Riddle

What do you get when you mix 3 packages of cream cheese with 3 cups of powdered sugar?
A MESS!!



So much for wearing an apron!

Beauty and the Beast

Matt and I went to watch a production of Beauty and the Beast that my bro-in-law and two of my nephews were in. It was a community production but I thought it was very impressive. The twins were cast as "Chip" and cloves, and they alternated roles on different nights. It was so cute to see their "bio's" in the program! What cute little actors!
Here is Chip's costume. He got to be wheeled around all night. Pretty cushy!

Here are the cloves.

My bro-in-law played a spoon and a villager. Here he is as a spoon. The lighting is a little (or a lot) off here because he was in the aisle, but this is great!

Villager costume.

Matt and me with my sister during intermission.

Our niece was too young to be in the production, but she was excited to watch the show. And she was super excited to meet Belle and get a rose after the show!

Bring on the Disasters!

Matt and I have been married for over 8 years now, and I've been working on getting my food storage that WHOLE TIME! I've added a little here and there, and moved the whole collection a few times (thanks, Julie) in my quest for the perfect food storage set-up.
Our new house has a marvelous food storage room, complete with built-in shelves for the smaller cans and space for my 5 Superman-proof shelves for the #10 cans.
But I think a food storage just isn't complete without...you guessed it--CHOCOLATE!

I am now happy to report that we finally have our full year's supply! It only took 8+ years. (If anyone wants to come over to look at it and "ooooh" and "aaahh", I'm only too happy to oblige.)

Two-fer!

In making breakfast the other day, I found a two-fer in one of my eggs. Isn't it fun when you get an extra bonus. Kind of like finding a great sale!
