Half lazy Saturday

So I had made this nice list of things I was GOING to get done today. I was going to be proud of myself and feel accomplished! Ok, that is what I thought when I was writing out my list. Now it is a different story! Allen talked me into playing a Scrabble game with him...well, not one but 2!! We have a hand held electronic game. So I tried to sleep between turns. Then I got up early this morning to go to AWANA training at the Church. Super informative meeting. Learned a lot and I am so eager and looking forward to this years AWANA.



Hubby and Daughter went for a walk today......that was nice to see them spend time together. Girls NEED that from their Daddy's'!
Now, for some holidays we give our kids "coupons"...... stay up 30 mins past your bedtime, favorite dessert, extra bedtime story....and so on...... today after their walk, Tiffany decided to use her "build a sundae with Dad" coupon. It was so awesome to watch them interact....




Ugh.........I have been fighting a migraine for 2-3 days now! It is such a pain!!!!! I started feeling a bit better last night when I was making that list...maybe that is why I was so ambitious! Anyway.....it returned to it's "roaring" state. Any of you migraine sufferers know what I mean....you can get the meds to "calm it down" but then once they wear off it's BOOM! So, I took something STRONGER then I normally do......so that being said, if I happen to wonder off subject , bare with me, I'll get back to what I was trying to say....if not, just enjoy......



Ok, yes, back to my "productive/lazy" day. The hubby was meeting with some friends tonight up at Timmy's ( that's what we call Tim Hortons)........he NEEDED to go and do something more then have coffee but whatever, he is old enough to make his own mind up. I just hope he is enjoying himself. So before he left I asked for 10 mins so I could take a power nap on the couch.....I think it turned into more like 30. That was good though. I think my migraines are being fueled by staying up too late and trying to cram too much in the day. With the bits and pieces of cool weather we have been having , it has gotten me into a baking mood!!




My oldest son made some of the BEST blueberry muffins Thursday night....they were SUPER yum!!!



He has become quiet the cook! He has been working at a German restaurant and comes home with some of the yummiest ideas. And we get to taste his SUPER creations/concoctions.



Then the same evening I had made some yummy homemade bread. Basically out of necessity because son #2 likes to have toast all the time........Anyway.....it had been a while since I made homemade bread and we LOVED it all over again! Of course we HAD to break out the homemade strawberry jam..........

That red blob you see is the homemade jam. Again, it was good. Right now, while I am blogging, my dough is rising for the cinnamon buns(mini cinnis) for our high school Sunday school class. Tomorrow is step up day and we will be gaining new students.

Oh, and I also made sugar cookies for the local college students. Our church partners with this ministry thing to where they give the cookies to students. Someone took a survey and it seems that the one thing college students miss a lot is homemade cookies.

Well, it sounds as if everyone is back home from where they had gone......oldest son working at the restaurant, hubby out with the guys and son #2 went to the movies with his "girlfriend"...they "celebrated" their 6 month anniversary....hehehe....how cute!!!!!! Ah.....to be young again.....

the younger 2 have been in bed for some time and I am now feeling the STRONGER meds taking place so that means it is now time for me to take a 10 min nap and then get the mini cinnis done and then to bed!!!!

Sweet ( cinnamon ) dreams :-)
