snow day...plus bisque

today all the schools around here are closed in anticipation of a mighty 3 inches of snow. our preschool sticks to the county schedule for closings so that means that we have nothing to do with judah while we both work! luckily our jobs are awesome and understanding so jesse took judah in to his office for a few hours this morning while i got all the in-person tasks i needed to do done at my office. then i took my laptop home to watch judah and finish up the online work. i picked judah up from jesse's office on my way home and got a peek at what goes on every day when jesse keeps him for an hour after preschool (our preschool care is only 4 hours a day and we both work full-time, so it's a time-management adventure for us to get 80 hours of work in with only 20 hours of childcare guaranteed!).

relax...no one is going to take your ball

.

aw, snap!

.

he has started doing this HILARIOUS smile/squint when we take a picture of him. its because the flash pre-light shines in his eye and half annoys and half cracks him up. the face he makes KILLS us.

.

HAHAHAHAHA i was purposely shining the light in his eyes this time. i tested it on myself and didn't go blind, so don't worry (mom)
.

he looks like he is imparting some wisdom to us, "well, let me tell YOU something..."

i wish i had one for MY desk!

and here's that, ahem, recipe you all asked for on the "crab bisque" that was on our menu (it's actually charleston she-crab soup). ironically, we actually had it for dinner last night because we had eaten all our leftovers for lunch so we had to pull a menu swap and eat it alongside the leftover cornbread i made from scratch on monday from a fellow blogger's recipe. the soup was a BOGO at publix that i bought MONTHS ago then forgot about and subsequently unearthed during my freezer excavation for frugal feb. its in the frozen section next to the fish counter at our store. normally a container is about 6 or 7 bucks but, of course we BOGO'ed. inside the container is a plastic bag full of frozen soup that you just boil in a pot of water until it's hot enough to eat. so so easy. and it's seriously *in robot voice* de-li-ci-o-ci-ty! i am flattered that some of you think i could make a bisque myself.
