Ooh, that stinks, Karen! Better than braces though, right? One of my BFs drinks coffee out of a straw so it won't stain her teeth. LOL

Ooh, I guess I was wrong! We always use water; enough to cover the meat. I hate that sometimes the meat turns out tasteless (because it's essentially boiled). So we add a ton of seasoning. Would be good to know if we didn't need to use water!

Thanks, Laurie...we crammed lots of fun in just a few hours yesterday afternoon. Left at 3:30 to pick up the kids. Got to the beach around 4:15 and left at 5:45. Took quick showers and went out to dinner. The kids were starting to lose it so I had DH do a little grocery shopping and I stayed in the car with them while they watched a movie. I wanted it to be bedtime when we got home, so I didn't have to deal with crankiness! It was a lot of fun though. I'm trying to get our beach packing routine down to a science so it makes it a worthwhile effort to just go for an hour or two. If I think I'm almost there!

Shoe shopping success! Found shoes for both kiddos at Marshalls, ou first stop! To my surprise, Addison picked out athletic sneakers. Am a bit doubting that she will actually wear them. Fingers crossed! Also got her a pair of high quality flats, but they are a litle big.

Way to go! I hate getting shoes or clothes for they boys and then they don't ever want to wear them for what ever reason.
