Spaghetti pie

This is 1 of my all-time fave recipes. 1 of my friends had a baby a few weeks ago & we have a thing in our Mom group where we make new moms meals. I chose this & they loved it. Even her picky eater.

Timesaving Tips

•When you're making spaghetti for your family, plan ahead and make an extra 1/2 pound for this recipe.

•This is a great make-ahead dish: Just assemble and freeze it without cooking. Thaw then bake just before serving.

Strawberry festival 2011

Yesterday was a really long day. We went to the town Strawberry festival. We were there for like 4 hrs. We saw tons of our friends & Tara did really good even though she was coughing & her nose was dripping. I didn't take many pics. I wish I had.


She went in the bouncy house & the bouncy opsticle course. Had strawberry shortcake (I had a hot fudge sundae).

Made a sand art cellphone.

It was nice seeing all of our friends & catching up with them.

Last day of school

I thought I would do Tara's school outfit post on this blog today. It was her last day & she was really tired & woke up not feeling great. She didn't want to go to school, but was happy once she got there. She felt worse after school. We went to Walgreens & she had a meltdown in there. We came home & she went right into her room & crawled into the bed. She took a nap & then later on after she got up she fell asleep on the couch. Tomorrow is the Strawberry festival, so I'm hoping she feels better & doesn't miss it.

Tara's graduation

Today Tara had a little ceremony @ a local castle with her class. It was so cute. The kids were up on stage & sang a bunch of songs. She got a diploma too. Anthony couldn't make it cause he had a meeting in work, so I video taped a lot of it. It was such a fun day. We had thunderstorms & hail this morning & there was something going on & traffic was backed up, but we made it there on time. Luckily it cleared up & the sun came out.

Tara's 1st teacher.
