Yum, Yum!

Recently, I made some delicious soup and these awesome biscuits!

Tortellini soup!

7-Up biscuits!

The tortellini soup was really good and really simple. I got the recipe from here.

The biscuits were so good I made them twice in one weekend. I think I read they are a knock-off of Popeye's biscuits. I don't know, but they were so good!

And just for grins...

Emily came in the kitchen dressed up like this the other day! This girl is so silly!

Ethan and his balloon sword!

We went to our bank's Christmas party, and Ethan stood in line for almost an hour to get this balloon sword. He was awfully proud!

Visiting Santa!

They kids saw Santa the other week. Their wishes?  Ethan asked for a remote controlled truck. Emily asked for a Justin Bieber doll.

I also took the kids pictures for our Christmas cards. Here are a few!

Here is my favorite ornament that my hubby got me the year our Max died. I love it!

Lord, Help Me!

Remember when I was ranting talking about my little girls love for Justin Bieber? If not, you can read it here.

I found this in my little ladybug's room this morning!

Yes, this is her handwriting! She tried to throw if away after I saw it, but I dug it out of the trash to take a picture! She's only 5! Lord, Help Me!

Thanksgiving, Pt. 2

We had a great Thanksgiving! We had lunch at my parent's house on Thanksgiving Day.

Brisket! Yum!!

Nap time!

Emily on the way to Waco the next day! She sure is telling me about something! By the way, it was cold and rainy. Why she is wearing my sun glasses, I don't know.

The Hub getting gas for the trip!

The kids were excited to see their cousin, Angelina!

It was really a great day. I was expecting lots of bickering with each other from the kids (like usual)! But the kids were on their best behavior! They played hard at their MeMe's house and were very well behaved on the way home. I was very happy and very thankful!

Thanksgiving, Pt. 1

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Truth is, I just haven't felt like it. Work has been stressful, Ethan's behavior hasn't been the best and lots going on with other activities. But, I hope to get back in the swing of things.

Here's a wrap up of what we've been up to.

Our church hosted our annual Harvest Festival.

We had the Master Peace Quartet come and sing. They were great.

A few of our friends from our old church came and visited.

It was so good to see them again!

My little pilgrim had her kindergarten program.

Emily with her wonderful teacher!

The whole family had a great night!

Revenge Of The Nerd

The week before Halloween, the kids school had a week dedicated to different themes about saying NO to drugs. You know, like "Put a cap on drugs" where the kids could wear hats to school, and so on. One day, they had "Outsmart drugs, dress like a nerd" day!

Ethan didn't want to dress up, but Emily was excited to! Here are a few pics I took that morning.

Also, she woke up with pink eye in her right eye and couldn't go to school this particular day. She was so disappointed, so I dressed her up anyway to take her picture!

Halloween catch up!

Holy Cow! What a week I've had.

I'm gonna try and catch up with Halloween pics.

Here is Emily's iron-on I ordered off of Etsy.

Here's the shirt after I put the iron-on it!

I managed to make some ghost cookies for my kids after school program Halloween party.

Emily's class goodies I put together.

Ethan's Halloween breakfast included orange eggs & milk, and pumpkin & ghost toast.

I ordered the iron-ons from here! They are so cute and really easy to apply to shirts!
