My new favorite restaurant....
Have you been here yet? Oh my, you must go and go hungry! It is so good I can hardly wait to go again! They have a beautiful buffet style salad bar, pasta bar, beans & rice, fresh fruit too. They come to your table with these long skewers of different meats, veggies, and some grilled pineapple too. It is all you can eat of the skewers brought around to your table as well as the salad bar/buffet. They give you a little round widget that is painted red, yellow, and green. They will stop by or not stop by with more meats depending upon which color is upright on your widget.
Oh, it is good....(The grilled pineapple could be an entire meal and I would be just fine with that!)
One of my most favorite blogs....
Another one of my favorites is a blog that just makes me laugh! This blog features a group of gals that are so very funny and they write about such wide variety of topics! They all have a gift of writing! I wish I could be as effective in my writing and just half as funny! They have freebies and recipes on their site too. You really must give them a visit. I look forward to their light-hearted, refreshing outlook on life and the everyday struggles we all face as mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters in the gospel. It is really is a refreshment to the soul!
One of my most favorite stores....
Have you been to their new store on Milwaukee yet? It is HUGE! Oh it is crafters heaven! Their grand opening will the on March 19-21. They are having all kinds of give-aways. They will be giving away their re-usable tote bags to the first 100 customers each day, $10 TGIFriday's gift cards when you spend more than $30. And Christopher Lowell will be there on Thursday at 11am. I was given 50% coupons to use during the grand opening. They also told me that I can use competitors coupons, and multiple coupons too. If you are buying 3 items and you have 3 coupons you can use a coupon on each item. One coupon per item purchased. Is that clear as mud?
My most favorite chocolate treat EVER.....
"Exquisitely creamy chocolate and artistic mastery combine to create our Lindor Truffle with an irresistibly smooth center guaranteed to melt the heart of every chocolate connoisseur."
If you haven't had these you really should try one. If you are counting points, calories, or carbs you had better only buy a single truffle which you can find at Walmart checkout counters or even my other favorite at Joanns. You might be better off not trying them, you might get addicted! There just cannot be better chocolate found anywhere...
Emily loves having all the kids home to play with! She loves to go outside with them and play on the trampoline or in the sandbox.
She wanted to go outside yesterday and I told her to find her coat. 
So Katie put it on her and she was set to go!
Recently, Jonny had the crud that was going around our school. He tells me he needed more tissue, he was going through it so fast! When I opened the pantry door this is what I saw! I just had to take a shot of this. That is at least 1/2 of a box of tissues!
My daughter's fifth grade class presented a Living Portrait Museum last week. This project required the students to learn about their historical figure and go through the process of writing a research paper. The final culmination of their research was to memorize a speech highlighting their person and the influences in their lives. The student was to dress up like their character and deliver their speech while holding a picture frame. They were to present their speech in first person, as if they were actually that character. Kristina did very well and was so proud to have a brand new dress and wig to make her look as much like Clara Barton as possible.

Recently we went to the only place our family goes for a movie night, Overland Park Cinema, to see Inkheart. It was a fun movie. Even my teen-aged son enjoyed it and admitted it openly after the show. During the show Emily decided, after helping to eat everyone's popcorn, that she needed to get more. She took Steve's hand and pulled him towards the door. He followed along with her tugs and she led him right to the concession stand. With her very limited speaking skills he understood that popcorn was what she was after! He indulged her and got another bag of popcorn and came back to the movie. She sat right back in his lap and was a happy camper!

My sweet husband and kids brought me breakfast in bed on a Sunday morning recently. I was sleeping in that morning and was awakened by the yummy smell of some of my favorite breakfast foods; hashbrowns, french toast sticks, and a bacon-egg-cheese biscuit. This post is making me hungry!
