Weird dreams, country cooking, and warm days

I had a strange dream last night. Maybe I've been watching too much HGTV but I had a dream about rearranging my living room. Now I KNOW that my couch will not fit in my living room any other way...believe me I tried when we first got it. When we bought this couch the plan was to put it against the opposite wall and move the TV but when the couch arrived...it was too big to fit any other way than the way it sits now. (Have I mentioned how ready I am to move and get a nice house!!!!) But in my dream it worked...the couch was sitting in the one way that I had never tried...so I woke up determined to change the living room. Well this couch isn't exactly light weight but I did it. I push and scooted all three pieces until I had it the way it was in my dream...well it didn't work. There was barely any room to walk. So I moved it back to the way it was. The good thing about this whole deal was that I did some major cleaning. The boys found toys under the couch that they had completely forgotten they had and I vacuumed crumbs that have probably been there since Aaron left...gross!!!! At least now I can say the living room has really had a deep cleaning!

We headed off to the grocery store and picked up a few more things for Aaron. He's going to have some good food once these boxes get to him. I bought him a small crock pot so I hoping that he will be able to pour in one of his canned soups in the morning and then have a hot meal waiting on him when he comes home!

When we got home I got started cooking a yummy dinner. There is nothing better than country cooking and I've been missing Grandmother's cooking for far to long. Mine just never tastes as good as hers. I did manage to cook a pretty tasty meal tonight. We had country fried steak, fried squash, turnip greens, and a salad. Believe it or not I got Logan to try it all except the turnip greens. He sniffed those and stuck it to his tongue and then put it back on his plate. Lane made a huge mess and I'm not sure how much he really ate but I'm pretty sure he did eat some. For dessert we had some strawberry shortcake which the boys loved. Lane was really upset when it was all gone.

Logan got invited to play outside with our neighbor, Wyatt. So he headed out while I cleaned up and then Lane and I went out ourselves. It was about 61 degrees...so nice. The snow is still melting so the backyard was full of water and snow and ice. Logan played some tball and Lane explored. Little Lane was not at all afraid of a little water. He waded right through it and ended up going in early because his pants and shoes were soaking wet. Logan had a blast and was so glad to be outside. I'm so glad the weather is better. In just about a month all this snow should be gone and the ground should be dry. I'm not sure I'll ever get these boys to stay in the house!!!!
