Dinner Is Served!!!!

When the Wonder Twins get to decide what we are having for dinner, this is what happens.

Take a package of Crescent Rolls- who doesn't like Crescent rolls??? Take a package of Hot Dogs. I would ask who doesn't like hot dogs, but the answer would be me!!!

Unroll the Crescent rolls.

Cut into the package of hot dogs and roll them up in the Crescent rolls.

This is what the will look like after you roll them up and put them on a pan.

They were very excited!!!

This is what you get when they come out of the oven. Perfection!

No matter how difficult this recipe looks- just try it! With enough practice, I really believe everybody could be eating this tonight.

Enjoy!

Halloween Weekend

I am not sure what I have been doing, but I have been trying to get this done since Sunday afternoon. Here is our Halloween recap:

Saturday, after lunch, some friends came over. Behind them they pulled a trailer full of toys- 3 motorcycles and 1 four wheeler. They said it was for the children, but when I looked outside to watch the children having fun, what I saw was the three daddy's riding and the children playing in the dirt. My camera sat on the kitchen counter, and not one picture was taken!!!! That is a shame, because from the scabs on my husbands elbow, there were some great photo opportunities. We hope to see that trailer pull back up Thanksgiving week!

We then went to trick or treat with this pumpkin- she is so cute I could kiss her face off. This one had a bath in the kitchen sink while I was there- it was all I could do not to jump up and get some pictures, but I had already taken about 20 of her and I didn't want her mother to get concerned! Then I spotted this one:

CUTIE PIE! Her cousin is the sweetest, most doting older cousin I have ever seen. I'm not sure what's going on over in "Maseyville" but they are doing something right!

Handed out candy with these lovely ladies, laughed pretty hard as we sat on the front porch under our "wedding knot" quilt. Good Times!

And now my trick or treat-er line-up:

Baseball player- went over much better than the ghost!

Pizza delivery guy- he didn't have a costume, I asked him to take the pizza box to the trash and he came up with Pizza guy. That's a deal-for $10.00, we got dinner, lunch and a Halloween costume!

Modest Super girl (her outfit was just a little too big, so she put on a t-shirt under it)

And of course- Spider man

Sunday, we had the time change, that left me time to take some pictures!

It was a great weekend!

Crack Me Up!

I got this e-mail the other day. I get tons of e-mails everyday that have forward this to 10 friends or you will have 7 years of bad luck or forward this to 10 friends and you will receive 10 blessings in the next 30 seconds. I am thinking that neither bad luck nor blessings are given out by passing along e-mails. So, I normally do not forward them. The one I got Tuesday was from a friend of mine and it made me laugh-hard! I wanted to share it with you so you too can laugh-hard! Here it is- read the whole thing...


What Do You Do All Day?


A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and 20 wrappers strewn all around the front yard.The door of his wife's car was open, and so the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door.As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor.Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?'She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'


The problem with posting an e-mail like that is what kind of picture do you put with it? Maybe my piles of laundry, my playroom floor, the dog hair scattered throughout my house, every bed that has not been made today- I guess the choices are limitless here, but I have chosen this instead.

This picture cracks me up- if you could see underneath that ghost's sheet- you would see one very mad Wonder Twin. Needless to say, she will not be dressing up like a ghost this year!

Special Request

Several people have requested to see pictures of the Breast Cancer 5K. I normally do not like to show pictures of "someone else's" event(Melinda's), but she has cancer and I'm not sure when she will get pictures up. Here are a few:

Here are some girls showing off the t-shirt that won! Who knew that there was a t-shirt competition???

Melinda with part of her posse- the other 1/2 was running late. I was going to do this picture really big, but I thought I looked like Casper the friendly ghost- so you will have squint to see it- it is after all, all about me! What a good friend!

Here is Melinda with our Sunday School teacher- they both rock! Have you seen her new haircut-she looks hot!

This is what true athletes do before a big race... coffee, cell phone, shopping- life is good!

It was a great day! Even if I didn't have the best finish time, (you have to start the run to finish it)I felt like a winner when I got in my car to drive home!

Do NOT Take Your Camera To Whole Foods!!!

