  • Candy Hangover and Open Windows

    We made it through Halloween, with ninja zombie, vampire and a princess getting enough scares and treats to hold them for at least a week.  Cotton would like to know when the next day for trick or treating is. She's asking hourly. If anyone would like to rent a 3 year old full of questions, please call.

    Friends came over again this year, and it's actually cooled off enough that I used my oven and made lasagna!  It was pretty exciting--having other adults coming to eat meant I could cook food touched other food.

    Seph's gotten her first report card, and got all As. This means she's on the honor roll, and gets a coupon to free buffet at CiCi's Pizza. All the kids are very excited about this, as you'd expect. The fun thing is that even though I have a long-standing dislike of buffet with the kids (I do too much walking around, not enough eating), this is an exception because of the macaroni and cheese pizza. Yes! Not an error! Macaroni and Cheese. Pizza.  Cracks me up every time. Because what's not funny about that? You can completely imagine how this happened:

    "Hey. Boss? This macaroni and cheese isn't selling very well."

    <looks around at the rest of the buffet>

    <notices it is ALL pizza>

    "Boss, howzabout I put some of this macaroni and cheese on a pizza? Let's see what happens."

    What makes it even crazier is that it is those tube noodles shaped like telephone cords, back when phones had cords.
