Brushing off my Fall recipes

Today for the first time ever I made homemade Mac and Cheese, I'm surprised I've never done this before, it was soooo easy and the boys ate it, well 2/3 boys ate it since MJ doesn't eat solids yet.
1tbsp butter/margerine
1tbsp flour
1cup milk,

2 cups grated cheese
3 cups Cooked noodles,

Melt butter, add flour, mix in milk slowly, throw in cheese, dump cooked mac in casserole dish, mix with cheese stuffs, throw in oven on 350 until starts to get brown.
done and done.
I see clean plates, that makes me feel like they appreciate my efforts to cook, DJ *(hubbie) can't eat it though due to his milk intorlance so the boys have it all to themselves.
I used a 9X9 Glass Casserole, so let me see 3 +1+2+24+12= comes to 42 points for the whole casserole if anyoen is counting out there. devide in to say 6 parts? 7points each. YAY I guess I could make salad or throw some ham in there too if I want to up the ante...

Tomorrow is Chicken soup in the crock, we'll see how the boys like that item that doesn't come out of a can?

Rain Rain go away

I can't believe I'm saying that, but we've had a beautiful week here and of course the Holiday is the day that it rains!! hubbie is painting the new room in the basement and it's starting to look nice, the first coat look just like blue over white but now with the 3rd coat almost finished you finally can't see the white or where the paint roller hit the wall or the edges that maybe darker then the rest.
The boys are stuck in TV mode today, the rain isn't helping, we may end up renting a movie just for a change or go for a rainy day drive might be an option. We can't get over heated in a car while it's raining. hmmmmm? Maybe they could make little lists or pictures of things they see today, that would keep them from climbing the walls or flooding the basement. I'm learning lately now to keep them busy, I'm not much for playing with my kids, I do miss the Me time, but maybe after 9pm?
