My friend, Malinda, and her boys came over on Saturday for appetizers and a movie. While the big kids played out side and in the playroom we watched the 3rd of 4 Nora Roberts movie that Lifetime has been playing. You all know I'm a big fan of Nora's books. This is the second year Lifetime has had their Nora Roberts event. Strangely enough I have not read any of the books they made into movies this year. So I've really been enjoying the movies so far.
Here are 2 pics of the kids. Chucky, Rye & Austin. Check out Jo in the background of the 1st one, hilarious. I let them make funny faces in the second one. boys are so much harder to get photos of than girls. Sheesh
These are some homemade donut holes I made for dessert. I bought a Fry Daddy just for the occasion. I've made them about 4 times since Saturday. Haha. They're just refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, quartered and rolled into balls, then rolled in cinnamon sugar. They are AWESOME.
Hot Pizza dip I made. It turned out kinda watery cuz I had to use spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce. It was super yummy.
Buffalo Chicken Dip. Thanks to my sister in law, Michelle, for this recipe. It was so good. I made it again the next day.
I prolly should have taken the pictures before we dug into them. Next time.
edited: because my sister has to point out every small miss-spelling, even though she knows what it means.
She was sick of them by this point. Hehe. The next post it her post pigtails, with her hair ALL CRAZY!
side note: You all know my laugh. The one that almost sounds donkey-esqe. Jo does the same thing. I love that there's something of me in there. I'm going to try and get it on video or maybe save it to my phone and use it as a ring tone. Haha.
Our neighbor, Lisa, put together an Egg hunt for those of us that share back yards/playgrounds. It was so nice of her. The girls had a really good time and we all got a little color that day.
I felt like such a bad Mommy when she fell down the 'rock steps' (the ones she's climbed up tons of times with no problems, I might add. But all those times I was standing right there.). She had the nasty rubber floor stuff in her mouth and everything. She was fine 5 seconds later. I, on the other hand, will be feeling guilty at least until it heals up and goes away.
She loves trying to open the door herself. Check out that look of concentration in the reflection. She even shoved a waffle in her mouth to free up her hand.
No hat while at the park, that's strictly for traveling. It's all about the accessories baby.
She loves the slides and sticking out her tongue. She's always doing this. It cracks me up.
Playing 'I see you' with me.
Making a little music while sipping on some milk. That's what Opree calls multi-tasking.
Dancing her way over to the swings. She loves these too. Though after the first day she tends to get in then wants right out. 
She found this bridge at the end. Scares the bugeezus out of me.
She's so smart she already knows how to use an abacus. 
There they are. Not much else going on here. Just counting down the days until Eric comes home.
