Guys day





The men of our church went shooting on Saturday. Rob left here at 7am and did not get back until 6pm. Michael and Rob had the best time. I am so excited to find a church that does things with the men. I am even more excited that Rob and Michael got to spend the day doing something they love together.

bunny bear





Last week Grace and I went to a friends birthday party. It was so much fun. We left really early and went shopping together. Then we got to the mall really early and had time to walk the whole mall by ourselves. Then we went to build a bear for the party. Believe it or not, we have Never taken any of our kids to build a bear. She was so cute, the first half of the party she just clung to me and wanted nothing o do with anyone else. By the end she was okay and having fun. After the party I took her back to build of bear and we bought her bunny a outfit and shoes. That was so much fun. Just to be able to go in with one of them and give her all of my attention. I did ask a friend to sew on the bunnies pants and shoes because they kept coming off. She calls her bunny Gracie. She also says it is bunny bear. Thank you so much Sophie for inviting us to your party and letting us have a great day.

Do you think I forgot about you




It has been a great week. Friday night I had my pampered chef show and it was an amazing hit. I honestly was in prayers as I looked around and saw everyone. I felt so loved (and that was before I saw the orders). We had a great time and I enjoyed seeing some friends I had not seen in a long time. We made yummy pork sandwhiches and it was amazing. We cooked 4 pounds of pork in 8 minutes in the microwave, I could not believe it. She said you could cook a chicken in 15 minutes. I really want the crock we used. Then Saturday our boys went on a gun play date so the girls and I stayed home. It was amazing, I layed on the couch all day. I wrestled with Hope which she loved. Then today we went to church and came home and I went in my room for 3 hours and watched a movie and slept. Then woke up and had a tea party with Faith. Where she informed me that it is rude to put your pinky out while you drink from a cup.
I am really looking forward to this week. I recieved all of Michaels new school books on Friday and they look amazing. I have been playing with the hard drive and it looks really easy. I spent Saturday morning cleaning off bookshelves and re arranging school material. I should have done this before I had guest over. It is fall break here for the public school kids. Not for us but that means all of our extra activities are not going on. I look forward to being home.
Rob starts school this week, which means we should know this week if anyone wants to swap with him. I am anxious to find out and just move on. I mean make a plan of knowing what is next for sure.
oh in case you wanted to order but did not get a chance, here is how she said to do it. They can go to my website, www.pamperedchef.biz/karenthompson. Then they click on Shop Online, enter your name as the host, and go from there. Whatever they order will count for your show

Rainbow cake






I made the rainbow cake they featured on MckMamma and loved it. I did it a little differently. I made 6 different cake mixes. Because i was making 2 rainbow cakes and then I used the extra to make cupcakes. I used the coloring I use to make my icing normally.
I did freeze it between every 2 layers and then for a few hours before i took it out of the house. The second one I took to my homeschool group and it set out for over 4 hours and still looked good. I used about a cup and a quarter of each color. Everyone loved it.
by the way tonight is my pampered chef show if you would like to place a order, you do not even need to live locally.

Rob is deploying

He was checking his e-mail tonight and got a message from his new unit. We knew they were deployed so we thought we would miss the deployment this time. They said they know he arrives my march 1 and he will deploy by april 1. that way he has time to get his family settled. WHAT! So i am trying not to swear and pitch a fit right now but it is hard. I guess i should not complain, they got there in August so I assume they come home in August which means he would only be gone 5 months.
We have survived Albania, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Iraq. So what is a third trip to the sandbox, nothing right.
Okay I am going to go to bed so I will be doing great for my pampered chef show tomorrow. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, SHOOT SHOOT SQUARE, SWEAR $#%^$%&*%$$%*^$&*%$&#. OKAY MOTTO OF MY LIFE
SUCK IT UP AND DRIVE ON.
