Ballet Lessons

My niece, Ruth, is taking her very first ballet lessons this fall!  She is SO excited to get to wear a tutu and take her lessons faithfully one night a week for the next 15 weeks.  An added bonus is that at the end of every class, each little ballerina receives a sticker for all her hard work.  Ruthie's mommy thought that it might be nice if Aunt Molly could make a special ballet chart where Ruthie can put all of her stickers after each class.  What a great idea Mommy!!  So Aunt Molly got to work...

 
 

Sorry, but I had no tutus or ballerina stickers to add some pizzaz to my little ballerina's sticker chart...perhaps Aunt Molly will have to take a little walk down the sticker aisle next time she's at Pat Catan's and see what she can find!  :)  Have fun with ballet classes, Ruthie!  :)

Christmas 2013

Another Christmas has come and gone...why does it always go so fast?!?!?  I was grateful to be off this Christmas so I could enjoy the day with my family.  I kicked off the morning with my parents and a delicious pan of caramel french toast!  YUM!!!  Then, the rest of the family arrived and we enjoyed a feast of food before diving into all the presents that were under the tree.  The kids were lots of fun to watch as the opened all their gifts...here are a few snapshots of the chaos fun... Cooper being his usual ornery self Lily Ann and her Mama Lily Ann and Ruthie opening presents Cooper is really getting into this present thing! Lily got a barbie! Luke was so funny...he opened one gift and then played with it for 30 minutes before returning to open another... I think he was saying, "Oh WOW!" in response to a toy that made noises...and then he would grab his cheeks in disbelief!  :)  It was hilarious! Cooper like...

Scutterbotch Pie

This is totally not on "the list" for this summer, but I've been wanting to try it for awhile, so I'm including it on the blog this week. When I was a kid, my absolute FAVORITE kind of pie was scutterbotch.  Instead of birthday cakes, I would request scutterbotch pie.  My Grandma Lane used to make it for me from time to time just because I loved it.  My Mom made it for holidays and special occasions and it was oh so good!!!  :)  Life happened and I moved away and the scutterbotch pies came less often.  I can't remember the last time I had a piece of scutterbotch pie.  About a month or so ago, I wanted to make it for some reason...can't recall why.  I didn't have the time then, but decided to give it a go today.  It wasn't TOO terribly difficult, although, I resisted the urge to call my mom in the middle of my pie-making endeavor when I read "brown the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat" and thought to myself, "BROWN the BROWN...

Number 9

9)  Go to the city and do some shopping at an outdoor shopping center. A month or so ago, I drove to Dayton, Ohio to meet up with two of the best friends in the world!  It was a quick trip, but jam-packed with lots of girl-talk, shopping, and yummy treats!  On the way home from this trip, I felt the "call of the mall" and I gave in.  I stopped off at a beautiful outdoor shopping center in Dayton called "The Greene."  Oh.  My.  Goodness.  I could've shopped for two whole days there!!  I only had about an hour, so I limited myself to a store called " Charming Charlie " that I LOVE looking through.  They have just about ANY style and color of jewelry you could ever possibly want.  I had lots of fun dreaming of all the fun jewelry that I would have loved to have purchase, but I was a good girl and left it all in the store.  ;)
