This is a long video - but I PROMISE it is soo worth it! My kids still laugh like him and it's been almost a year since we first watched it. I'm glad I remembered it so I can share it with you. I still laugh until I cry every time I watch it.
Heather has given me the Blog Friend Forever award! Thanks so much! I love her blog, she's so personable that I feel like she lives right next door. And really, she'd fit right in - she has taken up fencing, and we already have neighbors that stand out in their front yard swinging their sword collection at each other! (Sometimes in fun, sometimes their screaming and yelling and really fighting) Shouldn't be too much longer and someone who's into jousting will move in across the street! LOL Back to the topic at hand; I want to pass this award on to:
This is soo right on with how I am! This is the first one of these here thingys that actually worked! I know, I'm easily amused, but hey, you like me. LOL

 You are logical, analytical, and rational. You have good verbal skills. Bold and daring, you're not afraid to change your life if you think it needs an overhaul. Consistent and reliable, you like to count on structure and routine in your life. Your emotions tend to be nervous and potent. Your energy - both positive and negative - deeply impacts your life. |
We had another little party today! We drink tea every day, so to make our parties special - we usually drink something else in our tea cups. Today we had French Vanilla Coffee and donuts. I've had the recipe for the coffee for a long time but I can't remember where I got it from.
French Vanilla Coffee MixI usually do laundry on Mondays and Fridays, and I usually have about 4 loads, well we went through some clothes we were saving from Jodi for Megan, and they finally fit her!! She feels like we've won the lottery and bought her a whole new winter wardrobe! I feel exhausted because my normal 4 loads of laundry turned into 9! At least the child has clothes that fit her though! Her ankles will be covered! This winter anyways! LOL
Today, Megan made us some toffee bars. We took pictures during the process to post the recipe BUT I didn't care for it! The end result was delicious, but it was a pain to make! The kitchen was even full of black smoke at one point! Then when we went to break them apart, the waxed paper stuck to them terribly. I will post one pic anyways (just because she is such a cutie!):
She has started her own blog too, check it out HERE!

Beginning next Tuesday we are joining Lori and her girls for Tea on Tuesdays. Megan LOVES tea parties and is so excited that we are going to be incorporating it into school. You should sign up too and let's see how big of a tea party we can have!
Nicole asked how I make this, it is so simple and easy that I'm almost embarrassed. Just cook your favorite mac & cheese, put meat (diced ham, cut up smoked sausage, whatever you like) and chopped broccoli in the pot while boiling the macaroni. Drain and mix in the cheese. Place in baking dish, cover with crumbled plain potato chips. Place in oven for 10-15 minutes. How's that for simple?
