I knew I'd be pooped this evening after Christian's birthday party.  It was great. We only had 3 little ones there, a couple were sick and the parents dropped by and the rest was family.  Ya'll please pray for Sandi Peak's baby boy Jameson.  He's been sick for the last couple of days.  Saw him on Thursday night and he was running a temp.  Sandi said when they got home from Panera that he had a 102 degree fever.  They spent most of yesterday in the doctor's office.

I put on a huge crock pot of homemade vegetable soup this morning.  My house smells wonderful and I'm 'bout ready to eat a bowl.  Kyle will be happy when he gets home.

So, what are ya'll having for dinner tonight???  How was your day?

I am jealous of your crockpot soup!!!  I can't decide what to eat for supper.  Probably will settle on leftover beef stew.  Good and good for me.
 
Biscuit's birthday cake was disgusting - liver and peanut butter.  He loved it!

Right now I am making Chess Squares for the Open House in Livingston tomorrow.    I will TASTE one - way too much sugar for me to safely eat!

He ate every disgusting bite!  It was a recipe from Rachel Ray!!!

I may be coming up to Tuscaloosa one afternoon/evening next week to go to the music store and Barnes & Noble.  If I do, I'll let you know a day or so early and maybe some of us can meet up for coffee!?!

Hey John, that would be great.  I don't live far from Barnes and Noble and I think it's pretty assessable to everyone else as well.  I love that place.  Which music store do you go to??

Southeastern Music - it's behind the Kmart.  They used to be downtown.  They have a great variety of music that I use to teach.  If I am buying for my church choirs I usually go online to PineLake Music or JW Pepper.

i did the same thing this morning started a big crock pot full of chicken and veggie soup.  We just finished eating and it tasted so good and it was cozy since the temp is beginning to lower outside

I usually put chicken in mine, but today I just used some chicken broth instead.  Trying to cut corners every which way I can.  I got a boston butt today for $4.00.  They had them for 99 cents a pound at the store.  I will put that in the crockpot tomorrow night or Monday morning.  Then we'll have dried pinto beans one night and make chili out of the leftover beans.  I keep trying to come up with cost cutting ideas.  Maybe we should start a COST CUTTING thread of some sort?  We could all probably use some ideas in cutting corners.  Any suggestions?

I brought home some potato soup from the church lunch and made a cake of cornbread.  We shopped after our church thing and I just got home about an hour ago.  I am tired.
