Today was a rough day that ended in a wonderful way when Dog Walker and Cat Lover brought in 5 homemade pies they put together in their very own kitchen and cooked in their own little oven. It made me so happy to see them using their resources and making something fun to share with everyone.
I had to giggle a bit when I asked him about the pudding pies and was told that he didn't have a blender in his apartment so he had to make them using snack pack pudding and scooping it from the little cups into the premade crust.
Such a resourceful guy... happy Pi Day.

Cave Tools are Perfect for Pi Day
You know my life gets a little hectic now and then. So even though today is officially Pi Day (or 3.14), we couldn't manage to have much of a celebration with everyone running different directions. Instead, we got most of the family together on Sunday to share a meal and of course eat pie.
Since we have had such beautiful weather, my sweetie opted to make barbecued chicken outside on the grill, which worked perfectly with the fact that I had an opportunity to review another Cave Tool product. I love pretty much all of their stuff, but this is one of my favorites; the Complete Grill Set.
It comes with three different pieces, the spatula, the fork, and the tongs, all of which will likely be the best you have ever used. My sweetie's favorite are the tongs, because he can easily grab and lift any size piece of meat and still keep his hand far away from the heat. I like the spatula, but I mostly use it inside for flipping cookies and french toast.
They are all heavy duty and I just throw them in the dishwasher in the top rack since they are too tall to fit in my utensil holder. You know, Spring is coming and you will definitely need something nice for yourself from the Easter Bunny and to sweeten the deal, you know I can hook you up with a discount if you order directly from Cave Tools. Just use coupon code GRILLSET15 to save 15%.
Or if you would rather use Amazon, they are available there by clicking this link.
Happy grilling, everyone! And happy Pi Day!

Drama Queen to the Rescue
Drama Queen has Mondays off, so she came over this morning and spent the entire day with me. It was so nice to hang around with her again, even if we were busy running errands. It was a quick trip to Sam's Club and then a run to the Girl Scout Council to pick up 15 more cases of cookies. (I know, but they offered me a $50 bonus if I would take them! Just for the record, my sweetie offered me $50 if I wouldn't...)
No, seriously, he is so supportive! We spent most of Saturday out delivering cookies and then we headed out about 6:30 tonight when Baby Doll got home from dance. We have been making great progress, but I still want to get most of them delivered before the booths start this weekend.
But I digress...
Drama Queen and I picked up Cat Lover from work and then we stopped by WalMart to grab a few things. It was fun to find Dog Walker and let him have 30 seconds to hug and kiss his wife. Then my amazing Drama Queen took me to the Maverik, filled up my car with gas, and once we got home, she unloaded all the groceries for me and made dinner while I took Scout to the chiropractor and did a quick workout at Curves.
She ate dinner with us before she headed home to take care of her own house and life. I just love Mondays.

Hello Girl Scout Week
It is the beginning of Girl Scout Week; did you know that? Our council gave us t-shirts and patches if we would do something fun to celebrate girls and women, so last Friday we had a resume and scholarship fair for the older girls and some fun sensory activities for the little ones.
Li'l Sis handled the resume writing part of things and Prima Donna was in charge of the little girls. She was helping them earn the senses badge, so they started playing games in the yard (we had beautiful weather!) and then they came inside to smell some extracts before turning them into frosting for cupcakes so they could taste them.
Now Prima Donna is great with kids, but for some reason, she didn't learn one simple truth from the Cupcake Club about making frosting. DON'T TURN ON THE MIXER BEFORE ADDING THE MILK!!
Now in her defense, it wasn't actually her fingers that flipped the switch to high, effectively sending a shower of powdered sugar all over the girls and all over my kitchen, but she was definitely in charge. Fortunately, things cleaned up quickly and all is well.
We just love these life lessons we learn in our awesome scout troop!
Happy Girl Scout Week everyone.
