Urban Pioneer

If you want to get a glimpse of what the pioneers had to deal with, lug your big garbage cans out to the street during a snow storm. Geez that was tough work! I'm glad though, that I had a nice warm snow parka & hood with thick gloves and boots. I wouldn't have survived back in the good ol' days...

Merry Christmas 2009

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! :)

Spice up your life with Oaklen

Apparently Oaklen thought the dinner that I made tonight needed a little more spice...

It's ironic because I bought this huge container of Mrs. Dash and then regretted purchasing such a large container, thinking that I wouldn't use it up fast enough.

After dinner Darrell and Salem went to work on the laundry room/back porch. I went upstairs with Oaklen & Ezril to do bath and bedtime routine. After the bedtime routine Oaklen said that he wanted to go finish his food from dinner. I said "okay" since I had to put Ezril to bed and Darrell and Salem were still downstairs.Well, Salem happened to come into the kitchen to find Oaklen with a bowl full of Mrs. Dash (would you like turkey pot pie with your Mrs. Dash?) Salem grabbed the bowl and showed it to Darrell. Darrell didn't know what it was at first, then realized what Oaklen had done. He snapped this picture of the boys and now I'm blogging about it. :)

Oh the joy, there is never a dull moment when you've got Oaklen around.