Yesterday, my mama, my sister and I took a day trip to the big city! We were going to visit my aunt Ka Ka and my cousin who just had a baby boy. We were excited, so at 5:30, with camera in hand, we were well on our way. We were making great time. We got 1/2 way there and the traffic came to a complete stop. We looked over and noticed a man that obviously had a driver- we knew who he was from the sign on the sides and back of his car- he wants to be the next governor of our great state. We were just sitting on the interstate for awhile and then we noticed his driver pull to the side of the road and continue traveling down the side- on the side of the road. Others followed him, and so did we- if our next governor can do it- so can we. It looked like it was going to be a great trip- I was driving or I would have taken his picture- a celebrity sighting!
We made it to my aunts house and then followed her to the hospital. It was then that it hit me, big city life is not so different from life where I live. Here, when you visit someone in the hospital, you pull in to the parking lot, park and walk in. In the big city, you pull into the parking garage, get a ticket to park, drive around the garage several times, park in the "blue" zone, take the "green" elevator to the second crosswalk, take 3 flights of stairs down, exit the building, enter another building, take the elevator up, pay your ticket and try to remember how to get back to your car. See - not so different. We did make it to her room and we got to visit with my cousin and that sweet baby boy- man those cheeks!

My sister found ways to entertain herself while she waited her turn to hold him.

Don't worry, she never got her hand all the way down. We visited for a while, then we were off to eat lunch.
We went to The Cheesecake Factory. Have you been there? It is out of this world good! My sister got this salad-

I got it last time I went and wondered the entire time I sat and watched her eat it why I didn't get it this time. My mama and aunt got cheesecake- they love it!

I got a chicken and avocado sandwich- it was wonderful. I snapped pictures the entire time, I think the table across from us thought I was a food critic-I'm not sure why. I took 1 picture of people and about 20 pictures of food- huh?
We then went out for a little shopping. Lee found a friend,

but the rest of us just window shopped- really we just enjoyed being together- laughing a lot!
Then we went to Whole Foods and this is where our trip went bad- very bad. Well, not really bad- just sad for me. We had looked forward to this trip since we found out my cousin was expecting. We didn't know what all we would do in the big city, but the one thing we did know is that we would go to Whole Foods. I started outside. They had this pumpkin display that was "so fall". I took several pictures outside of there wonderful plants, then we moved inside. The way they display their produce is a work of art, so I began to snap away. We walked over to a counter where a lady was cutting up some fruit. We asked her what an item was and she made us guess- we all missed it- it was a Young coconut- it was white and perfect. I had to take a picture of that. Then we moved to their grains and nut display. I had my picture framed up, the a customer walked up. I backed up because I didn't want her to feel like I was taking her picture. I couldn't wait to get this shot- I knew it was going to be a really neat picture. I then heard "Excuse me-" I turned around to find a very nice looking young lady standing beside me- she told me that I could not take pictures at the store, and went on to explain that there were pictures on their web-site if I wanted to look at some. She was nice about it- I was very, very disappointed! The longer I walked around, the more I saw I wanted to shoot with the camera that hung on my arm. Wonderful things, colors, textures, different brands, all things I wanted to share with you. I decided not to post the few pictures I did take there(before I was told not to)- something about it just doesn't seem right. If you want to see what it looks like- you can visit their web-site. I guess that is what I will be doing from now on.
All in all, it was a wonderful trip! We can't wait for her to have another baby!

Our Weekend!

We started out this weekend with excitement! We had watched the weather and we knew it was going to be cold! When you start to see these coming to town, you know the cold air is not far behind.

So, on Friday afternoon, when daddy got home from work, we headed over to get firewood and some pine cones.

We loaded it up and headed back home.

On a side note, notice that nice driveway that has just gotten paved- if you live around here and need a new driveway, trees knocked down, old building knocked down(you know because a lot of people have old buildings they don't want any more) a pond, or really anything around your yard- call a wonderful man named Ryan at Heavy Earth Construction- they rock!

Back to our weekend- we stacked the wood on the back porch.

Then we waited for the cold weather to come.

Well, it came and we made some yummy soup and sat by this...

This just might be my favorite time of year!

Fall Break

It's fall break around here and we are enjoying it! We took the Wonder Twins to lunch yesterday for their birthday. They chose O'Charley's.

I have a hard time going there. When I was pregnant with them, I was very sick- all the time. Gi Gi had her birthday party at O'Charley's. I got sick on the way, got up twice during the meal and sick on the way home. I just can't seem to get past those memories.

But the Wonder Twins do love the rolls there- and that is why they chose it.

Today, we haven't gotten out of our PJ's.

I have done house work, they have all just laid around- it has been wonderful!

From a wide shot, you can tell that they are not worried about the house work at all.

I hope the rest of the week is this good! Homeschooling looks better and better!
