Luck O' The Irish

What a fun packed day we had on Tuesday. We started out with green eggs for breakfast and continued with green food throughout the day. Here is a sample of the goodies we had for our fun filled day at the Turner's House for a St. Patrick's Day Celebration.
Here are Curtis and Keaton showing off their green jello. My kids have a ball when they are at Lori and Jeremie's.

Here is one big bad green dude. He was just chilling in the kitchen while we were getting things ready. Don't you just love those green glasses.

This was the main event, a hunt with 12 clues for a pot of gold. Lori had them running all over the place. There were 4 girls and 6 boys. The boys against the girls, Brianna was worried because there were more boys. Lori assured here that the 4 smart girls would do fine. The boys were like loose cannons when looking for the clues. It was so funny watching them run all over the place while looking for clues.

Clint found the pot of gold for the boys and they shared the gold between them. They also painted sun catchers to take home. We had a great time and would like to thank Lori for hosting such a fun day. By the way I did make pictures of Kristen and the boys as usual, but didn't have enough room for them on this post.

Kim Cantrell's Contest

Where was Kim when my boys were little. This is one of Kim's new creations. She is having a contest to give this new addition to her many works a name. It is a bib and passe holder. She is needing a cute name for it. Click on her Riemake Boutique on the right side and enter to win a monogrammed beach towel.

My suggestion for this is: Double Duty

Snow, Snow, and More Snow!!!!

What a surprise to wake up to on a Sunday morning. I noticed Shawn had not left for work and I heard the phone being dialed. I got up to make sure Shawn was not sick and boy was I surprised. 4" in our front yard and more in drifts. This is a picture with my "Part-time" daughter as the boys call Kristen. What would be a picture without my little blond cutie. I am so blessed that Lori and Jeremie share her with me. We love her just like she is ours. The girls at B&B refer to her as my little blond girl. I think that she could pass as ours, don't you?

I think snow is beautiful when it is like this. It is God's amazing work. Who else could create this magnificent beauty.

You know we had to get out in the snow and play around. This is a one of a kind shot of Shawn. We rode down the snow covered road to the Turner's house where we brought everyone out to play in the snow.

The boys just could not keep from falling in the snow. They have wished for a snow big enough to get out in. I think there was more snow on them than on the ground. Even their underwear was wet when we got in.

One last shot before we headed in. Clint was just itching to throw a snowball at me, but my excuse was I had the camera. Believe me I got it when I put my camera in my pocket. We had a great day, especially since Shawn was home with us.

The snow is still hanging around. My granny Myrtle always said that it stays around for another big one. I hope everyone enjoyed their day off on Monday, but now we are back in full swing.

I hope everyone has a great week and a warm weekend!!!!!!!!!

A Warm Yummy

We do a Mother's Day Tea every year at school and ask for recipes from all the moms. Well Brooke Totherow sent one in and it is a REAL WINNER!!! Girls you have to try it.

Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

1lb. Lean Ground Beef

1 15 oz. can Spaghetti Sauce

1 10 oz. can refrigerated Pizza Crust Dough

1.5 Cup pre-shredded part-skim mozzarella Cheese

Bell Pepper, Onion and Mushrooms

Pre-heat oven to 425. Cook meat in skillet until browned. Drain meat and add spaghetti sauce and cook until heated. While meat cooks coat 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Unroll pizza dough and press into bottom and half way up the sides of the dish. Top crust with meat mixture, then layer with mushrooms, onions and bell pepper if desired. Bake uncovered for 12 minutes. Then top with cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese melts.

My honey does not like to try new things and he turned his nose up at first, but after he ate it he loved it. I used the pizza dough mix and it made the crust thick and yummy. This is absolutely a Grissom house hold regular now... Thanks Brooke.

Since there is no school today I found some really good recipes online I am going to be trying so stay tuned for more.
