Rainy days

It’s been raining pretty heavily for the last couple days. We needed it as it has been a while since we have had rain but it’s making us a little stir crazy.

I am thankful that no one had anywhere to be and we can all just snuggle in for school, work, and some reading. I ordered our groceries online to pick up tomorrow but in the meantime I had to figure out what to make for dinner. It really feels like a soup kind of day but I could eat soup everyday. I really like this really yummy tomato soup that I made from scratch but today I decided to try this Red Pepper and Tomato Soup.

We going to pair it with yummy grilled cheese sandwiches. I can’t wait. 🙂

In the meantime we are snacking. I love air popped popcorn and recently got Eva hooked on it as well. She has always loved popcorn but her go to was the microwave kind. I realized we didn’t have a popper for the beach house so I ordered this cute little one so we would have one there. Funny our one at home in Chapel Hill is older than Austin lol.

Cole loves cheddar sprinkle topping so I ordered this kind because it seemed a little healthier than the usual one we buy.

They are all really good but I am now OBSESSED with the sriracha one. It is SO good. I just ordered three more of just that kind.

Covid and being stuck at home has us snacking a lot so at least this is somewhat healthy.

What else is keeping you sane during this pandemic? Eva doesn’t like playing most of the games the older kids like to play and I got rid of a lot of our old ones when we moved. Yesterday she asked me to order another Apples to Apples game because we couldn’t find our old one. It arrives today so she will be happy!

Anyone reading any good books? I am currently reading The other Mrs. and so far I really like it.

I recently finished The guest list which I also like.

And if you like a lighter story I also just finished My favorite half-night stand

So that’s what is happening around here on this rainy Thursday. Hope you all are hanging in there!
