broccoli braid. I feel that I really need to give credit where credit is due. I blogged about it a while back but failed to mention its origin. My friend, Lynae, brought us dinner after I had Ali. It was one of those meals that you have to get the recipe. I've had some requests for the recipe myself, so I've included it below.
Thanks Lynae. Every time I make this I think of you.

• 2 cups diced, cooked chicken meat
• 1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 egg white, beaten

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).
2. In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt, almonds and onion.
3. Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.
4. Brush braided dough with the egg white. Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tuesday Bentley had his first soccer game. We forgot our camera (bad mom), but will definitely be getting some shots in the future.

Wednesday was the exception to the routine. We were gone all day. We made it to story hour and to pick up Bentley. Then, I had an orthodontist appointment. It is an hour away, so we left right after getting Bentley, stopped at Cosco, made it to the appointment, dropped by WallyWorld, and picked up dinner on the way home. As I was transferring pictures I found this one that apparently Bentley took while I was in the hot seat. Three kids with mom in the chair always makes for an interesting appointment. Luckily the staff are very patient, and I'm not below bribing the kids to be well behaved.














Thursday we had snow and Bentley's soccer game got canceled, so still no pictures.

Then on Friday we had our weekly pizza night. The kids are now insistent that they make their own pizzas. It is definitely something they look forward to. For the second time Bentley ate the entire thing!































Saturday we were able to go SLC for the wedding of my cousin Camille. It was a beautiful wedding, and a really fun day. ...but that is a post in and of itself. :)
