I Feel Like Martha Stewart

The title says it all! I have been so domestic lately...cooking great meals, making decorations, etc. I roasted my first chicken last night for dinner. I was so excited about it that I knew I would have to share it on the blog...here is a picture of our delicious bird...

I was very proud of my chicken :)
It was a big hit with the kids too...they both had seconds!

Here is what the kids did while I was getting the chicken ready for the roaster...

They had a ball playing in the water and suds!
We were all just a *little* wet when they got done!

Homecoming

Tonight we went to the Homecoming parade and game. Lauren was so excited about the amount of candy that she got at the parade...it was better than a night of Trick-or-Treating! Her favorite part of the game is photographed below...

Yes, she got a foam finger! Once again, why do we spent LOTS of money on gifts when the cheapest ones are really the best ?!?!

Enjoying the (chilly!) game. I'm glad that I was not one of the girls on the Court...BRRRR!

Andrew also enjoyed the foam finger!

We stayed until half time, until we were chilled to the bone, until we heard that we lost the 50/50 raffle(~$570) ...then we came home! It was a nice family night!

Fire Safety

Lauren had a chance to learn about Firetrucks and fire safety at school today. "I sat on a firetruck and I had a great time at school today. I got a fire hat, a sticker and a fire truck coloring book. Andrew got to wear my hat, just look at the pictures... (Lauren)

WOW!

That's all that I can say...WOW! In the 10 years that Todd and I have been together, I have never seen this side of him before...




It is Homecoming week and the classes chose Decades of Music for their themes. The teachers could choose whatever they wanted...so they chose Emo. Huh?? That's what I said! Emo. Todd went all out...black nail polish, jewelery, tattoos, lip piercing...even eye liner!! And he said that he was "tame" compared to some of the other teachers. And you ask what is wrong with our education system??? Look no further! :)

Andrew's Football Career

We are starting to decorate Andrew's big boy bedroom (in sports decor, of course). I thought that it would be fun to get a few pictures of Andrew in one of Todd's old jersey's. Hopefully I can hang a few of these in his room...here are a few pictures that I took so far...

Touchdown!

The game ball :)

The Good Old Days

Todd and I were able to attend a wedding this past weekend - without the kids! One of Todd's buddies from High School got married (finally!) Here are a few pictures from our "parent's weekend out!"

All dressed up!

The Guys
(Notice my husband is the only one holding a drink :)

"My best friend, Abby"

This last weekend we celebrated Abby's 3rd birthday. Abby and Lauren are "best friends" and cousins. They love to spend time together and play. Here are a few pictures from the party...

It's party time!

What did I get?

Make a wish!
