Because Doug is an amazing husband.

And an even better Dad.

And because he had one midterm this week and has another one next week. (yuck)

And because he asked REALLY nicely.

I made him meatloaf for dinner last night.

And for some reason, he requested that it be shaped like a fish. Because, really, what could be better than a loaf of meat shaped like a fish???

And then he decided that he needed to "decorate" it.
Don't you want to eat meatloaf now? It was actually quite tasty. Sadly, there are no "after" pictures because Doug savagely attacked it as soon as I pulled it out of the oven. Thank you Ina Garten, my source for all things delicious!

I also made my SIL Erin's homemade granola (not to eat with the meatloaf, but I was making it as the meatloaf was cooking). It is, in a word, fabulous. And much prettier to look at than a loaf of meat shaped like a fish.


In other news, we had a family day on Thursday and took miss O to the park. Kiddo loves the swings!


I just adore this picture.
Really wish that there wasn't a random man in the background, though! I need to work on my Photoshop skills.

P.S. Here's a link to the turkey meatloaf recipe I used in case anyone wants to make one... fish shape not required.

I eat yogart and granola every morning...if you can share the that recipe it would be SO appreciated!!!

Turkey meatloaf is a staple in our house but shaping it...now that is a good idea (flower next time?? Do you accept the challenge?).
