Babysitting, Sorta

My neighbor had an appt to go to the other morning, so I watched her daughter Callie, and son Lincoln for a few hours. Surprisingly, everyone was pretty happy the whole time. Callie put Olivia to sleep in her arms, and the boys watched Veggietales and Toy Story 2 while they ate their grapes and animal crackers :)




Then Callie helped me make Albondigas Soup--it was very good!
I got this recipe from John's mom Lulu.

Here I put Callie to work chopping the carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper.

Here we mixed the ingredients for the meatballs: 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb ground turkey, brown rice, italian bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and worshershershershire sauce lol.

We had to wait for Susan to come back with my Rotel tomatoes, but then we made the broth, and put everything in:


Taking a break with Lucas:

A few simmering hours later:

Thanks Callie!
