A Little Bit of Everything

Our weekend got off to a fun start. Last night after work we met the Stephen's family for dinner at Felipe's. It is home to the famous "Flaming Cazuela". It is a 50 oz concoction of several fruit juices and just about every kind of alcohol you can think of. Just before delivering it to the table it is set on fire. Jeff started off the evening by ordering one. Unfortunately in the picture I took you can't see the flames.


















Grant and Alec finished off the meal with a yummy mexican banana dessert.














The boys all came back to the house to hang out and Becky and I hit the mall. Dillard's had some huge sales going on. Everything on the sale racks, including the shoes, were take an extra 40% off the already reduced price. I got 5 things and I don't think I paid over $13 for any item. That's my favorite kind of shopping!!!

This morning we cleaned house and then went over to visit my grandparents and their new puppy. It is absolutely adorable. It's a bichpoo just like our dog Spiro. They named him Tiger, although they keep calling him Baby most of the time

One of the benefits of being a teacher is having access to the gym. We took Grant and his friend Nick who came over to spend the night out to my school this evening to play catch and do a little batting practice since it was so cold outside. We all know Grant has a powerful swing and he proved once again tonight. While Jeff was pitching him whiffle balls he hit one straight down the center and it popped Jeff right in the mouth. Jeff's lip bled and bled. When we got home he put some ice on it to try to help with the swelling. Boy does he have a fat lip!!! Who knew a whiffle ball could do so much damage. Grant of course feels awful but Jeff kept telling him it wasn't his fault. Jeff had his hands full and just didn't dodge fast enough . . . poor guy

Grant and Nick have stayed busy tonight making posters for their teacher.

































We made ice cream in a bag for dessert tonight. If you have never tried this it is so easy and fun to do with kids. All you do is mix milk, sugar, vanilla and chocolate syrup together and shake it in a bag of ice.














They got a little wild during the shaking part. It's a good thing I sent them out on the deck to do it.
































Grant's bag ended up with a hole in it. I wonder if punching it was a bad idea?!?!?!

















The night ended much earlier than I imagined for the boys. About 45 minutes ago I came downstairs because it had gotten really quiet and they had both fallen asleep watching Gremlins.
