Say What??

This picture cracks me up. I was trying to get a shot of Mom and Maggie, and Mom heard me say something out of context. This was her response:

Maggie has the same look too. How funny is that? What'd I say?? Maybe "I'm going to have triplets" or "Georgia loves watching WWF wrestling". Who knows (although neither of these are true).

Back to normal later. Maggie looks as big as Mom here.

School starts back tomorrow - thank goodness!!!! I wake up every morning hearing Maggie say, "Will you play with me?", and I hear it ALL DAY LONG. She's ready to be with other 3 year olds versus her 28 year old mom (say what??).

Happy Birthday John!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

And Jesus, of course!

Up On the Housetop Reindeer Pause

Merry Christmas. May the Peace of the Season be with you always.

Visions of Sugarplums Danced In Our Head

I love sweets, and Christmas is definitely the time to indulge your sweet tooth. I love it all - low and high end chocolates, I don't play favorites. A friend gave me these funny looking little candies for Christmas from her daughter, who is in my Girl Scout troop. They were fabulous! And simple too. The girls and I set out to make our own tonight. Ingredients - pretzels, Rolos, and M&Ms. The perfect combination of sweet, salty and gooey. Also the perfect project for little hands.


Maggie and I did the prep: unwrap Rolos, eat a Rolo, put one in the bowl for Georgia, and repeat. Georgia was in charge of construction.



300 degrees and 3 minutes later:



YUM! So easy yet so good. Thanks, Amy, for the new chocolate fix!

Sweet dreams my friends. Sweet dreams.

Happy Birthday Brad!

Happy Birthday Dad!
