Catching Up

In looking through Picasa (the photo management program I use) I found several pictures I took for blogs that I never got to.  It seems a shame to forget them, so over the next few days I'll give you the truncated versions of the blogs that never were.

To start (from over a year ago)...

I Love Cloth Diapers

I have been very lucky in regards to my supply of cloth diapers!  I spent $80 on some used diapers right before Desmond was born.  The rest have been given to me by friends.  Super generous friends!  My favorite are the Mother-ease.  They are easy to use,  don't leak, and will fit until Desmond is done with diapers.

I Just Got 6 Bingos!

I am totally amazed, myself!  I think my highest number of bingos in one game was 3 before now.

A Scrabble bingo is the use of all 7 tiles on the rack at one time.  Fifty extra points are awarded when a player is able to do this.  

I took this screenshot after the scores reset, but I think it was something like 598 to 280.  (You can see I had to learn how to take a screenshot first!)

My bingo words were...
 DOMINOES
CABBAGE
CROWNING
GUILTIER
BEMUSING
UNTITLED

Yay, me! :)

P.S.  In case you were wondering, my other words were

FRAZIL

NE

OPAL

FOP

QI

DELLY

AGER

SERF

Anyone wanna play? ;)

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

Our busy class schedule is about to start, and we'll need our lunches on the go.  I've been thinking about these rolls for a while.  My idea was to use bread dough, fill roll sized portions with sandwich fillings, then bake.  PB&J seemed easiest so I started my experiment there.  

I used a basic white bread,  freshly ground peanut butter and homemade apricot jam.  I am happy to say the mini sandwiches are a success!  They are going to be so easy to grab for a tasty, easy meal, yay!

First Day Of Golf

Lydia & Rowan had their first golf lesson today.  They were super excited to wear their new golf outfits and use their golf clubs somewhere other than at home.  They both did a great job and had a lot of fun!

Rowan says, "I hit a golf ball really far!"

Actually, they both seemed a bit timid about whacking the ball.   Maybe that's because of all the times we've told them not to swing their clubs in the house!

Another Reason To Love Burt's Bees

As of April 2010, Burt's Bees has ELIMINATED landfill waste from their facilities.  A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! Read more about how they did it here.  What's New - Burt's Bees
