Birthday Lunch Treat

It's the 2nd Wednesday of the month so that means it's Birthday Lunch! This time I made a peanut butter pie. Actually, I made two last night so that Barry can take one for his company picnic on Thursday.

We're also planning on making this for our Communinity Group on Sunday.

That's lots of peanut butter pies! :)

Owl

A friend of mine is having a birthday and I wanted to have something homemade in her gift. I know she likes owls so I made this. The owl's body is made of felt. I stitched on it for the wings, eyes, etc. and then did a blanket stitch around the body to adhere it to the cloth. I also stuffed a little batting in between so that it stood out a little bit.

What do you think? It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Roses

We did our big grocery shopping on Saturday and had a great find! Since Mother's Day was Sunday, all their bouquets were half off. We got this lovely bunch of roses for $5. They have been opening up and look fantastic!

We found some other deals too, but I'll save that for another day.

Happy Birthday, Rick!

It's my boss's birthday next week, but he's going to be out of the office on assignment.  I'm going to give this card to him tomorrow.  He really likes Alabama, so I used Alabama red and when I wrote Happy Birthday, the As are like Alabama As.  I put 3 silver brads up in the black square.  I'm really liking this rectangle design!

When you eat your Smarties...

Have you heard the jingle:

"When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?
Do you suck them very slowly,
Or crunch them very fast?
Eat that candy-coated chocolate,
But tell me when I ask,
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?"

We just came back from a trip to Canada and one of the things that we got was a bag of Nestle brand candy that you can't get in the U.S. I've had this song running through my head all week and thought I'd take the opportunity to share it. These are sort of like M & Ms but the candy coating tastes different. You should try them some time!

Soccer Time

One of the last things we did before heading back to Tennessee was attend Brianna's soccer game. Here she is in the middle (#3). It was a nicer day but windy. Her team showed a lot of skill. The other team scored first, but Bree's team came back and scored 6 unanswered points. Go Team Hamburg!!!

Chuck E. Cheese Fun!

The kids didn't have school on Friday due to an in-service day so we took them to Chuck E. Cheese! It was a fun time. I really wanted to get enough tickets to get cotton candy. I almost had enough, but when we all chipped in our tickets, one of the kids let me use 22 of theirs!
