Jen ~ YES - the bee's were one of your favorites also. Along with the Darth Vader, Stage Coach, Pink Panther, etc.
I would love to take credit for the cookies but they were premade. Our youth group sold them as a fund raiser. They were boxed, frozen and pre cut. So neat, cuz you can just bake a few at a time.
Well it's Wednesday and only 3 more days till I leave for vacation. WooHoo!!! I have a lot to get done - but I will prevail. I WILL!! I can't wait. Matthew will be home Saturday afternoon after he gets off at the bank. He is just as excited as we are. The girls aren't going this year - Elizabeth is too close to having the baby and Marty used all his vacation when we went to Panama. So it will be just the 3 of us. But Doug's Sister and family are going, so we will caravan down with them. Again - I can't wait!!!
WFDT ~ American Chop Suey, roasted corn, green salad and rye bread.
Make it a great day my friends.
Tonight we are having beef and bean tostadas.
The kids are really excited for this...anything with beans and they are
But my kids had a blast. Tomorrow and Friday will be paperwork days. 
But, at least it's almost over.
Dinner tonight was half a turkey wrap sandwich left over from lunch and a thirdbof a bag of goldfish crackers, a bottle of water.
I am on the train back home. I can't wait to get there.
It is all or nothing here.
WOW You can stop at a 1/3 of a bag.

OMG. I snorted, I think.
Brandi...hurry and get home!
I'm so sorry, darlin'. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help. Feel free to vent on this thread. You know we are all here for you!
I only had that much left over from lunch.... But at lunch I stopped at two thirds of a bag.
Morning, all!
I am feeling crud-tastic this morning. I feel a lot better during the day, but first thing in the morning, I am a coughing, drainage-y mess. I plan on going to the doctor in the morning. I had plans to make vegetable soup with mini-meatballs today but I'm just going to rest. We had enough leftover chili for Scott to have a meal so I'm not cooking today at all.
After realizing that NEXT WEEK is Thanksgiving, I really got down to business solving my breakfast problem. Here's what we're having now:
Baked French toast casserole with Maple Syrup*
Fruit salad (hee hee, ready-made from Publix; I'm cheating on this one)
Sausage patties
Coffee, tea, milk and juice (Scott, Amanda, my FIL and I all drink coffee. Kevin is loudly anti-coffee [it's really annoying] so I always make him a pot of hot tea, and milk/juice for something cold, as well as 2 things for Ryan to choose from)
I remembered that last year I had way too much food, so I decided to scale back. The casserole I can make the day before and the oven doesn't have to be on high for a long period of time. Making sausage for a group is no big deal, no to mention I can put the prepared patties on a plate in the oven to keep them warm.
What do you guys all think? Sound ok?
) UncleR has a baked french toast casserole that has cream cheese between the layers and oh my gawd it's good! I'd also love your sausage recipe when you get the chance!
) I have to trap a squirrel and cook it. No idea where that came from but there we go. Anyway, Buddy has invested in two cameras and sent Marisa looking for 8 GB memory cards. She convinced him that was overkill and talked him down to 4 GB's. He also has a tree stand which he never bothered with before, a gynormous bag filled with stuff and another new jacket for those long days out there. He aired te thing out for two days but has forgotten that I wash the rest of his clothes and they smell like lavender/vanilla 
Kady loves any kind of beans too. She says they are like potatoes, good Irish Girl that she isTonight we are having beef and bean tostadas.

Writing at christmas is my once a year data dump that I do with my friends that I don't see very often and I missed out last year because FiL passed away. I normally handwrite our news; but this year, I think I'm going to type a letter and print it out for inclusion in the card.
Nancy - The US marines will be stationed up in Darwin; which is about as far from Melbourne as Chicago is from Miami. It is near the equator and very tropical in Darwin. Maybe your nephew will get to have a stint up there...and then you can come and visit him (and me)..

I wanted to tell you that deer hunting season has started here and my hunter is going full speed ahead this year. Somehow I got involved in a bet and he and our neighbor managed to convince themselves that if in the unlikely event they catch (you notice I said catch??? ASk me why sometime
