Who'd of thunk it?

I actually got the driveway cleaned off by myself today!  I ran out during "Cat in the Hat" and shoveled it all to the sides.  Don't have a heart attack people, I stuck my head in the door to make sure all was legit about 20 times.  Then I revved up the snow blower and cleared it all away. Go me!  I followed this excitement up with an hour of play-doh play.  I was ready to be done after 10 minutes.  I didn't think I had a worse attention span than a 2 year old!!

Later, I was making lunch and a "burrito" was on the list.  My initial thought "WAHOO, yumminess!!!!".  Then I read the ingredients.  Hmm, not so yum.  On my tortilla was:

Tomato (a few slices down the middle)
Onion (slice)
Cheese (1/4 cup)
*Heat the above ingredients under the broiler until the cheese is melted, then add:
Avacado (1/4 of a whole one)
Lettuce (1 cup)

I HATE avocado.  I figured this was going to be a disaster.  I made it anyway and you know what?  I liked it.  I even ate the rest of the avocado and gave some to Girl too.  She ate her slice but didn't want more.  She had already had a ton of peas, cheese, and chicken nuggets so I wasn't surprised.  This "burrito" was quite delicious and only 250 calories!  I also added some raisins to my lunch. I had to sneak them though, otherwise Girl would want them all.  They're her new favorite food.  I didn't even let her have them until she was over 2 years old, but now that she's had them ... watch out and hide your raisins!

Back to the burrito talk.  Don't get me wrong, this was no Chipotle.  I LOVE their rice, sour cream, cheese, chicken filled love handles in a tortilla, but this healthy one wasn't too shabby.  I would NOT call it a burrito but more of a warm wrap, but who am I to change the name of somebody else's creation? So overall, another lunch option and I can no longer say that I hate avocado.

The rest of the day should be just as uneventful as the morning!  I have coloring, preschool learning books, and barbies on the list.  After that 15 minutes is over, I don't know what we'll do.  :)
