my guy

O and I have taken to doing crafts. He likes the idea but when it comes right down to it, he doesn't understand that there is an end to the project. We recently put together a foam gingerbread house. We had gotten it all put together and I had even let him be in charge of the glue...and then he started ripping all the pieces apart again. But I managed to get him to stop and put things back on so that we could show daddy when he got home from work. Every time we go to a craft store I buy a little, cheap craft and we have a lot of fun doing them. He is really looking forward to making foam ornaments but today we have to back a cake on account of daddy's birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy!

My sister and her family are stars

So my sister loves good food. She is a good cook herself, but like me, of course we like it more if people cook for us. She had an amazing opportunity to have a chef come to her house and cook a Thanksgiving inspired meal for a spread in a local magazine. And the meal was cooked in less than an hour. Apparently, it can be done. So check out the article from the local magazine's website. I can't wait to see the magazine when it comes out!!!! Aren't my nieces so cute!!!! That is little B staring at the food. Sis, maybe you should feed her more...
