Hard Mac

Today I am watching my niece Aubrianna. She and Ashlyn were playing and ready for lunch. Aubrianna asked what we were having. I gave her a few options, one of them was Easy Mac. She said she wanted Easy Mac and that she would go and ask Ashlyn what she wanted. A few minutes later, Ashlyn came running down the stairs yelling, "mommy, mommy......I want hard mac". It took me a second to realize what she meant. She said, "I like the kind of macaroni that takes longer......it tastes better". So, what is the point of Easy Mac if my kids don't even like it? It's a good thing I got it on clearance (there must have been a reason for that).

Kids First Day of School

You've got to give Jeff some credit for this. He was posting these pics and captions on facebook and I asked him if he would post them to our blog also. We got the pics but no captions. Hopefully he will come back to this and edit. The kids have separate first day of school pics because there days started on different days. Alexis and Max started on Thursday and Ashlyn on Friday. Ashlyn was so excited for her first day of Kindergarten!

Pay it Forward

We had the most unexpected thing happen to us last week. We had some friends take us to dinner at a nice Italian Restaurant. At the end of our meal a lady from the other table asked us if we watched the morning news. Okay........... I wont go into her story (it was pretty long and confusing). Long story short, she and her husband picked up the tab for all four of us. She then took off a bracelet she was wearing on her wrist and gave it to me. It says "Pay it Forward". Seriously the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for us! I am still wearing it looking for my opportunity to PAY IT FORWARD!
