So I Was Just Thinking

We made pizzas this week. My blog friend Hilde Iren posted on Facebook that she was enjoying her Saturday and that she would be making pizza. It made me want to make pizzas, too. So when Caitlin and I came home from dance practice, we stopped at the grocery store for pizza fixings. The kids had a nice time making dinner. James doesn't care for cheese decided that he didn't want to have any on his part of the pizza. It made the final result look funny, but he ate it and that's the important part. Now if I can just get him to like some veggies. I, on the other hand, had a veggie pizza. I also limited the amount of cheese that went on my pizza. James helped make mine, too. The kids' pizza went in first. It was only after I was putting mine in the oven that I realized that Caitlin had only put the temperature up to 400°F instead of 425°F. This made the center of theirs a little softer than I would like, but they ate it. James wants to make an...

It was tasty

Yesterday was unreal! We had the biggest rainstorm ever. Well, maybe not EVER but pretty darn close. Hurricane Hermine hit the Gulf Coast sending its wind and rain northward to our sleepy little Central Texas town 6 hours away. To give you a deeper understanding...8 to 12 inches fell across the area; bridges were covered; rivers and creeks were swollen to the point that trailer homes were knocked off their bases.

That meant Caitlin didn't have to be at school until 10:00 and I didn't have to be at school until 9:00. Gary and...

Since school started, I have made James a breakfast of scrambled eggs and toaster waffles everyday. This morning I thought I would make the real thing. I had trouble finding the waffle maker at first. Then Gary said, is that it? I was standing right in front of it. Everyone got one of these: They couldn't make up their mind to be round or square. I turned mine into: Yummy! Later in the day, we all went to see the re-release of Avatar in 3D. My mother even came. James sportin' the glasses & Cait passing time 'til the flick starts It was just as good as the first time. My husband hadn't seen it before. I think the 3D business gave him a headache. When we got home, I made dinner of smoked sausage, potatoes & onions and peas & carrots. It was delicious and easy to make. You just need polish or smoked sausage, red potatoes and a Vidalia onion.
