Weekend 'O Fun

Weekends at our house are rarely boring

and this one did not dissapoint.

Mr.Mr. is hiding on the couch. Why?

That's why!  His favorite food, salad dressing.

Sycamore Elementary School Community Fair on Friday Night.

I like to go because of the Silent Auction.

One year we got a new garage door opener.

This year I bid and won museum passes to museums around town

and  a family membership to Kitt Peak Observatory. Score!

J-Man on the Slide

J-Man building a super maze thing. 

 He built it up even more and when I went to take a picture

a middle school girl came and knocked it down,

 made J-Man cry and got in trouble from me. 

I made her come build it back up,

but it wasn't as cool as the one J-Man built in the picture.

It was great to be surrounded by so many friends and the kids had a blast.

Also I had the most delicious taco and refried beans ever, and I live in Tucson!

Need a caterer, here is my recommendation.

On Saturday, we invited some soccer families over for dinner.

For dessert I thought I would try Smore Pops

Grahm Crackers cut in heart shapes with a cookie cutter

Hershey chocolate square on top of cracker

Strawberry flavored large marshmallow on top of chocolate

top with cracker

Side view

Put under Broiler until marshmallow is puffy

push cracker down into marshmallow

then insert candy stick

let cool for an hour or so

then you can pick up Smore Pop

They are very rich.

The weekend was full of fun, food and friends.

J.G: The Roller Coasters

M.G.: Alien Abduction

We rode a lot of rides that day. 

 I rode one the bigger rides like the rollercoasters

and the Farris wheel with them. 

 It was a blast.

We are going back today to see the animal auction,

 the demolition derby and of course have the food.

Navajo Taco's and Roasted Corn on the Cob are my favorite.

Happenings in February

Besides Valentines Day and I-Man's Birthday Party we were sick for the majority of the month of February.  However I did manage a few pictures in between.

I-Man representing his Middle School in Academic Jeopardy at Vail Pride Day.

Mr. Mr. hiding under the umbrella with J-Man at I-Man's soccer game.

This is how we spent most of the month, in the doctor's office or at home sick.

J-Man may look happy but he has an ear infection like the rest of us.

What do you do with little kids during soccer practice on a cold night?

Go to the indoor playground at the mall.

They can run around and play

and be goofy

for an hour and a half

and no one complains that they are cold.

Genius!
