Some good clean fun?!

[_Stacy_]

It's funny what they pick up. For the longest time DD would say that anything with "Sears" on it read "the mall"

 

[irishrose]

I was thinking of doing the seasons and a fleur de lis. But now with my Lent thing I won't get them done in time. So I may just give them as they get done. I dunno!

[Colleenka]

I guess it is because I always park at Sears and that is the door we go through, so she thought that was the sign for the mall.

[Colleenka]

You could always give the chair and just one or two pillows. It will still be a lovely gift. Did you say you were doing 14 inch square pillows? Heck, just the chair will be a lovely gift.

[irishrose]

Yep, 14 inch pillows. I just have to add the buttons to the snowflake one, and I've started the many rows of sc's on the fleur de lis one. I wish I could crochet faster!

[irishrose]

Stacy, what's paczka? (Did I spell that right?)

[Colleenka]

Hey Shannon, did you see this? http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/BabyChild/WR1757+Vest+and+Hat+Baby%E2%80%99s+Gone+a+Hunting.htm

 

If you ever go for #2 this will be a must have.

[irishrose]

I better go. I need to clean the bathroom, take a shower, and get the heating pad on my back. I'll try to come back later! Love you all!!

[irishrose]

That is too funny, Colleen! I'll be expecting that from you as a baby gift if it ever happens! DH is going to love it!

[Colleenka]

I'll make it for you for sure. I thought when I mentioned a #2 there you just bolted to clean the bathroom I'll be around on-and-off.

[irishrose]

You're cracking me up! Ok, gotta go. DH is home!

[a_stitchintime]

, I am back.... again...

I could have gotten away with staying too...if it weren't for these meddling kids!

 

Stacy - your coffee sounds yummy!

 

Colleen - Sears is also my mall:lol

[_Stacy_]

Hey girls! Sorry, my girls wanted dinner. Colleen, paczki is a deep-fried, filled doughnut. It's Polish- originally made on Fat Thursday (though some communities, rather, all of them nowadays on Fat Tuesday) to use up all of the eggs, sugar, etc. before the fasting of Lent. Yummy, but I hate to think about what they do to one's insides!

[Colleenka]

It was Shannon who asked about the paczki. I am not a big donut fan, particularly not that kind of donut, but my DH loves them. My MIL makes potato pancakes for pancake Tues. but she makes them on Ash Wed because you are not supposed to eat meat, so that makes more sense to her. We are going there tomorrow for our potato pancakes. Pancakes here tonight, at school tomorrow and potato pancakes for supper tomorrow. Do you think we've had enough pancakes.

 

How are the cupcakes, LeaAnne?

[a_stitchintime]

so, Stacy, what did you all have for dinner?

 

... it was very nice of that teacher to teach the children where it is NOT healthy to eat!

[a_stitchintime]

the cupcakes are, in a word.... YUM!

 

Perfect last treat... and my DK's have all decided to give up soda:clap

[a_stitchintime]

not that they really have a lot of it, but they sure do enjoy it!

Momma's proud of a good choice!

[Colleenka]

Oh good for them, LeaAnne. I should try that.

[Colleenka]

I am going to call it a night. I'm all buggy-eyed from sitting at the computer so long But it is so nice to fill up on my besties fix after a weekend away. I also have to go hang up that laundry I started.

 

Love you guys Have a great night!

[a_stitchintime]

:huglove you too, Colleen!!!

Have a great night!

[a_stitchintime]

i gotta go... post playdate tired meltdowns... cuddles needed.

 

nitey nite!

[_Stacy_]

Oh, Colleen- I knew that! After I walked away from the computer, I was like, "Hmmm...I think Shannon asked about that." Enjoy your pancakes-all-day tomorrow. I potato pancakes.

 

Leanne, glad to hear your cupcakes were yummy. And WTG to your chickens for giving up soda. Since you asked- my kids had pancakes for dinner!

Jorge had ribs leftover from lunch, so he had those, and I had granola with yogurt. I'm starting to re-think the coffee idea. I eat way too much cheese/yogurt/dairy products, so I'm thinking of giving that up instead. That would be really, really hard, though. Would rice milk or soy cheese count? Hmmm...

 

Well I need to go work on a few things finished, so I better get going. Good night, friends!

Just popping in to say good night before I go to bed. Canada won the hockey game and our 2nd gold medal today How fun is that?!

 

Mary - I bet you are enjoying your DGD. She must be about 1 now?

 

Joanne - I still can't get over how much you are crocheting lately! I'm kinda jealous

 

Vicki - I hope you are staying warm.

 

Beth - I hope you get a good night's sleep. When you are tired you just have to rest. Have a nap or a big sleep in now and then. Are you still on the soda wagon?

 

Stacy - I don't think you should give up dairy products entirely. They are so good for you. Calcium, protein. Maybe you should look at the recommended daily allowance and see if you really are eating too much. Women need calcium

 

LeaAnne - I hope your chickens made it through the post-playdate meltdowns and into bed.

 

Shannon - Good luck getting to Walmart tomorrow.

 

Scooby - Missing you girl!

 

Sarah - Still thinking about you and praying for your family. Any news on DH's truck?

 

C4J, Chaya, Frogger, Judy, and all our friends.

 

Good night friends

[_Stacy_]

Thanks, Colleen. I told dh and he said that would be too easy. I'm not worried about the calcium/protein, I'm more worried about the cholesterol.

 

for Canada winning the hockey game. The hosting country should always win lots of medals.

 

Good night, friends! (Really, this time. )
