Bunco and friends what a great combination.

Well Friday night was Bunco night (8-8-08), so I made an ice cream cake and a new green bean recipe I have come up with. I know it sounds like an odd combo, but I am trying to eat healthier so I brought the green beans for me and the ice cream for everyone else. They both turned out good and I got a lot of compliments and requests for the recipe for my green beans. So anyway I started out with a bang and won my 1st 7 games and I thought "oh goody", I can win the most wins category but of course as soon as you start thinking that i started loosing a couple but I pulled it out in the end and won 15.00. Then one of the other gals was heading to the casino so I tagged along and put my 15.00 down at the 21 table and ended walking out of there with 45.00. I know some of you are woowho 45.00 big wup but considering I started out with 5.00 that's not to bad for the night. I am a very low stakes gambler.

So then on Sat we had our friends Steve and Rachelle and their boy and a nephew over for dinner. It was nice to have them over we had Salmon which turned out delicious but unfortunately did not make up as much as I had thought, so everybody only got 1 serving. But they brought over some pie so we had a nice desert to end the night. Also we got out the wii and all the boys (big and little) did some boxing.

A day at the fair.

Image
We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good gift frenzy.

Merry Christmas or at least merry Christmas eve. Bug is sleeping in this morning so I figured I would catch up on my blogging. Everything is basically ready around here. I do need to go pick up a few food items but other than that everything is done. Of course just as a I write that i think of 5 other things I need to do: wrap a couple more presents, stuff some stockings, get a goody tray ready for Blue's work, etc.... We will be having Christmas at our house tomorrow, the only downer is that Blue has to work today and tomorrow. You gotta love the transit system around here, (he is a bus driver, if I haven't mentioned that before). So today we will run around and finish things up, then go to our Christmas Eve Church Service at 5. Then when Blue gets home we will cook up some pizza and after dinner we will open our stockings. In the morning we will just be hanging out until he gets home around 1 then we will have a nice lunch/brunch and then the gift frenzy will begin. Actually

No Bug for the week

This week Bug is going to a VBS at a local church, it runs from 9-3. Which is very nice in a way but also very strange. I took him in this morning and hung out with him for a few minutes while he got adjusted, then I went to the grocery store. Which was all fine but when I had to pass back by the church to head home it felt weird not having him, then all day at home I went back and forth between enjoying my time getting things done around the house and checking to see if it was time to pick him up yet. I got there to pick him up about 15 min early and waited around anxiously, when he finally came out he looked so tired, he seemed to have a good time but he did say "they sang for HOOUURRRS" and did not get to go out and play on the playground, but he is looking forward to going back tomorrow. This will be a strange week without him home all day. But it will be good practice for him because he will be going to a campfire day camp in a couple of weeks where he will be picked up
