Writer's block

Lately, I have been away from my blog, for no other reason than writer's block. I know it is disappointing, but I just haven't had much to say. It's not that we have not had a lot going on, believe me we have, I have just been having trouble putting my thoughts into words. Today is our Thanksgiving luncheon at work. Last night I stayed up making mashed potatoes. I got them all ready and will warm them in the crock pot. It was a first for me. I have never made mashed potatoes from scratch, and certainly have never made them in the crock pot. I will let you know how they turn out, and if they are good, will share the recipe. I figured it was easier to be up last night than wake up at three a.m. to be whipping up some taters!

We are heading out of town to be with family for Thanksgiving. We are driving to Missouri. Should be fun since we are leaving about 2:00 am. and driving eleven and a half hours...did you hear that last part? I know, I know, I did say 2 AM. Not normal, but for family it is worth it. Anyhoo, I took Cas yesterday to start part of her "surprise" for her Daddy's Christmas present. I could tell you, but I would like to think that Mike checks on my blog every now and again. Probably not, but it is a nice thought. I am very excited for part of his gift, I think it will be great when it is done. =-)

It seems like before we know it we will be ringing in the New Year, I am just hoping to enjoy it a little bit. I LOVE the CHRISTMAS time of year. Well, I promise I will post more pictures soon. I do have one that Cassidy's teacher took recently. It's amazing to me how everyone else can get good shots of Cas, and when I try I get the cheese smile from her. I guess it's because she is my daughter, and when someone else is taking them, she is not thinking of that. So this picture was taken by Cassidy's teacher at school, the day that they had their Halloween party. I know that because Cassidy's hair is curly, and I had placed it in sponge rollers the night before.

Enjoy!

***I promise if the recipe turns out good for the potatoes I will post it tomorrow...we will see!

This second picture is one that I took when we were just hanging out recently in the backyard. Cassidy was swinging on the hammock in the backyard. I can safely say she has my blue eyes! YAY!

From October Outside Fun


Until next post!
