My new favorite snack

I was in Albertsons a couple of days ago and came across this



I love sunflower seeds - but hate the mess of cracking the shells and spitting them out - so I tend toward the already shelled ones. I thought that I'd give these Honey Roasted ones a try - and they are absolutely addicting! As we have already discussed - I have a tendency toward addiction - so it is a good thing that I channel it towards scrapping, game play and now Honey Roasted Sunflower Nuts!

These have such a subtle flavor to them - you still get mainly the taste of the sunflower seed - with a slightly sweet taste to it. Ymmm - perfection!

I scrapped

Amazingly enough - I finally got some scrapping done this year. I have turned into the biggest procrastinator - and I hate that about myself - but it is what it is. Here are the results of my scrappin-fest yesterday - thanks Jen for hanging out with me via IM and cheering me on.

The Search is over

After Mitch spending weeks looking through online sites for the truck that he wanted - I am the one that finally found the truck. I showed the link to Mitch and he was so excited!! So, off the kids and I went to Bellingham to test drive the truck and possibly buy it. It was the first time I've ever bought a vehicle myself - and it was an interesting experience - especially since we were haggling via email with Mitch over price. The salesman was great and I'd recommend Rairdon Dodge in Bellingham if anyone is around that area and looking to buy a vehicle.



So here is Mitch's new baby , it is a stick shift - so Braeden hasn't been able to drive it like he wants to - because he hasn't learned how to drive a stick. I went out with him once in it - and we ended up just parking it - because I was afraid he was gonna drop the tranny ;)

The Dancing Brush

Emma has been wanting to go to the ceramics studio in Poulsbo called Dancing Brush for quite some time, so today Mommy guilt got the best of me - and I took her. I was planning on just watching her create and taking pictures - but she said I needed to create something too. So while she worked on a mug for her Dad, I made up my own species of plant - called a Cactus Tree - LOL.



evidentally my paintbrush didn't dance - it committed hari kari - LOL.

My Favorite Pizza

Just a little random about me fact today - this is my absolute favorite pizza - add some dried red pepper flakes to it and I'm in piggy heaven!!

This is the Cowboy Pizza from Papa Murphy's Take N Bake Pizza.
Premium pepperoni, Italian sausage, fresh mushrooms, black olives and herb & cheese blend. Yummmm - now I want this for lunch!!

Bowling

We went bowling with my friend Paula and her two kids. I haven't been bowling in forever - next time I'm home I should go and see if I can find my old bowling ball - although I bet my fat fingers probably wouldn't fit in it anymore.  I had a hard time finding a bowling ball that worked for me - and my shoes weren't sliding well - so my back was pretty sore from all the jerking movements when I tried to bowl.

I love the fancy new gizmos at the bowling alley, the automatic gutter guards if you want them, the automatic score keeping.  Makes it easier for sure.  We had a lot of fun bowling - although none of use will be signing up for leagues soon LOL.

So here it is, a not so great photo from 2004 - Braeden during the first real snow that we ever had since moving to Kingston. The neighbor had this sled and we all went out and played outside in the snow. And no, I haven't scrapped it yet.
