Jack O Lantern Sloppy Joes

In mid October Rose and Ansley each made a Jack O Lantern Sloppy Joe for their families supper.

Here they are cutting in the butter for the pie crust.

Yes, they cut it in the old fashion way.

7 hours of Jumping Fun

Yep that's right, Rose spent seven hours jumping, sliding, and climbing at Monkey Joes one Saturday. I dropped her and daddy off while I went to a healthy cooking class .....My class went way over.....I came back 6 hrs later she was still going strong and we stayed an additional hour. She had a blast! And what a fabulous daddy to watch her play all day along.

Pot Luck .....International Style

Last month we had a get together with some of Chad's colleagues at our house. We always enjoy getting together with this group of people. We had a pot luck style event.

Here is the table before the get together of some of the foods I prepared.

Here is a table shot during the get together. These are Chinese Mooncakes. Pastries with egg yolks in them. We had people from China, Korea, India, Canada, and Utah represented.
