DYK ok...no one talk for a sec...I'm all caught up and I want it to last...
:)
DYK I started this thread by thinking 'wow..swooping is really swooping when it's still August 31st'...and then I peeked at the date on the computer and was totally shocked to see it was Sept 1st.
DYK that should tell you how the month is going...one step behind--and totally oblivious! LOL
DYK all kids are back in school now. They all started the last week of August, except for Steph who just really got past frosh week and got started classes on Thursday
DYK Steph started her first year of University: major in Geography and minor in history. So far she has had french, philosophy and geography...
DYK Alex started grade 12: Math, Physics and French this semester;
DYK Emma is in grade 6 : the seniors in the school. Woot!
DYK Connor is in grade 3: very happy to find a beta fish in his class like one he used to have. The classes voted on a name. Connor suggested Mr. Blue. The class chose (drumroll please) 'Bob'. (reminded me of those 'what do you call a man with no arms and no legs jokes..but I don't think the class got that..!)
DYK Dana, I'm trying to read your posts and post myself before I'm not caught up anymore! :)
DYK did some overtime this morning and now I'm trying to go thru kids rooms and closets and sort/organize/give away because on Monday the guy is coming to meausure the rooms for new carpets and I doubt he wants to be stepping over books and clothes...
DYK I need to seriously start Phase 2 again. I'm thin -ish every summer (I look good in July pics each year) and every August I am round. Geesh. Time to get back on track
DYK I'm back in the gym again so that should help.
DYK must go and finish packing before it gets dark, as I don't have enough really bright lights in the kids rooms to see what I'm doing!
DYK the recipe is from Veganomicon, so it's not on my blog. I found that someone else had posted it on recipezaar (but with a few changes). I'll post the original here for you.

DYK LOL!
DYK too bad the tooth fairy always has to be so prompt!
DYK I forgot one night, and in the middle of the night I woke up and remembered...
DYK DH couldn't figure out why I was rummaging around in his change cup in the middle of the night?
DYK he started the trend of the tooth fairy leaving her golden dollars?

DYK I have alot of those "deep cleaning/organizing" chores on my list now that the kids are back in school?
DYK I've already taken a load to the consignment store, and have several bags ready for Goodwill?
DYK DH and I are going to work on the garage on of these upcoming Thursdays that he's taking off work?
DYK that will be a big project...
DYK great to see everyone back on the board again!
DYK I love the crockpot split pea soup!
DYK I may have to make that this week?
DYK I like to keep my freezer stocked with soups in individual containers for lunches or quick dinners?

have a great evening everyone..
DYK we spent the morning at the farmer's market?
DYK I got some corn (kids requested it), eggplant, red onion, spaghetti squash, some wildflower honey, and a bottle of wine?
DYK I also got a HUGE bunch of basil, so I think I need to make some pesto!
DYK then we came home and made malted milk ice cream, and I just finished putting together an apple crisp?
DYK yesterday I made cinnamon ice cream to go with it?
DYK I really need to reign in my eating? My meals are usually good, but it's all the extra goodies that are giving me problems lately...
DYK that's impressive!!
DYK I'm hoping the rain holds off so we can run tonite?
DYK we haven't gone all week...most of the girls I go with have kids in soccer, so practices and games have totally taken over?
DYK but at least I made it to the gym twice?
DYK my legs are *still* sore from Thursday?
DYK we pay $1.50/lb for pick-your-own at the orchard?
DYK the ones they've already picked are $2/lb?
DYK we're planning on going again on Thursday b/c the Honeycrisp are supposed to be ready then? I can't wait!!
Joy,
DYK the recipe is from Veganomicon, so it's not on my blog. I found that someone else had posted it on recipezaar (but with a few changes). I'll post the original here for you.
