Outside Temp: 37 F (it was in the 60's today!  I walked around in a short sleeved shirt, and it was beautiful... not too many of these days left...)

What I cooked today:
Walnut Chicken: While I was in town, I actually sat down and made a meal plan for the week.  So far, I've followed it (for the last 3 days at least!).  So, when I went to make my chicken, I actually had the ingredients to make it!  Woo hoo!  Who knew how easy it was to make dinner?

Update:
Allen got the wonderful opportunity to get tested for allergies today!  How fun it must have been, to have them stick about 40 little needles into your back! 

It turned out that he's allergic to practically everything, mostly grasses (including wheat), which wasn't much of a surprise.  We are going to have Connor tested next week, and when it turns out that he's also allergic to practically everything, we will have to bring them into Great Falls twice a week for a month, to get their allergy shots.  I can hopefully schedule it so that it coincides with their study hall period on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Now, if only I had the time to get my shopping done at the same time...

We also had a blood drive at the school today.  The phlebotomist that took care of me did a great job, and I was done quickly (although my totally awesome neighbor was faster by about 40 seconds!).  I even talked Grandma AND Grandpa into donating as well!  I think the drive was a success and they had a lot of donations, which is always a good thing.

Allen had his first day of Basketball practice today.  Yes, the day after their football last game.  No time off for these boys!  He was a little disappointed in his performance, but his coach said he did fine.  He still hasn't decided if he wants to play, but I'm figuring that he'll say yes.  It's only 5 weeks and I think he'll do a lot better than he did last year!
