How do you choose a title for your post when you want to write about different things? I have the toughest time deciding on a title and it's often the last thing added before hitting publish. I feel they are so cheesy!
Dinner:
Dinner last night was good (Firecracker Chicken). We'd make it again, but next time add A LOT LESS sugar! Holy moly, sugar overload at 6 pm. It was really sweet, but maybe that's what it's supposed to taste like? We liked the heat on it. I didn't do exactly as the recipe calls either. With Xander eating, I didn't want to make it too hot/spicy so I didn't bake it like the recipe calls. I put the sauce in a saucepan and did the chicken separate, then blended it all together when the chicken was done. It still had kick to it, and Xander still ate all of his! It was a fast recipe to make...my kind of night!
Tonight and tomorrow are already thrown off the schedule. We're grabbing subway tonight and tomorrow are also going out, just not sure where yet. We're going with our friends after trick or treating.
Planning travel:
November is a busy month. Nick has a lot of time off and we had 2 big trips planned, but have cut it down to one big trip and 2 or 3 small trips added in. We want/need to stick to a budget yet do as much traveling as possible. Today, I'm tasked with researching Prague There's so much into planning a trip around here. We have to research the area, the driving rules, hotels, possibly train/public transportation, costs, what to do, how to get there (is it cheaper/easier to fly, drive, or take a train?), gas stations along the way, learning phrases in the countries language, currency...yada yada yada. We had Prague scheduled in May, but while researching Sweden, Sweden is just too expensive. So now Prague is a possibility sometime next month. Planning gets overwhelming, I must admit. I'm the one that usually is cancelling our plans lately. Maybe because I get so overwhelmed with everything, I get freaked out.
I have booked travel to Paris in December. I'm excited for that trip, but upset at the same time because we're not taking the kids and I really wanted the kids to see Paris. Yes, their young, but it would still be nice for them to be able to say they've been there and have pictures for memories. We'll have about 6 months left and enough time to go back, but I'm sure we won't. A little disappointing to me. Maybe I can convince hubby to take them to Disneyland Paris for their birthdays. We have already planned to go to Legoland for their birthdays, but maybe we can say Disneyland for Sterling and Legoland for Xander? I'll sure try!
Well I better get on to planning some trips for next month.
Have a great day!
