February Marley talk

There were some boys walking down the street. 
Marley says "oh my friends"
Me- "those are not your friends, those are teenage boys"
Marley-"oh maybe one of them can be my boyfriend"

After Marley's first soccer game she walked up to me and said "Those other kids are too freaking fast"

My parents are on vacation and I was explaining to Marley where they went
Marley- "why do they have to go on vacation all the time"
Me- "because they just like to go on trips together"
Marley- "why can't grandpa go by himself" 

This one is actually from Mike, but it was too funny to forget-

Me- do you want to eat some okra?

Mike- isn't that a whale?

Me- that's an orca...

Pierogi Casserole

Pierogis are one of our favorite foods in this house. Marley calls them froggies, it's too cute to correct so that's what we all call them now. When I came across a recipe for pierogi casserole on pinterest, of course I added it to the menu. 

9 lasagne noodles, cooked (I used no boil noodles so mine aren't cooked)

4 cups hot mashed potatoes

1/2 cup  Philadelphia Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese Spread

1 pkg. bacon bits, divided

2 cups shredded cheddar Cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In bowl mix together mashed potatoes, cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup bacon. 

Spray baking dish with non stick spray. Place a layer of noodles in dish and cover with 1/3 of the mashed potatoes mix. 

Repeat layers two more times. 

Cover with remaining bacon and cheddar cheese.  Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. 

This tasted just like "froggies" My only problem with it was the edges were really hard (see photo below) I think if I make this again, I will make sure to spread my potato mix all the way to the edges to ensure that they're not so crunchy.  Otherwise, delicious! 

So long soccer

Marley had her last soccer game last Saturday.  She never did score a goal this season, but did lots of running. After her game she received her trophy. It was so cute, a little soccer bobble head.

Now that soccer is over she's signed up for dance class and starting in April she'll start t-ball.

Gotta love the little butt picking boy. lol 

Valentine's Day

Time is flying by. I'm almost a month late on posting about our Valentine's Day. 

Marley had a small party at school on the 13th (she only goes M,W,F) . She wrote her name on cards for all her classmates. The day before she wasn't feeling well, and she was actually falling asleep while filling out her cards before school. 

The whole class sang a few songs for the parents. 

This is how Marley spend her Valentine's day. Still not feeling good and fell asleep while eating lunch. 

Luckily, she started feeling better the day after Valentine's. And both kids had some mail! 

Cards from Grandma and Grandpa. I told Marley to hold up Mason's card for him, so she held it up in front of his face. She's a great sister!
