The Weekend

Duke and the Great Pie war was the entertainment choice of the day. Can you tell we have children? That and Daniel Boone. "The extras" came today. "The Extras" are two children , very good ones I might add, that we keep on Tuesday while their mom's are in Bible study. As we did last week, we beaded. All the kids seem to love that.


Today has been a cookingest day. For luch I concocted (this blog post has been interrupted by a family walk) a potato and mixed vegetable dish with cheese sauce and cheese on top. Twas wonderful. The 12x9 Pyrex was empty after lunch and my mid afternoon snack. It never made it into the freightor. Thank you mommy for finishing my sauce! She made it deliciouso. Then after some math I made a upside down apple ginger bread/cake. Tis yummy as well.

How glad am I that when I needed to go this thing save, without posting, my post as a draft. "I'm lovin' it" to quote McDonald's.

Play practice was last night. Twas fun but nothing to write home about. Ummm.... My table didn't get to do our experiment at Chemistry. What is up with that? Really I don't care. I am much more of a lecture girl than actually performing experiments.

Friday! I had a blast with Britter Bear and Lou~La~Belle at BB's house. The guys were kicked out so that the girls could hang. We took pictures and play the piano a bunch and to wind down we watched "Ever After". BB fell asleep after 5 minutes lying on the pallet. LLB and I stayed up through the whole thing. I think it was around 2ish when we fell asleep. Truth be told, I don't think I would have remembered the movie had it not been one that I had seen many times.
So after waking at 8:45 the next morning and having wonderful sausage gravy on real bread toast, we all got dolled up with the intention of going to the park for more photo ops, then left the house around 12(?). As it turns out we nixed the picture and just shopped. Goodwill, Jill's, My best friend's closet, NBC, and Payless all were the benefactors of at least a smile and some noise. I found some jeans and a blue dress while we were out. Cool beans.

I must mention the food of our girls night/day. Friday night I made this Asian style cabbage dish that was spicy. I, quite frankly, like to feel my mouth after three bites of my food but others I know, don't seem to mind being numb. BB and LLB set their mouths aflame with rooster sauce. BB's stove heats things very quickly. I found out the hard way when I sent many, many little mustard seeds flying through the air like popcorn. Thankfully they are easily clean up. Ms. Mary bought us cappuccino chunky chocolate ice cream and then as soon as we got in the house proceeded to eat it. It is LLB's favorite kind of ice cream. BB made homemade banana ice cream with honey twas wonderful.

I think the most fun part of the entire girls weekend was the teasing of Lou~La~Bell and her guy. Yes, I am a mean sister but they just smile at me when I say things to them. BB and I would "mock" them as we followed here and there. "I'll hold your hand!" said BB, and proceeded to hang on her brother..... while we were in Braum's. Ya'll please know that if they truly cared we wouldn't do it. But what else are little sisters for?

Have you noticed that I rarely compose short posts? I think I am done for tonight. Does all this bore you? What would you have me post about?

Love in Jesus
