The Daisy meeting went well - the girls LOVED gluing those little foam pieces to paper. I picked up McD's for the kidlets tonight. I still had to pack Moira's stuff for this 2 night trip to Auntie B's house. Olivia is sacked out and I am enjoying the peace and quiet! Ahhhhhh! Blogging and watching luge... can it get any better?
The Friday Five 1. What was the first thing you ever cooked? Gosh - I remember baking with my Nana when I was pretty little (5 or 6). The first thing I made on my own was probably pancakes. 2. What's your signature dish? Roast Chicken. Paul swears I make the best chicken. 3. Ever had a cooking disaster? (tasted like crap, didn't work, etc.) Describe. Hmm - the time I made dinner for my soon to be inlaws, I burned it AND it tasted like crap. Thankfully, they were pretty nice about it. 4. If skill and money were no object, what would make for your dream meal? Wow - that's a tough one... something with a perfect cut of beef. No mushrooms. Ever. 5. What are you doing this weekend? Well, Moira will be at my sis in law's place for the next 2 days. The 3 of us might head over to the aquarium on Saturday then go out to lunch. I also have to go food shopping. On Sunday, I am in charge of Sunday School.
Moira will be spending the next couple of days out in Malvern, Pa with my Sister in Law. Woohoo! Life is good!
Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Daaaavid Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuuu!
I had ordered a bunch of craft items from Oriental Trading. My order arrived yesterday. One of the items I had ordered was 1,000 pieces of 1/4 inch foam squares. They're good for making mosaic pictures, etc... I had ordered 4 packages of foam squares (4,000 squares). When I opened the box, I saw the foam squares, neatly packaged. Each color was in a large foam sheet. Meaning - I would have to open each package and pull apart the 1/4 inch foam squares. At least they were already precut ::sigh:: 8 foam sheets per package in rows of 11x12. 132 tiny squares per sheet. Multiply that by 8. 132 foam squares in each color. Multiplied by 8 sheets per package and there is 1056. AND - I opened 3 packages. Grand total of tiny squares is 3,168. Oh, and please don't forget Olivia "helping" me by grabbing handfuls of these tiny squares and attemping to race away, giggling. Should be loads of fun when 13 5-6 year olds get a hold of these!
