HIMCR #176 - Freestyle!

So who all went out on the new Black Friday which is really Thursday night! We did! It wasn't too bad but then again I don't go with a real purpose in mind or anything specific. Never do! I like to get cheap movies and just see what deals, like toys and such for the kids are out there. We had fun! And it really wasn't too crazy here! We didn't do any shopping on the actual Black Friday. We went to Six Flags! They were kicking off the Holiday season time and I wasn't really impressed but we still had a lot of fun even though it wasn't as GRAND as I thought it would be and it rained! It was still FUN! And it was sort of Free since we have season passes and it was bring a friend day. Free is always good! :)

Big news! We are moving again! It's been about three years; in military time, it's time to move! Back to Arizona! And in February which is not the best time of year to move. First time we've had to move during the school year! YUCK! I'm trying to not worry too much about it until after the Holidays but I don't want to be stressed with a lot to do in the end either. With the move looming I didn't even go to Michael's or Joann this year! Boo!

HIMCR #174 Winner!

Phew, I got a few minutes to be out of the kitchen! I hope everyone's pies, casseroles, or whatever you cook, slice, dice, or prep the day before Thanksgiving turns out GREAT!

I had little pumpkin pie mishap! My first batch, yes, I said first, which means there were subsequent pies! Anyway, the first batch! I was multitasking and forgot to had eggs. This will REALLY mess up how a pie is suppose to turn out! How I did this is beyond me except I was doing too much and talking too much. The flavor was spot on, and my daughter and husband actually ate, with the help of all of us 'trying' it, an entire pie or pumpkin mush as my daughter was calling it. We decided to refrigerate the other pie and are going to use it to make ice cream pumpkin smoothies! We will see! Then my second batch after getting more pie shells didn't turn out well either. I had some pumpkin pie filling instead of just pumpkin and it looked weird and my condensed milk was 'off' too. The taste was weird and I didn't even try to bake them. So off to Wal-Mart again to get more pumpkin! Third time was a charm! Perfect Pumpkin Pies are now ready for tomorrow! So no more mishaps! I probably just jinxed myself! :)

Enough of my Thanksgiving horror stories and on with last week's HIMCR challenge wiinner!

HIMCR #173 - Super Scraps Saturday!

Happy Saturday!

Today is a special day in our family! My just recently turned 8 year old son is being baptized and will now be an official member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! He is truly a remarkable kid, so tender hearted. You know the type that you can't ever get cross with. He is always wanting to help me and is usually right by my side in the kitchen! He's also usually the first to offer to help whenever I ask. I'm so proud of him and his decision to get baptized!

Here he is holding our baby chinchilla, Norman!

Ready for the challenge? It's the second Saturday! So you know what that means......
