Hello Everybody! Today is a rainy Tuesday, and John Stephen and I are drying off from a few errands in the rain! Just thought I'd catch up the blog and try to stay in the swing of things around here!
I had my Pre-Christmas Nervous Breakdown this morning, and Shew! I feel better already! Do you ever hold yourself together through a stressful situation, and the when it is over just fall apart over nothing?
Here are Sydney and John Stephen making homemade pizza rolls last Friday night! It was John Stephen's first attempt at cooking, and he LOVED it! Sydney let him wear her butterfly apron, which was hysterical! These tasted terrible, but the kids loved them. I guess it was a nice activity for the little maniacs!
And speaking of cooking...I sent Don to the grocery store on Saturday night with very little direction. I just said," Get a steak or whatever looks good"...Here is what "looked good" to Don...
I've got Emeril's Red Beans and Rice started on the stove right now. If you haven't tried it, you should! I have to cook meals that can simmer on the stove top while we are waiting for Basketball or Football games to be over. This one has been a crowd pleaser, and it is pretty easy! You can find it on the food network website...
And, I guess most people are looking towards Christmas about now. I sure have been planning and plotting about the season ahead. When they put the Christmas decor out at Walmart a few weeks ago, I had to take a spin through. I am sort of a Decor snob, but I thought the ornaments were pretty cute this year! These vintage style wreaths were like $2- pretty cute! Gitcha Some!
Can't beat that! I refrained from throwing about 10 of them in my cart and moved along...
In other news...
*football season is over, and we have now moved to basketball! Pax is doing well and may get to play on the 9th grade team as well as the 8th grade team!
*I'm helping with the Hospitality Suite for an upcoming convention that Don has to go to each year. And trying to come up with ideas for snacks that can sit out for a few hours at a time. The goal is to NOT be TACKY! Hard for a hospitality suite!
*Don's side of the family is coming to my house for Christmas this year! Gotta get to work on some menu ideas.
*Christmas list done, not much shopping done...next week? maybe?
Toodle Loo, I've got to go back out in the rain- forgot Toilet Paper at the store- and we are OUT. So guess I'm heading back to Walmart! Have a good day!
