Countdown to Halloween is Officially On

October 25, 2010 by

So Austin is 8, which of course means Halloween is right up there with Christmas on his social calendar.  Which brings me to my next point.  Ever order a costume off the internet only to realize its ridiculously AWFUL?  Well this year Aus comes to me and says he’d like to be Naturo. Those of you having no clue who this Naruto guy is, have an 8 year old boy and you’ll figure it out real quick.  So no store carries the costumes, so we test our luck ordering online.

Pretty darn cute if I don’t say so myself.  Found on Amazon, ordered and BAM.  Fits perfect….AND I think we are ditching the head piece and going to find our own headband and spike the hair (spraying it yellow as well).

Bring on the sugar induced coma!!

Soccer Mom

October 14, 2010 by

And damn proud of it.  My little man never ceases to entertain me and this soccer season is no different.

He’s been at this since around the age of 3 and it just keeps getting more and more fun.  I am, however, that really really loud ass mom cheering like a crazy person.  That’s normal right?

I think the additional entertainment of watching the sideline coaches dads, REAL-true-to-the-game-soccer moms crazy ladys, and general hysteria that can arise from an 9 year old boys team is just an added bonus.

GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

Love this damn thing

September 30, 2010 by

So, Sarah recently posted about her love for Pampered Chef products.  There is an item that Pampered Chef offers that helps me to make MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITEST COMFORT food ever. Chicken Spaghetti People.  Chicken freaking Spaghetti.

So, here goes:

  1. Clean a raw 3 pound chicken raw/thawed and put in microwave, uncovered for 30 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, cover the chicken for 5 minutes (important step)
  3. De-bone and get all the good meat from the chicken
  4. Cook a whole box of spaghetti – drain
  5. Cut up half a box of 2% of Velveeta – dump in with the noodles
  6. Mix in a can of 99% FF Cream of Chicken Soup with the noodles
  7. Mix in a can of Rotel, I go for the mild (drain)
  8. After all of that is done–mix in that BADASS chicken.

I promise you your family and your taste buds with thank you.  And this is all brought to you by that damn covered baker–can’t live with out it.

Hump Day Happy Hour: Vodka Gimlet

September 15, 2010 by

A couple of weeks ago we did a post about our fav drink and that provoked some response from the readers on their favorites.  Well a lovely little lady turned me on to the Vodka Gimlet.  LOVE Em’

1 1/2 oz. vodka

1 oz. Lime Juice

Stir all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.

I’m not sure if it had to do with the amount of gimlets i consumed, but by the end of the night I was yelling and laughing GIMLET GRAVY repeatedly.  That might just be a side effect of the drink.   🙂
