waffle is a dork.
craig and i watched him last night try to curl up on a small throw pillow....and we were cracking up.
he circled it....tried to put all four feet on it at once.....circled again....then laid on it but just buried it because it was so tiny and he is so not.
it was hysterical.
he looked so defeated.
he really likes that hamster....
in a eat-it-for-dinner kind of way.
we were very chill during the super bowl.
watched it together as a family...mostly.
but i made little smokies and the rotel cheese dip with hambuger and i made some mac & cheese too.
annie shouted "YES!!! I LOVE SUPER BOWL PARTIES!!!"
i guess if eating IN the living room with your mom and dad while watching a football is a party.....
we tried shauna's no heat curls on talby this weekend.
SUCCESS!
made me miss my long hair.
kind of.
have you ever heard of a fruit called a budda's hand?!!!
freakiest thing ever.
and it was $7.99 for ONE at our grocery store.
i am guessing they don't grow anywhere NEAR kansas and certainly not in february.
it looked like something off of starwars?!
100th day of school last week.
annie carefully counted out 100 M&Ms to take for the party.....and left them sitting on the countertop.
of course.
someone forgets something every single day.
it is nuts.
ran the four miles with two of my running buddies today.
there was frost all over everything but it was a great run....
even though i was ready to be done 3/4 of the way through.
very ready.
i'm still in my stuff....gross.
i thought my reflection in my laptop made a funny picture. :)
*****************************************
i keep forgetting to tell you.....
i am speaking at SNAP.

who knows why i forget so much stuff....i just do.

funny isn't it? :)
***********************************

We had the 100th day of school last week too! Same crown too! It was a really big deal, was it there too? I don't remember ever talking about the 100th day of school when I was in school, but it has been a very, very long time since I was in elementary school. Have a great afternoon!

My Monday has been busy with waking up way too early, making french toast, driving 45 minutes to bring husband his work phone, shopping at Old Navy, lunch with my lil bit, and then home. Now if the pictures I took would just show up on my phone.

I've got to start using my pinterest account. I have lots of followers, but I've never used the account. :)

This is so funny - I had never heard of Buddha's Hand until friends visited us from Oregon recently. The wife is a former chef/restauranteur, and she sliced it and had us taste it - kind of like a cross between a lemon and a lemon rind. It's not on my shopping list, but it is interesting to look at!

i tried shauna's no-heat curls too. and YES! they do work! i have a friend that wants me to go to snap, but its a long way and i don't know if it's gonna work. but now that i know YOU"RE going to be there...hmmmm.

My girls discovered headband curls this week as well. They are so cute - I sure had my doubts but it even worked well on my 8 year old who has super long hair. Best thing is my 13 year old discovered this and has been doing all their hair - no work for mom! :)

Ooh it's in Utah! I remember those pretty photos you took there! I loved the colored powder shots :)

Waffle is the cutest! My 50 lb dog tries to climb up into my lap - she just doesn't get how big she is, either.
I tried the no-heat curls on myself a few months back. Disastrous. Maybe it's my fine hair? Talby looks so sweet!

Here's the link to the company that makes the Super Mom doll, they have a list of retailers by state and online on their site! http://www.happyworker.com/supermom

There was a car parked outside our house today. It was a nice Volvo with "WAFFLEZ" on the license plate. I thought to myself "I wonder if Meg is here?" But when we came home from school pick up there was a soldier SGT dude climbing in the Volvo. I told him we liked his plates. He told me that this was his wife's car and that they have a cat named Waffles. We think it's a totally cute name for a cat or a dog. We have 2 furry felines Leo & Vincent. They would probably like to eat the hamster too.

My son had a "100th Day of School" party today too! I have never heard of such a thing, but he came home from school pretty stoked about the whole thing. He said it was a great day!

lol Cracking up at the super mom doll. That'll be me when I try the no heat curls... :)

Meg, Can we follow you on Pinterest? I looked for your name, but couldn't find you. Would love to see what you pinned!

I saw the Buddha's Hand once at Whole Foods and the produce lady said it was a really good fruit for zesting. She said they were really lemony. A neat idea but I cringed at the price. :)
Posted by: Starr Anderson | February 06, 2012 at 06:10 PM
Love, love the no-heat curls!! And you're speaking at Snap?!?! I am so excited!
Posted by: Heather G. | February 06, 2012 at 06:22 PM
We've tried Buddha's Hand. It tastes like a mixture between floral and citrus, but the aroma is fragrant and the texture is kind of waxy so you feel like you shouldn't eat it, like you shouldn't eat an air freshener.
Posted by: Heather | February 06, 2012 at 06:30 PM
We forget things all the time too. I've lost track of how many times the kids have forgotten things this year. It's a good thing that we live close to school, it's makes the run home and back again quick.
Posted by: Kim from Miracle-Round | February 06, 2012 at 07:41 PM
YAY!! I can't believe you'll be at SNAP - I am SO excited!!

Ha! Baby body with what looks like a mans head...yup! Seems about right.

A dear friend of mine loves buddha's hand. She candies them just as you would orange peels and dips them in bittersweet chocolate. She is my food guru. I love stumbling across food blogs and seeing her name. This is her entry about buddha's hand: http://www.lavieenroute.com/2011/12/07/recipe-box-buddhettes-buddhas-hand-orangettes/

I saw the Buddha's Hand at Dillon's on Saturday morning and remember thinking, "I wish I had my camera." I was so intrigued that I had to look it up when I got home!

Gotta love waffle! My max did the same thing this morning but he curled up on my white nice pillow that we don't sleep on but accidently fell on the floor....I just laughed, now I have to wash it:)
