Wordless Wednesday - Guess What is Happening Next Week??

I'll give you a hint...

Flowers for Mrs Harris at the Hale

About 4:30 - Scout points out that Princess has 2 tickets for the Hale in PG.

Did we want to go? So I reached out to Princess and happily claimed her tickets. Then Baby Doll wanted to go, so I offered to stay home, but the girls insisted I see if there were any available tickets.

We were able to buy a child's ticket just a couple of rows back. Which is crazy because there were only 2 seats available in the whole house! After intermission, the girls wanted to move up by me and the 2 ladies sitting next to me were happy to switch.

Such a fun night out!

Thanks, Princess and The 🐸!

We are the Champions!

Last Saturday, Skittles' little lesgue football 7-year-olds Scout team won their division championship. We were so proud and happy!

They even played on the actual Hillcrest High school field.

So This Happened

So excited for you Baby Doll! First drive this afternoon...

Passed on the first try.

Guest Blog: Blast from the Past Halloween Costumes by the Dog Walker

 A couple of weeks ago, I looked back on a Facebook post that Drama Queen posted about one fun Halloween activity and the fun costumes that we dressed up in. Back in 2015, I remember that I was dressed up like Bing Bong and Baby Doll was dressed up like Sadness from the movie Inside Out. Drama Queen was even dressed up as Joy, but she didn't post the picture of herself in that costume. The other kids, like Crafty was dressed up as a Bollywood version of Tangled Rapunzel. Scout was dressed as Mal from Descendants and Curly was dressed up as a football player. So here's the little blast from the past of Halloween. I sure miss those times. They always fly by, but at least they're never forgotten.

Happy Birthday, Dog Walker

Dog Walker's birthday was on Tuesday, so we just had to celebrate! I gave him some gifts to open. Most of them were practical and not very fun. He is always a gracious receiver, but there was no question which one he liked best.

Scout met us at Chuck-a-Rama after work and Sport was up for the day, so he came too. Curly missed out because surprisingly, his girlfriend and Dog Walker are birthday twins!

We all enjoy the food and the company even though Sport had to leave quickly for a meeting he had in Provo.

Happy 32nd Birthday, Dog Walker! And many more...

Wordless Wednesday - Yummy in New Jersey

 

Guest Blog: Basketball by Princess

Little Duchess decided she wanted to do a sport this year. She may have settled on basketball simply for the high top shoes …

She really enjoyed it though.

When she took a break during her first game, I asked her if she was having any fun. She responded, “Yes, but I’m really confused.” 

But slowly she got more comfortable. During her second game, she made a buzzer shot and the whole crowd erupted in cheers. That was the only basket she made all season–even in practice. I think a few angels might have blown it in for her.

She had a blast and can’t wait to play again next year!

Rest of the Costume Parade

Such Cuties!

Happy Halloween!

And happy birthday, Bossy!

Happy Halloween!!

Costume parade..

Girl Scout Halloween Cupcakes

My troop is changing. We had another troop roll into ours and that means 3 new girls and two new leaders. We met last week and gave out our troop shirts.

Then we learned some new skills. The girls learned to make and color their own frosting. We had the cupcakes all made before, so that is a lesson for another day.

Check out their super cute cupcakes!

Trunk-or-Treat

We had our annual trunk-or-treat the church last night. We came in with   our dessert and then we enjoyed chili and soup with rolls and yummy treats.

Baby Doll and Curly were in charge of games with the other young men/young women, so they ate quickly and left to help.

Scout and I sat and talked with the missionaries until Dog Walker and K&J arrived. We watched the costume parade and then we helped clean up.

So much fun wasn’t it, Stanley Yelnats?

Now You See Me: Now You Don't Movie Preview

Last Saturday, me and 9 of my best buds enjoyed a magic show, popcorn, and this super fun movie. 

This is part 3 and I had never seen the other two, so last week I had my own little movie marathon. Honestly, I loved all 3 movies. I usually have everything figured out by the middle of the show, but every one of these threw me the perfect curve. The best movies are always the ones that make me think and explore new realities.

I promised I wouldn't give any spoilers, but I think you are really going to enjoy this one. Take some friends, don't forget the popcorn (with LOTS of butter!) and enjoy a little magic.

Still Fall Break

We had another good day. We saw a movie this morning, but I will tell you more about that tomorrow. I made and froze tomato soup. I also made chili verde using the extra enchilada sauce that wouldn't fit in the canner last night. I think the kids actually liked it!

I should have taken some pics, but I was running both recipes at the same time and that kept me so busy. I even roasted my own garlic!

Sport is rearranging and changing the garage so he can work on a car inside where it is warm.

Baby Doll looked nothing like a baby in her pirate costume Scout created for her. She took Bossy's boys for tricks or treats at the 55+ housing.

And Skittles's scout football team won their playoff game today so next week they are in the championship!! Go Bingham!

Talk soon...
