Dinner Last Night

Ashley and I cook dinner together most of the time during the summer--I know, how fun, huh?!. However, one night per week she is in charge of planning the menu, making a grocery list, and cooking the meal. If she prepares it all by herself (which she usually does), then she is "released" from kitchen duty after dinner. Because she (as I do) despises cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, she works very hard at preparing the meal herself :)

This is one of her favorite creations (and Carlos gets very excited when he sees this dinner on his plate, lol!). She got it from a kids' cookbook. Just thought I'd share. Doesn't it look appetizing??!! (for a kid, I mean!). I always ask for my hot dog and goldfish crackers "on the side." Just thought I'd share. I wish I'd taken a picture of the expression on Carlos' face when he saw his plate!

Happy Fourth of July!

I have that cookbook. I made the one with the blue macaroni and cheese to look like sea water. Then we put goldfish in there. Voila the ocean.

I didn't know you could do that to hot dogs! How cute! LOL!

Unfortunately for me, Garrett would just eat it and swallow it without even noticing what it was! He'd go, "Hot dogs?...Suhweet!"...and then it would be chomp, chomp, chomp, gulp!!!

Favorite Things

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Feb Year In Review Layouts

Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
