Had lots of fun this long weekend. It was our weekend to have Kenzie at our house and we made good use of it. I have found that rather than losing a daughter, I have gained one more - her roommate!
Although Ashley spent the nights at their house, she also spent a lot of time with us. I was able to borrow some books from her, and she got to meet the rest of my family via an impromptu lunch. I think my brother was suitably impressed with her level of geekiness!
We also managed to get about 10 casseroles made and frozen. We tried out a recipe for Beef and Corn casserole, curried rice and Shepherds pie. That should keep the girls fed for a few days! They are struggling with keeping their grocery bills down and to eat healthy. This cookfest was my attempt to help. That and we will probably be doing Costco trips in the future. Turns out for all Ashley's brilliance, she can't boil water without burning it. I'm making it my mission to strengthen this weakness and make a Betty Crocker out of her. Or, to use a language she may recognize "You will assimilate, resistance is futile."
