Easiest Chicken Pot Pie Ever

My brother in law is famous in the family for his chicken pot pie.  It's so good and after finding out the recipe I found out how easy it is.  I almost always have the ingredients to make this comfort food dish. 
Here's the recipe...
Ingredients:
2 cans cream of potato soup
1/2 bag frozen mixed veggies
1 Cup or so of chopped up cooked chicken
2 frozen pie crusts (most times you can find these in the frozen section in the grocery store with 2 in one package)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix all of these in a bowl and spoon into a refrigerated pie crust (make sure you plan ahead and take the frozen pie crusts out of the freezer to thaw ahead of time).  Top pot pie with second pie crust and cut slits on top for venting.  Pinch the 2 pie crusts together around the edges to create a seal.  Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until hot in the middle and crust is golden. (I also put the pie on a baking sheet to prevent a mess in the oven in case it bubbles over or there is a crack in the crust where the filling will bubble out during baking).

Painting with Ice Cubes

I totally stole this idea from my high school friend that has her own blog that's magnificent.  I love this idea because we do art projects and painting constantly.  This makes things a little different which in turn makes it more fun for the kiddos.  This is the first time Lilly has gotten to paint with ice cubes and both my munchkins loved it. 
I put a piece of paper on a paper towel to absorb extra moisture from the melting ice cube and put the paper towel and paper in a pan to keep everything contained.  We use washable paint so the cleanup on the pans is super easy. 

Put a few drops of paint on the paper, place an ice cube on the paper and let the kids smear the colors all around.  I gave my kids a plastic fork to help move the ice around but they liked using their own hands to move the ice cube around.  This was a little more messy, but not bad.

Loved how they turned out!

I'm a Redhead!

Ah, the joys of changing my hair color by the season...I'm currently a redhead.  I have been about every color in the rainbow, it seems like, throughout my life.  I usually do red in the winter and blond in the summer.  I would've liked a darker red, but this is what came out and it's good for right now.
I got a great deal on hair color with a Walgreens sale and a coupon and got each box of hair dye for $3.  I picked up 4 boxes, all different colors.  It's not like if I don't like the color I can't wear a hat for a couple of days and dye it again.  I once went to church with burgundy hair and matched the pews.  I was not going to miss church! 

So, here I am:)

I used Clairol foam 6R-light auburn.  I have to say that I like the no drip formula of the foam but if you've ever tried it you know that it has the worst smell.  It's not like a normal hair dye smell...it's like a peroxide stinky sock smell.  It takes about 2-3 days to wash that smell out.  Yuck.  But, I had never tried the foam and it was a great promotional price for the right color.

I also love this blog and the hair demo she posted this past Friday was fun to try out on myself.  Her hair is about 5 times thicker than mine, but I gave it a shot.  It was nice to curl my hair and feel 'pretty'.  I might actually paint my fingernails tonight.  Watch out!  I'm on a roll!
