All's Well That Ends Well!

As you can probably tell from my previous post, Friday was a pretty busy day, what with trying to get our normal school work done while also switching out all the children's seasonal clothes. For busy days like this, I like to keep meals in the freezer so I don't have to cook--just pop a casserole in the oven. I like to specifically make meals for my freezer, but since I haven't had time to do that yet since we moved here, I bought a couple Costco lasagnas to have on hand. I had invited my brother Chris and his friend Morgan, who are staying at our apartment but are pretty much keeping their own schedule to eat with us. While they were still trying to decide what they wanted to do, I went to remove my finished lasagna (which was smelling pretty yummy) from the oven. It was not meant to be. I'm still not sure exactly how it happened, but I managed to let the cookie sheet it was on slip and my lasagna ended up on the floor:

I was almost in tears. I can't say which was worse...the disappointment of ruining my yummy-smelling lasagna or the painful burns from trying to catch the lasagna as it fell. (Tip--never try to catch a falling fresh-from-the-oven lasagna in your lap as it falls. You will NOT save the lasagna. You WILL, however, burn yourself AND acquire cool orange stains on your best jeans.)
I guess I can't complain too much, because we did get to go out to a yummy restaurant for dinner instead (after changing out of the orange jeans, of course!)...


We took Chris and Morgan to one of our favorite restaurants here in our neighborhood. The guys wanted something they wouldn't find in Texas, and this place serves really good Cuban dishes. We enjoyed our meal and hanging out with Chris and Morgan, and of course we took lots of pictures!

Chris and Jordan...aren't they cute?

Goofy faces!

More silliness! :)

We ended up having a great time! I guess maybe ruining that lasagna was a blessing in disguise!
