More sweets!!!

I have found a solution to a small problem I have been having.

Since I drive all day for my job, I tend to attract the strange men who like to drive along side me to gawk at me and try to persuade me to roll my window down.

Honestly, I don't think they have anything important to say. If they are trying to ask for directions...they are better off asking some one who's car isn't in motion.

Anyway, what I was getting at was this guy was driving beside me for at least 5 miles. I mean he (and his buddy) were making sure they were right beside me and this means slowing down and speeding up when necessary to maintain their position.

Idiots!

I tried to shake them off but they wouldn't go.

So.......

I took out my camera (phone) and took a picture of them.

After that, they made sure they weren't next to me anymore.

I guess they thought I was going to report them or something.

Hey! I only wanted to gawk at them too!

Chickens!

How nice am I?!

So, earlier this week a lady came knocking on my door while the kids and I were watching the movie Bolt....or was it Beverly Hills Chihuahua?? (don't ask) anyway, This lady was from an elementary school and wanted to know if they could borrow my Santa train because they are going to be showing the movie "The Polar Express" at their school.

Hell Yeah! Sure. Why Not?

When Dom was in the 5th grade, his school took him to the movie theater to watch it. His class was given permission to wear their pajamas with robes and slippers if they would like. So, I went out and bought my kids some.

When it came time for them to head to the theater, I loaded up Miah and Devyn with our robes and slippers on and we went and joined them. We had a ball. They still talk about it. Even Dom gets excited when it's mentioned.

I told this story to the teacher and she said that they would like to do the same. Dom and I gave her some more ideas and then she left.

The next day she came back and picked up the train.

Friday, she comes back and drops the train back off along with this:

Awww, that was soo sweet of them. They didn't have to thank me with COOKIES and CAKE!!

I'm so glad they did though.

It stays right beside my bed.

Strangeness and sweets.

I haven't been sleeping well.

I got up at 5:30 to go to Walmart to get some Santa hats because the kids needed them for school and I'm such a procrastinator that I waited until the VERY LAST MINUTE.


Anyway, I get to the parking lot and I look at the car beside me.


This is what I see:

Question: What kind of person rides around with Chucky in their passenger seat?

Answer: The kind who doesn't want anyone asking them for a ride.

I'll pass.

Now Andy over at Wild ARS Chase posted about how great his mom is. Well I have news for you too.

When I was little, I remember making sugar cookies and decorating them during Christmas time. Little snowmen and Santas.

Now, she's doing the same with my kids and they love it.

Question: Why don't YOU continue to make the cookies every year Sheila, along with them?

Answer: Cause I'm totally overwhelmed with all of this stuff and couldn't help but pass out from exhaustion around 8:00 each night.

That's why.

Anyway, here is my mom is helping Miah make Pon de Polvos (<--if that's even spelled right).

I won't go into details...the pics say it all.

I spoke with Miah's teacher and she said that Miah told her that she would volunteer to make the German Chocolate cake. HUH? That wasn't even on the list!

The teacher said she asked Miah: Are you sure? German Chocolate cake?

And that Miah told her: Yes, I know how to make it.

Then Miah comes home with the paper saying we were signed up to bring it. OKAY.

Well my mom gets this idea that she would help her make it.

Hey! Who was I to try to talk her out of that? Run with it!

So they did.

They decided to do little cakes in the shape of stockings and trees. That way everyone would have their own little shaped cake.

Then Miah started getting the frosting and grossed out. She squinted at it and said it "looked weird".

ME: WHAT? Little chick?! Didn't you know what German Chocolate cake looks like?

MIAH: Yes, but this is gross.

So, instead of the frosting that is usually applied, we used the decorating frosting that comes in the tubes.

Of course, mommy (me) forgot to get the little tips so they just slathered it on there.

The finished product: How Cute.

We'll be making the sugar cookies sometime this week.

Get ready for THAT show.

I've been so disorganized lately.

It must be the holidays.
