Happy Halloween!

Yesterday Sherri came to hang out at the bakery. We had fun making these halloween cupcakes and talking about all of you. Yes, I did say we talked about all of you. Oh get over it, It happens all the time... So Sydney, Alex and Megan all had AWESOME cupcakes to take to school. I am definatly the best mom EVER!

but wait, there's more... Josh wanted a cake for his class instead so we made this cool graveyard complete with coffins and fallen down fences.

They aren't allowed to wear their halloween costumes so we opted for tasty, deliciousness instead. Yeah, I really am the best mom ever. Don't tell anyone, I don't think I could handle the hate mail.

Snow Fall

What is up with this Snow?? Where did my fall go? Really now. I didn't even get to comment on how much I love fall and the snow is already on the ground.

Paul Browning

I have a cousin named Paul Browning. For those of you who don't know him and in case I haven't mentioned it yet, he's pretty cool. While cleaning out the garage a couple of weeks ago I found some of my old pictures that put me in the nostolgic mode.

I really would like to write about some of the out of control crazy things that he use to do when we were younger but I'm constantly trying to keep up with the crazy out of control things that he does now. Yes I know, he hasn't changed much. He still had no personal boundries and continues to push all the boundries of others. I know, I know, he's saying..."What's wrong with that?" Well, nothing really if you can handle it... Sorry Mandi, It's your job daily.. we feel for you. But we that have a realation to him are also very lucky because we will never lose him and are better people for knowing our dear Paul... if not just a little more patient.

Double my Frustration

Although I love looking at Hhhhaaaaaawwwwt Mr. Haselhoff I decided to move on to matters much less creepy.. and of utmost importance.

In March 2008 history changed courses for Doublemint gumchewers throughout the world. In a press conference release it is stated...

"A great new look with the introduction of Slim Pack(TM), a sleek, 15-stick envelope package that is more durable and portable for today's consumers. The new packaging is coupled with significant flavor improvements across both brands. We are bringing news and excitement to the Wrigley's traditional brands and Extra - a portfolio that represents 30 percent of our overall gum business in the U.S., commented Bill Perez, President and CEO, at Wrigley's Annual Stockholders' Meeting Wednesday in Chicago. We've reformulated these brands to improve taste and flavor duration, and we are introducing new, category-changing packaging that has been two years in the making. This cool new pack will make these brands more contemporary and give them a great presence on the shelf."

Are you kidding? First Tang and now this... Slim packs... fine. 15 stick for the price of 17... fine. Signicant flavor improvements...I beg to differ. News and excitement?? This news is not any type of excitement for me. Now everywhere I go I am buying up all the old packaging and obviously lack of flavor gum and hording it in my closet and changing my chewing habits to include only half a stick to make the packages last longer. I don't want to be "cool" I don't want "new and improved". I want what is good and delicious to my tastebuds and has been to many people throughout the world since 1914.

*sigh*

Thank You for your attention. Now if you will excuse me I have some gum to hoard.

If you think that this is eqally as gay as Twlight (which it is) how about this... oh mommy. Although, he was especially hot in Night Rider... or was that the car.. I can never remember...

we're drying again...

Last night we FINALLY got our dryer fixed. Parts and Labor.. $30 bucks and a pan of lemon bars. SWEET!!! (thanks Todd!)
