Yummy!!!

These are "Scrapies" as our friend Joe's mom calls them.. they are all the scraps left from the pie crust I used on tonight's quiche. I sprinkled cinnamon & sugar all over them before baking... We actually ate them BEFORE dinner! We being Me, Daniel & Naomi. Shhhhh... Don't tell Glenn! He never saw them! We were waiting for him to get home to start eating dinner & we could not help ourselves! :) Sorry honey!

This was dinner & it was so good! I made a zucchini and goat cheese quiche. Of course, I had to make it fun for the kids to want to eat it... so I made stars out of pie crust and placed them on top!

I am in a food mood... There has been a whole lot of cooking going on around here... It's a good thing Thanksgiving is right around the corner!

A Dollar A Comment!!!!

There are some amazing things happening with Starfish Cleft Foster Home.... I have their site linked on my sidebar. Please stop by and see all the precious babies in China, with cleft palates that they are helping.

Amy, whose blog you can visit HERE... will donate $1.00 for every comment that anyone leaves on her blog, under her "Thanksgiving post." All you have to do is comment on what you are thankful for!

Will you take a few moments to help these sweet children?

Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you, Amy!!!!!

Feeling thankful...

I saw this cute idea online...

(Click HERE to see the website)

...and decided to do something to get my kids in the right frame of mind for Thanksgiving. Our goal is to fill our jar with blessings and things we are thankful for by Thanksgiving!
The kids had fun helping me dye the noodles... and I am thinking it will be fun to let them make necklaces and some art projects with all the noodles while we are cooking Thanksgiving dinner! It will keep them busy for a few minutes anyway!

11/11/07... A day I will never forget!

Two years ago, we were blessed with our daughter Naomi. I can not begin to put into words how God has worked in the last couple years, other than to show you pictures of our beautiful girl. She is a light and a joy to us. We delight in her strong nature and will, her hearty giggle and very stubborn streak. Naomi has taught me so much in the last two years... Here is just a tiny glimpse at the beauty of our sweet girl!

Trick or treats...

Mummies and bats!

I really don't see how you can go wrong with googly eyes and chocolate! At least not in my house!

Feeling "batty"

I have been home sick with some sort of flu for over a week... and I am going "batty." I was bored and began looking up fun ideas for kids crafts and holiday decorations! The kids loved this one!

All you do is cut out black bats and tape them on to the inside of the lightshade. When the light is off, you can't even tell they are there! :) It is very cute! The look I got from Glenn as I was sitting on the couch cutting out bats, while the kids were asleep was pure crazy... Oh well! It was a great surprise when they flipped on the light this morning!

Can you tell the difference?

Fake smiles... They are tired of Mommy taking "just one more picture!"

NOT fake smiles... They are laughing at Mommy who tripped on a pumpkin vine, and thinking "Yes! Now, maybe we will be done with all these pictures!"
