Home made Chipotle!

Its a beautiful evening in Bucaramanga! One reason for that is early bedtimes! Since the sun sets at around 6 here, the kids get tired earlier! Charlie is already asleep (it is 7:42!) and Emma is getting nice and sleepy! We will see though.. She has been wanting to stay up late recently. We made Chipotle today. It was a definite success!! I was very nervous going in since we can't make the tomatillo sauce that we LOVE (well maybe we could, but I have yet to find a recipe.. so we opted to just use taco sauce). Also, I saw the "cilantro" that we got. Well, the questionable cilantro was indeed cilantro, and the cilantro line rice turned out PERFECTLY!! It tasted just like the rice at chipotle, but not as oily! This is definitely going to be a do-over! And it will be something that Johana can easily re-do! When we did the pad thai, I did a lot of explaining, and I think if we did it again, it would be the same. We consulted recipes and instructions the first like 5 times we made it. This on the other hand was amazing and easy!! Also, a funny little story- we have parent teacher night the other day at school, and one thing that they were talking about was the fact that the nannies seem to be harming the flow when it comes to the kids liking school. Apparently some of them have been saying, things along the lines of, "I know you don't want to go- I don't want you to go either" or "It's Monday. You have to go to school today.. It isn't a fun weekend day!" Etc. Etc. So the teachers are planning on having another parent night just for the nannies. Well I got to school a little early to pick up Emma, and since it wasn't 11:45 yet, I walked over to the clubhouse to wait where Emma wouldn't see me. Then I saw this.. those are two nannies peeking into the windows and waving at "their" kids. After that, I definitely didn't want to get Emma early because I didn't want to be a trouble maker and get grouped in with the nannies :)

  1. Yum Chipotle! Looks like it to me! :)

    BTW This site http://www.blurb.com/ has a way to turn your blog into a nice book pretty inexpensively. Not sure if you had heard of it. Down the road you should look into doing it. Your kids will love looking at what you wrote one day.

    My cousin does it each year with just her family blog she writes. Her daughter loves looking back at them.
