Molly Morman

Ok so I am playing Molly Morman today. 1st the egg seeds and now Peppermint swizzle sticks ( I had lots of broken peppermints and candy canes from the parade).

We are having Enrichment Night tommorow with a tasters table. I couldn't decide what to do and finally I came across this in Better Homes and Garden.

1. Marshmallow

2. dip half of marshmallow in mixture of 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 3-4 teaspoons of water.


3. finely chop peppermint/candy canes. I used my hand chopper.

4. Dip wet marshmallow in crushed peppermint.

5. Let stand.

6. Poke with a toothpick and use in your hot chocolate. YUM!!!!

Family Home Evening.

Ok so I ripped this off from one of the Dickinsons blog. We were given some seeds from a customer and so I thought we will take a wack at it. We planted the seeds in the egg shells. 1st we poked holes in the bottom of the shells then filled them half way with soil. Then we put the seeds in and filled them the rest of the way. Last we watered them and wrapped them with plastic wrap. When it is time to plant them outside after the last frost we just put them in the ground, shell and all. Pretty cool well update you on the flower situation later.

Christmas Parade in Redmond.

So I only got a couple of pictures and then got into trying to get Carson to run for the candy. Unless the candy was right at his feet he wouldn't get it. Then we realized that he was standing over Megan's candy bag. Why would he have to run for it when Megan was bringing it to him? It was great weather and the kids had so much fun. I think the best float was the Redmond Police. They had the Grinch in a Jail cell on the back of their float. Yah Christmas is saved.

Gold Canyon Candles

I have been selling Gold Canyon Candles for a little less than a year. They are the best smelling candles I have found.

Thanksgiving

So this year we stayed home all by ourselves. It was so nice. We woke up and I put the Turkey in the oven. Then we went to the kids gradeschool to play Football with a bunch of people from Church. Trent and his friends kind of started their own game of tackle football. The touch game was a lot of people with girls and little kids.

Then we went home and we all sat in the hot tub for awhile and warmed up.

When we got out the Turkey was already done (dang the convection roast feature).

So me and Trent worked real fast to get everything else ready.

After we ate at 3:00 we spent the rest of the day hanging out. And over course cleaning up after Thanksgiving. I had to clean out the fridge, because this year I actually defrosted the Turkey in the Fridge ( I have never been organized enough to do that). Normally I just defrost the Turkey in the sink in water. So the Turkey bleed all over the fridge YUCK!!! By 5:30 I think I was finally done cleaning the fridge, kitchen, and had done 2 loads in the dishwasher. I was so tired after that I got the kids to watch Harry and the Henderson and I feel asleep with Ashley laying on me.

All in all it was the most relaxed Thanksgiving I remember.

Now what do we do with the rest of the weekend?

Megan's Pictures

We had Megans pictures taken for her baptisim program. The rest of the family is soon to be following we just have not had the time to get together with my friend Somerlie.


Megan 3rd Grade 9/08

Carson

So Carson is pretty comical. His new jokes are "Have you ever seen a chicken walking a chicken?" He just changes the subject each time. Chicken, car, and dog are his favorite. He'll tell his joke over and over. As long as you keep listening.
