Only 4 more days until we are out of here!!! We're leaving Friday morning for Naples, Florida and Saturday afternoon Brian and I are getting on a cruise ship with Brian's mom and dad, Keith and Eileen, his 2 younger brothers, Aaron and Isaac and his older brother and his wife, Erik and Michelle. It. Cannot. Come. Soon. Enough. So one more long week of school and work then bon voyage! We'll see you next Wednesday!

Roofers Sure Do Get Up Early...

I don't know what time roofers actually get up in the morning, but they were at my house at 6:30 this morning. Way too early for me! The roofers dropped the dumpster off at 6:30 and as soon as the clocked turned to 7:00AM it sounded like there was a herd of elephants having a parade on my roof! They were loud, but they were also stinkin' quick! They started ripping our roof apart and were starting to lay the new shingles by 8:00! The whole roof was completely finished by 4:00! Anywho, we have a new roof now! It look fabulous!

In the process of ripping our roof off!

FINISHED!!!

Movie Night!

Yay for movie night at Hebron! Every year the church sponsors a movie night out on the front lawn of the church. This year we showed "The Tale of Despereaux" and had pizza, snow-cones and more!

The GIANT blow up screen the movie was shown on.

Snow-Cones, Pizza and more!!!

And just for anyone who read the last blog (which I'm pretty sure Sarah, you're the only one out there) I attempted to make the monkey bread again and SUCCESS!!!! No smoky aroma in the house this time, just the sweet smell of Cinnamon and Sugar covered biscuits!

Mmmmmmmm good!

Not Quite Paula Deen...

Let me stat out by saying that my husband can cook circle around me! Seriously, he cooks way better than I do and he actually enjoys doing it! Crazy, I know. He's about as close to being Paula Deen as we're going to get in this household because let me just tell you, I am nowhere near close to cutting it!

I have ventured out a little bit, I have a few staples that I can always (more like usually) cook up, no problem. Tonight, well, wasn't quite the case. I decide I would make "Monkey Bread" for the first time as a little breakfast surprise when Brian gets home from the station in the morning. How hard can that be? You shake biscuits in cinnamon and sugar and put them in the oven. Simple, right? A third grader could do this, right? Oh, no, not if I'm the one cooking. I'm about 10 minutes into cooking the biscuits in the oven and something smells awfully like smoke..... yep, they're burning! Whole oven full of smoke = whole kitchen full of smoke!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?

So now I sit in the kitchen with the windows open, the fan blowing, praying the smoke alarm doesn't go off (again) and thinking that that Monkey Bread really isn't going to be as tasty as I had hoped. This cooking thing has got to come along to me soon enough, right? Right?

Oh well, here's to cereal tomorrow morning, no cooking involved!
