Food!

Have you ever heard of "My Girlfriends Kitchen?" You go to their facility and assemble about 10 meals for a cost of $185. They have all of the ingredients prepped for you and after you put it all together you take it home and freeze it. We decided to do our own homemade version which yielded 24 meals for a total of $130. This is good food too! Chicken enchiladas, beef stroganoff, sweet pork salad, chicken cordon bleu and etc.... My sister-in-laws organized the whole thing and did all the shopping. Then all 6 of us took several items and prepped all of the ingredients. One person cooked all the chicken, another did the beef, someone did the cheese and another did the veggies and etc. On the final night it only took us about an hour to put it all together. This is exactly what I needed right now while we are working on our house and moving because I don't have a lot of time to cook! I want to do it again in a couple of months so if anyone wants to join me let me know!

Princess toilet paper

In an earlier post I shared with everyone my darling daughters desire for princess toilet paper as a birthday present. Uncle Cory (who lives in our bsmt. apt.) got online and found specially printed toilet paper. There weren't any actual "princess" printings but these were close enough. There was a third roll with bright red lips but Evie used it up before we took a picture. Thanks Uncle Cory!

Meet the Cullen family

The entire Cullen family for the movie Twilight has finally been cast! For the most part I'm happy with the choices in actors but something has got to be done about the awful wigs the two young girls are wearing. Couldn't they have tried hair dye instead? All that really matters is that I get to see this awesome book become a movie. It comes out on Dec. 12th and I can hardly wait! I'm a bit of a fanatic (just ask my friend Starla).

Another LOST Blurb

The episode of LOST tonight was my favorite ever. I cried and cried over Desmond and Penelope. I know some people might think I'm pathetic but I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. True love triumphs over all obstacles is the best story in my book (I'm also having Princess Bride flashes all of a sudden). I can't wait to see how their personal story turns out and of course I hope it's a happy ending.

Evie's 4th Birthday



Evie had a "Princess Party" this year for her birthday. We had 7 little girls here between ages 2-4 and it was a blast! Everyone got to wear a princess outfit. They decorated tiaras, made candy necklaces and played pin the crown on the princess. Of course Evie received many princess inspired gifts to add to her collection.


The finale was a castle cake made by mom who swears she will never make it again because it was so much work. We'll see! We did include wrapped up quarters inside the cake for the kids to find which was a tradition from my Grandma. It was fun to celebrate our little girls b-day with good friends and family. Thank you all for coming!

Slip and Slide at SVHS

A typical winter morning at the high school in my home town. One of the teachers slipped on the ice on his way into school. Instead of throwing out ice melt he set up a video camera from his classroom window to catch more victims. As each person fell they were invited in to watch. The crowd got bigger and bigger. Sometimes you have to make your own fun in a small town.

Favorite line from LOST

My favorite line from the show LOST this week was when Locke was leading his posse through the jungle. Sawyer asked Locke where they were going next and Locke replied that he didn't know yet. Sawyer then stated, "Why don't we just ask a little taller Walt ghost." It was really funny to me. I guess you had to be there.
