Did you know…

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • i’m wondering if you know some really great foods to take camping? things we can grab at the grocery store? our friends always end up with such great stuff and i’m like, how did they come up with that?
  • beau’s feet are size 8?
  • i can’t stand seeing anyone, babies to adults, in crocs? esp. the original style? i think a lot of kids are going to look at pictures of themselves in crocs when they’re older and say "why did you let me wear those stupid shoes????" haha not that my kids aren’t going to say that about some of the dorky stuff we put them in…just sayin’.
  • i’m getting a little better at running (but not a lot) but no better at eating properly? it’s not like we eat badly but i do like my pop and my chocolate and my snacks and i do not like fruit.
  • i have so much to do, including choosing 4 outfits for our pics on sunday? and i don’t know when i’m going to do it? beau already had his nap today so i can’t go upstairs and do some packing with him down here alone.
  • bugs are brutal this year? the mosquitoes are like super mosquitoes or something.
  • beau likes slides (and swings and swimming and going fast in the jogging stroller…):

Your beau is such a happy little guy. Too cute. I like hot dogs camping. But I know that you can wrap potatoes in tin foil and toss them in the fire for baked potatoes same with corn. Jiffy pop is fun too. Or chicken and vegetables in tin foil packs and throw it in the fire. Crocs are dumb. I refuse to let them in my house.

bugs are bad here, too! ugh. cute pic. do you mean like for camping dinners? or snacks?

ryn: yeah, I’m not a football fan at all and I dont’ even get how the game is played… BUT…. It’s Calgary Vs Sask which is a very Amped up game. The fans are RABID and I love that kind of stuff. Also, there will be beefed up security at the event. Mmmm beefed up security. *laughs*

I just went grocery shopping at lunch today to pick up some last minute stuff for camping … For some snacks, I got: – pretzel twists with flavored cream cheese [for dipping] – crackers & chees spreads – veggies & veggie dip – grapes & watermelon – Jiffy pop [popcorn to make over the campfire] Some other ideas: – pancake mix [the kind you just add water to] are great for breakfasts … side of bacon over the fire and you have a yummy meal – hobo dinners: make a foil packet … spray w/cooking spray, then put cut up veggies on the bottom [whatever you like … carrots, potatoes, onions, zucchini, etc] and on top of that put a hamburger patty … season … cook over fire or on grill … nom! – take crescent rolls, wind them around a stick, roll in melted butter and then sugar & cinnamon … cook over fire til puffy – put a caramel chew on the end of a stick like a marshmallow and cook over fire til melty, then press between two Ritz crackers … it’s sweet & salty goodness all in one … – also ‘doctor’ up your s’mores … they’re GREAT with peanut butter .. or do a York peppermint patty … or Caramello square .. or other kind

(c) Do you guys have pie irons [for pudgy pies] or a Dutch oven? I have more ideas for those, too …

He looks soo much like you! lol SO CUTE! Ryn: Same here, although she says SHOE all the time and wants them ON! haha!

He’s too cute! I wish Evelyn didn’t wear crocs but I can’t keep the stupid things off her feet. My mom was the one who got them for her in the first place and continues to supply her habit. At least they don’t allow them at school so I can put her in proper shoes then.

July 22, 2010

Ryn: ahhaah that’s too cute! If I say to Chloe, “Want to go out??” She goes and gets her shoes and mine! =o) They are so smart! And about this entry: eating healthy is hard! I can’t do it 100% of the time! lol

July 22, 2010

RYN: My mom knows that too but she doesn’t care. lol RYN: the asking would help (i hope) cut down on the screeching which is like a drill through my brain everyday for 15 hours. It would be nice to see it end.

I am so in love with that curly hair!! It’s so freakin’ cute on him! I’m glad you talked Dennis into growing it out! x2 on Baked potatoes or corn on the cob, frozen chicken breasts, anything really that you can wrap up and bake in an oven, you can do on a campfire. So whatever you like! Watermelon!! Stuff for smores! I totally put Crocs on Savino, mostly because I’m lazy. I havea pair of Croc flipflops but they’re made out of suede and canvas, not plastic, so they’re not obnoxious. They’re super comfortable. I love Crocs for Savino because he is SO DIRTY and when we go to the park or pool or whatever, I can just wash them off in the sink and they’re clean. I hate having to scrub his sneakers. Tim loves his cheapo Croc knock offs, but they are pretty fug. I think flip flops are more comfortable anyway and take just as little time to put on. I try to limit the Crocs on Savino to going out to play, but he can put them on himself so I don’t usually fight with him if he goes to put his shoes on and thats what he picks. He can blame himself later on LOL!! Everyone is going camping it seems! I’m jealous (but only a little because I like my bed!)

RYN; The nook is the only one that lets you do it. You and a friend have to exchange email addresses on your accounts and then you can swap books. You get the loaned book for 2 weeks and while you have it your friend can’t access it. Like if it really was a book you had loaned out. Then after 2 weeks the book gets sent back to the person who loaned it to you. I know that was jumbled.

They have better detail on barnesandnoble.com

Ryn: I totally LOL’d!!!

Do you have a cast iron skillet? If where you are going has a grill you can use it to cook fried potatos. Don’t forget a small bottle of vegetable oil

RYN: Maybe they’re nudist? I dunno and of course they never said anything back so who knows :/

i know what you mean about others always having good snacks lol I never know what to pack for stuff like that, it’s always the same- raw veggies and dip, chips, juice boxes… and about the crocs, I HATED them too, and still don’t wear them because they’re so ugly… but on kids they’re actually not that bad I find. Nicky loves them, finds them super comfortable. Plus they’re easy to clean 🙂

July 24, 2010

I can’t Crocs either! Gross haha but so many people wear them so I’m always worried about offending someone haha!

July 26, 2010

July 27, 2010

RYN: Yeah I have heard the books are good for twilight! I am frankly so disgusted by Bella that I can’t bring myself to read the books still! Anwyhoos is he your son? He is very cute!! 😀 and yeah I can’t stand crocs either, it feels like Daffy Duck is walking in! And umm I think a great picnic snack are boiled egg sandwiches..my mom makes em I have no idea what the receoie is but they are awesome

Hi! I just added you to my friend’s list-just catching up w/your entries! My problem is I don’t really like veggies! Unless there’s dip! I love fruits!
