Throwback Thursday

Throwing it back to earlier in the semester when the girls won best defense and best offense for their high school team and when they were inducted into the Society of Female Scholars.

Throwback Thursday

The girls have had some weird Halloween Costumes over the years, but I think this one from 2013 takes the cake....There are no words...

Dude, Where's My Car?

After a quick stop the other day, Kayla and I walked out to the parking lot and I opened the car door to get in. I noticed there was a random pair of shoes sitting on the floor. I slid into the driver's seat trying to figure out where they had come from when I heard Kayla whisper yelling "MOM! MOM! MOM!" I quickly realized that I WAS IN THE WRONG CAR! How embarrassing! I jumped out quickly hoping the owner wouldn't see me and think I was trying to steal something. To make matters worse, it didn't even look like my car. It was a white Honda and I drive a red Kia. It's finally happening....I am losing my mind!

Bet Gone Bad

Anna was"dying" for a pazookie the other night. You know those cookies that you put in a cast iron skillet, half bake and then cover with ice cream and whipped topping?

Because I had already planned on cooking dinner that night I said no to the Pazookie.

Anna asked if we could make a deal. If dinner was bad, then we'd go get a pazookie. Now if you know us at all, that was a pretty safe bet for Anna. I've been known to ruin dinner a time or two. Ok...so maybe it's more than just a time or two. Kayla gleefully likes to remind me about our "3 dinner night". After 3 failed attempts, I finally gave up and took the girls to In-N-Out.

Well too bad, so sad Anna! Dinner was amazing! Alright, it wasn't amazing, but it was about a good as Rice-A-Roni and chicken tenders get. AND...more importantly...everyone passed the successful dinner test we put into place a few years ago....If no one pukes, poops, or dies within 24 hours after eating my cooking, it's a successful meal.
I thought about sabotaging myself because I do enjoy a good pazookie, but gosh darn it...I had something to prove! Anna tweeted,"what are the odds that this is the one night mom makes an edible dinner!"
