A Full Day

First off I was baby sitting Jonas,  Esme and of course little Amira, our neighbor, came over to play as well. I had already gotten onto them playing out in the front yard and told them that they could only play in the house or in the back yard. They had been inside playing and they informed me that they were going to go jump on the tramp. I went to use the bathroom and then turned the tv onto my fav. station but it was a commercial so I went to check on the little girls. They were not back there, so I asked Jonas if they were down stairs and he said no, I went into panic mode and checked all the rooms and then ran out side to check the front yard, they were no where to be seen. I told Jonas to go next door and see if they had gone to Amiras  house but they were not there, I started going into the house to get my shoes to search for them around the black when the phone started to ring. I quickly answered it and it was my mom saying "DID YOU KNOW THAT ESME IS NOT HOME?! Shes at the Deckers they are bringing the girls back". I was so mad at her and at the same time was thinking jeez, they are fast. They kinda remind me of me and Arden.Anyways I was so mad! When I saw them coming I walked right past Kimii and Ky and gave Esme a little swat on the butt. The other girls moved on why I had a discussion with Es about not telling me and that she was not aloud to do that! She tried to blame it on Amira but I wasn't fooled one bit. For her punishment I had her clean the living room (the mess that "Amira" made) and then made her suffer by making her lay by me in my parents bed and wouldn't let her watch what she wanted to. Good thing she fell asleep pretty fast, she is such a stinker.


Later that night for dinner I cooked Chicken Low Mein. I found the recipe on pintrest, it was so yummy that even the girls liked it, the only one that wouldn't touch it is Jonas. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound angel hair pasta
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 medium onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 4 to 5 shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sugar snap pea pods, halved
  • 1 (15-ounce) can Chinese baby corn, drained and cut in thirds
  • 1 to 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size strips
Instructions
  1. Cook the noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain out the water. Rinse the noodles with cold water, drain them well, and then set them aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Then set the sauce aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the ginger for 30 seconds. Then add the onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and carrots and stir-fry 2 minutes more. Finally, add the broccoli, pea pods, and corn. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2 more minutes, then transfer them to a plate.
  4. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add half of the chicken and stir-fry it until it's no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer it to another plate. Stir-fry the remaining chicken, then return the first batch to the pan. Add the cooked noodles, vegetables, and sauce. Turn the heat down to medium.
  5. Using two spatulas or wooden spoons, lightly toss the mixture until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.


Then I was invited to YW mini golfing and after that I had Kimii, Ky, and Hannah try out a new face mask (which I also found off of pintrest). It looked so yucky but it made my face feel soft after.






Some of it got in Kys mouth, hehe



If you want to know what it is, it's Avocado and honey. Its 1/2 Avocado and 1/4 C. of honey. Its kinda sticky and looks like boogers but think of it this way, you can use the left over Avocado for dip!

  1. Yah, I'd be tempted to take a little taste of the mask. Reminds me I should do a mask tonight. Of course I won't be making mine from scratch. It came from the store.
