Christmas Mittens

I have posted before how I love to paint pottery. Well, I'm working on making Ashley's teachers a Christmas tree ornament. I think these turned out really good. (of coarse I'll find some sort of flaw, but I'm learning to let that go!) These are sooooo much fun to make.

MOMMY TIME

Well, you are probably expecting me to talk about me and my kids. Right?............

Wrong! I got to spend time with MY MOM today. Me and Charlie went to my Mom and Dad's house this am and spent most of the day with her. We got to see my Dad too. I don't get to see my parents quit as often as I wish I could. With me working on Saturday and Sunday being so busy. My mom has always been my best friend and I'm so lucky to have her in my life. I look forward to the next time I GET MOMMY TIME!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY........

We would like to wish a Happy Birthday to My Mother-in-law, Henry's MOM and My Kids Grandma, Gayle. We all hope you have a GREAT birthday.

Love: Henry, Jana, Ashley and Charlie

This Kid is Dangerous!

Well, he's done it again. This child has more injuries than my last child.

His poor head and face. Well, Sunday he was riding his little school bus ride on toy having a fun time. Then, BOOM we heard it. He was definitely hurt not mad. Went to pick him up and yep, blood this time. He fell off and hit his eye on his metal Tonka truck he got for Christmas last year. (Yes I know accidents happen Darenda you know we don't blame you!!) :) :) But his cry was short lived and he'll recover nicely! Here is the shinner and his big sis. She really loves this little guy.

What's for Dinner Tonight?

Well I thought I would post what's for dinner tonight and my recipe for Tuesday early. Tuesday's have become a little busy for me. I've been working and Ashley has started volleyball again, and I've been trying to go to the pottery painting place to work on teacher's gifts for Christmas. Yes I said Christmas, it will be her really soon for those of you who haven't been preparing! So here is our dinner tonight!

Meat loaf- I use 1 lb of ground beef or ground turkey, 1 small can of tomato sauce, 1 egg and Italian bread crumbs. salt and pepper. I bake this at 350 for an hour ( or til Henry comes home)

Mashed Potatoes

Hoppin John ( I think is what is is called?) It is a can of black eyed peas drained and rinsed and a can of rotel. I love this so much. It is a new twist on black eyed peas.

French bread

For desert I made a cream cheese pound cake. I'll post that recipe next week or later on in the week.
