Back to Work

Well I had a very nice Thanksgiving. Grandpa and Christian and I cooked a bunch, and I started knitting a pair of fuchsia colored sparkle slippers. We were silly enough to go to JoAnn Fabric on Black Friday. Bad idea! The lines were insanely long and it seemed like everyone was at the craft store!!! Fortunately, the yarn that I bought was on sale for a buck a skein so that sort of made up for the long wait. Dad also got an iPod charger at Circuit City to replace my missing one. I am finally back to Celtic Woman and Flamenco Guitar!!! I also discovered my new favorite sandwich combination. Cranberry sauce and turkey on French bread. That stuff is good! Not extremely healthy, but good! 😀

Right now I am reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. I find it funny that I’d never read it before (Though I’d seen the animated movie Treasure Planet when I was little), but better late than never as they say! It’s a great book. The classic pirate adventure story.

Now it’s back to homeschool and exercising and all that fun stuff. This Friday most of the ladies from our meeting are coming over for a cookie exchange, so that’s another thing to keep us busy! I really can’t wait!! I think I found a good recipe: Peanut butter cookies with a Hershey kiss in the middle. Mom might make pineapple empanadas too!

Meeting and Bananas Foster Flambé

We had a wonderful day yesterday.  After meeting Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah took us out to Red Robin with Troy and Youngin for a hamburger.  Troy and I talked engineering and school topics while Dad and the women laughed and laughed.  Incidentally, Troy and Youngin have started a blog.  You can see it here.  Christian was a little under the weather, so he was quieter than normal.  Before we went to meeting I took a picture.


Ready for meeting

Then, after a GREAT nap, Grandpa Milo showed the kids how to make Bananas Foster.  Here is a picture and a video of that exciting event.
