New Farm Animals

Dear Sis,

Today after nap time William got another package. This one was from Amazon. William had filled a chore/potty sticker chart a few days before and he decided he would like some farm animals as his reward. We found a great toy barn at the annual yard sales this year for $1.00. He has been using it as a parking garage for his matchbox cars, but has been asking for animals for a while. I kept telling him he’d have to do more chores and use the potty. Yes, I’m that Mom!

I reheated Cheeseburger Soup for dinner and I finally remembered to take a picture so I can share the recipe:)

Notes
  1. We really like fresh baked biscuits with this soup! If you don't have time for homemade, bake frozen biscuits. They are every bit as good as homemade and don't have the weird taste and texture that refrigerated biscuits do.
  2. Leftovers can be frozen.
