Snow day

It is another snow day and that means all three kids at home while Taylor is trying to sleep cause it is his second day on mids.

Boston's friend invited us to go sledding at a school nearby. She had a ton of sleds that they could use, so we did. It was GREAT!

Both Brody and Boston love sledding. More than i thought they would, so that means i have to go out and get some sleds of our own......

Brynden hates sledding. He tried twice and cried both times :(

Frantic Valentine

Bostons valentines party for school, that i am in charge of is THURSDAY. I just got the info today (MONDAY) which gives me four days to plan and pick up supplies for a game, a craft and prepare his valentine cards to be given out.


Of course you think, Why april, didnt you plan ahead. well to those meanies i say, I DID! I called Bostons teacher weeks ago to figure this out and she said she would let me know when it got closer. But four days is a bit too close.


ALthough i am putting this on her, I would have procrastinated had she told me back in december :)


the good thing is the internet is a reliable tool for planning these events. Within the hour i had planned both the craft and the game. Now all that is left are the supplies and the valentines to be written out.


Still a bit frantic though

Clean

I am CLEAN, every WHIT!!

Gotta love the temple, the joy it brings, the comfort and release of tension.

I went in today, and everything was going wrong.

I forgot my recommend (and it was expired in Jan 2010 anyway)

My phone died

My car was thisclose to being out of gas

I was super lost!!!!

I finally get there, we go through the youth items and i get the urging to do some work. So i asked my greatest pal Catherine to pick her hubby up late and do some work with me. She said yes, so we did, and it was GREAT!

all that tension i was carrying around on my shoulders was lifted. I was at peace and happy.

Hungry = Skinny

I am convinced that to be skinny you must be hungry. Even if you workout, and watch calories, and control your intake, i am convinced that nothing means its working like those hunger pains......

More on my impromptu study to come....

Kablooey!!!

The title says it all. Kablooey, explosion, blown up all very graphic words. This describes my pyrex dish saturday night.

Let me fill you in on my explosion. We had invited a couple over for dinner. I was making a ham dinner with mashed potatoes and veggies. Catherine was going to bring the dinner rolls, and i had made a peach pie. sounds yummy huh??

I put the ham in the oven and set it to bake at 350, unbeknownst to me, Brynden had walked by after me, and upped the temp to BROIL. The ham cooked like this for approx half an hour. and then there was a crash that sounded like something breaking. Boston comes rushing out and asks what happened. I responded by saying i dont know, what did you guys do?? He said, nothing. All scintillating conversation right?

Okay well, i look around the kitchen, i see nothing out of place. i walk back to the computer sit down and then i start smelling the ham, it was burning.

I rush into the kitchen open the oven and i see my ham, wrapped in foil and not in its dish. The dish was in pieces, like a MILLION pieces!! All over the oven, crunching together as i opened the oven door, it was a mess.

No pictures taken, it was too much of a madhouse, trying to finish dinner, and clean the oven, throw all the glass away from a 9x9 pan. Catherine thinks that Pyrex might have had a stamp on the bottom of the pan stating, do not broil. Sadly i do not know if that is true since the pyrex dish in question went kablooey in my oven.  Luckily it was safety glass so no cuts.

BTW the dinner turned out great!
