Yummy Pasta!!!

For the past few months, I have been waiting to try this recipe, but never got around to getting all the ingredients at the same time. But I have and I will be kicking myself for a while for putting this off for so long.

It is called Cherry Tomato Mozzarella Basil Pasta. That is a mouthful, so I just named it yummy pasta. It looked so good cooking, I took pictures through the process.

halved cherry tomatoes and diced onions

DELICIOUSNESS!!!!

the thing i will be changing next time is to use shredded cheese instead of cubed

THE FINALE!!

It was so good that it had the girls and Cayce screaming AGAIN!!!!!

Ariana Letter Curriculum: Week 30

We started the letter X this week. I am thinking that this will probably be the last week we do this curriculum. It was such a disappointment this go around and I am hoping that Adalyn will start talking better soon and then we can start this with her after her 4th birthday come February. There was a bit of a gap between weeks and I don't know what the hell happened. See, not happy with how this turned out.

We started this letter on Tuesday.

I had taken several pictures of her before this one because she has this thing where she will not look at the camera, she will look all around, and she was about to cry in this picture because I was getting frustrated. 

The next day we did school was on Saturday. Huge gap between lessons and I was not thrilled. But she has been doing summer activities with Samantha and she is also learning through that.

So only two days this week, and I am pretty sure this will be the last week we do this curriculum.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Battle of the Labyrinth Review

OK, I know I said that The Titan's Curse was my favorite.... this one blew the third book out of the water. This one was so good, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I love the whole labyrinth story and all the scary things inside.

I loved the beginning. Demon cheerleaders is all I am going to say. The dialogue was on point and the obnoxious narrative has VANISHED!!!!! Thank the gods! Hahaha, get it, I just used a line from the books. That character building is on fleek!!! Did I really just say that?

The characters I enjoyed were Nico and the introduction to Daedalus. I loved the story of Daedalus and his son and how he was imprisoned for SOOOOOO long in the labyrinth and how they tried to escape and his son didn't make it. It was heartbreaking. I also loved how they brought Tyson back into the story. 

The one thing I was disappointed in was that we didn't get to read much about Thalia. What happened to her and the hunters. 

This book was an amazing read and by far my favorite and I can't wait to read the last. I hope that it will answer some questions that I have and will it carry on into the new-ish series?

Happy Independence Day!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday America.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Last Olympian

I am finally on the last book of the Percy Jackson series. The previous book was DAMN good and I am sooo happy with my decision to keep reading these books after my disappointment with the first book. I can not wait to see what happens in this one. I am also really excited to announce that I will also be reading Rick Riordan's other series the coincides with this series. But it won't be this year or next year that I will be getting to them. So if you guys have read the series or his other novels, NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!!!
