Bountiful Baskets – Local Fruit & Veggies
A couple of weeks ago, a friend & fellow homeschooler, mentioned that she was just getting home from her Co-op with a ton of fruits and veggies for a GREAT price.

Boy this has been a busy week… and yes, I know it’s only Tuesday! This has been the first chance I’ve had to blog since last week. Which is good on a lot of levels, but not so good for blogging.
Breaking The Mom Code?

Hot Myspace Comments – Dezrum.com
Is there some sort of Mom Code? If there is, I’m thinking about breaking one of the rules in the code. LOL! If there is a code, and if this is part of it, that is.
Friends 4Ever Friendship Bracelet Kit by Alex Toys
When I was in high school, friendship bracelets were all the rage. I can remember sitting in class, with a safety pin pinned on my jeans, a knot of embroidery thread attached to the pin, and me making these bracelets through out the day. The type of bracelets I made were more like macrame than weaving though. So mine always came out with the same pattern, diagonal stripes. Only the colors were different. But I still made them constantly. I think I wore 2 or three all the time and gave them to all my friends. I wore them until they basically rotted off from all the showers… cuz of course I never took them off. LOL!
Saturday’s Project
So this weekend we decided that we needed a new BBQ. Not because our old one wasn’t working, mostly because it’s just kinda old, and small and Lowes was having a sale on BBQ’s. We stopped by there and looked at the ones they had on sale and found just about the perfect one for our family. It’s a pretty big one, not horribly huge, but big enough to have 6 or so steaks on the grill, plus it has a side burner for sauces and a top rack for buns and things. Since we were having a BBQ with my mom & sister for the 4th, we figured it was perfect and we got it. Then the boys and Steve had to put it together. hehehe, while I took pictures! If I was going to have to be in the hot sun, I figured I would take some pictures of their progress!
