Spilled Milk

WARNING! Long post with 3 random and unrelated stories. This may be boring to some of you, but I am posting this for scrapbook and memory purposes.

Last night we went shopping at Old Navy. I found the cutest dress shirt and tie for Adam. The tie had skull and crossbones on it (a skull is always perfect for church huh? :) Adam loves anything pirate or anything with a skull, so I thought this would be perfect. He looked so cute in it. Had I know the events that would have unfolded I would have taken a picture of him in it before we left for church this morning. But instead, I am posting this picture from the website so you can see how cute it was.

Anyway, every Sunday morning we have a tradition of stopping at Sheetz for doughnuts and coffee on our way to church. Choc Milk for Adam. I know, only the best for my family! We were driving down the road and I heard Adam shaking up his choc milk...can you see where this is going? Well you guessed it. We were about a mile from church when milk went flying all over the place. All over the car and YES, all over the new shirt and tie that I loved!!!! AAHHHHHH!

Here is a picture of the window. This is just a glimpse of the damage

Thankfully, Adam had insisted on wearing his favorite t shirt under the dress shirt that morning, so we were able to continue on to church.after cleaning up the damage. He is smiling in this picture because he didnt want to wear the tie in the first place so he was thrilled when he got to take it off.

Another funny story from Adam this week

We bought a devotional book for Adam so that we could do family devotions each night. The book said it was for boys between the ages of 6 - 9. Evidently it is much more for 9 year old then for 6 year olds. It uses alot of analogies that are WAY over Adams head. A few nights ago we were reading and it was telling a story about Peter fishing in shallow water and Jesus took him to deep waters. At the end of the devotions, it asked the question "How can you step into deeper water with Jesus?" Mark and I just looked at each other and rolled our eyes because we are frustrated with this book and it was yet one more thing that would be over Adams head. Then Adam said he knew the answer. He was dead serious and said "Use a floatie".

And now....My new favorite

For some of you that live in the bigger cities, I know this will be old news to you. But we just got a Make&Take in Lynchburg. I think there are several other franchises like this with different names. For those of you who dont know about these places, it is basically set up with professional kitchen stations and you can go in and cook a bunch of meals and take them home and freeze them. For some of you who really enjoy cooking and baking this may not be for you. But I dread cooking dinner every night, especially when I have been working all day. More than not liking cooking, I dread having to come up with something new to make each night. So this place is a DREAM. I go in and cook all my meals for a week in one hour and dont have to clean up a thing. The meals are excellent and all the ingredients are fresh, so it does not taste like typical frozen food. I resisted doing this at first because I thought it would be more expensive. But, I have actually saved money and we have stopped going out to eat so much because there is always something for dinner. OK, so that was my plug for Make and Take Gourmet. This was not a paid advertisement.

Me at mt station. Mental note - do not use this pose in the future. My butt looks HUGE!

Look how beautiful this place is. So clean. I love it!
