...not much going on the rest of today...
courtney had her saturday dance workshop this morning, so after i dropped her off, i went to the bowling alley to watch tyler finish up his last 2 games...he bowled great again today..all 3 games over his average AND he was very excited to show me his new badges he earned over the last couple weeks...
*100 - single
*125 - single
*I Beat My Average
*Bowler of the Month for Oct. 10
WAY TO GO lil' man!!! so happy for you!
...tomorrow morning he is bowling in his first "Bowl Off" to qualify as a Single Rep for the upcoming Four Steps to Stardom tournament ( it's the biggie for YBC - youth bowling council ) anyway...there are 5 boys trying out and only 4 spots available...being his first year of bowling, and really only 2 months of experience, we are looking at his trying out as fun exposure to a little competition and some more experience ( he has to bowl 5 games, as opposed to his usual 3 game saturdays! ) ...the spots are awarded to highest "pins over average" at the end of the bowl off....so it's anybody's day in the end!!
GO FOR IT TYLER!!!!
( i'll let you know how he makes out tomorow...)
AND on another bowling note for tyler...we were told he has qualified in the top 12 spots to bowl in another tournament in December...it's called the Master Bantam Junior tournament, and he is soooooo stoked about it!!
WHEW...so that's the bowling update!
courtney.
yep, these are her LEGS at dance lessons this morning....
that kid grows out of pants like nobody's business, believe you me! she was officially
"taller than Mom" last december and has not stopped....pants bought in sept. are now too short.
Holy. Growing. Beanstalk. Batman.

"play with me, woman."
so i gave him a mohawk.

we spent the whole day on Rembembrance Day at mike's parents in woodmore...
Gramma Liz was a great sport and came along with the kids and I while driving around neighboring farms to find good places for pics..
it was very windy and cold out and everyone was very cooperative about "jackets on, jackets off" for the pictures!
...i took 91 pics that afternoon, so here's just a FEW of my favs!!

...while warming up and waiting to eat dinner, tyler found a spot in the middle of the living room to pop a squat and finish reading the newest "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book....done in a day!
...thanks for a fun, relaxing day Gramma Liz...and a yummy dinner too!!!

extra notes....
so fun. so cute. wanna make one??
...bring water to a boil, add chicken bouillon.
...while bringing water to a boil, saute italian sausage and crushed red peppers in the same pan used for the bacon,onion and garlic puree. once water is boiling add bacon & onion mix.
...i found the ground sausage to be very lean and sticking to my pan so i added 1tsp of olive oil.
while italian sausage is cooking, slice your potatoes. 
...cover and let simmer together for about 20mins. add kale just before serving.
...i also made a quick and yummy little bread treat to have with our soup...
..slice baguette into 1/2 inch pieces, baste with olive oil, shake with Epicure herb and garlic seasoning ( Mrs. Dash or any other favorite seasoning is perfect! ) then top with grated cheese. broil on high for 2 minutes. ( don't go far while broiling to keep watch! )
...serve hot out of the oven with a bowl of your freshly made soup!!!
( and once again, and modifications you try to this recipe are welcome to share in my comments! )
...I hope you all take a moment to share some Remembering with your kids tomorrow...
...this was our SUNRISE yesterday morning...beautiful!!
...i felt so bad leaving him there in this jail - like little cage...sorry buddy!!!
...but we got a call from the vet in the afternoon saying Oliver was awake and doing well...his surgery went fine with no problems at al...we were a little worried with some of the sad stories of loss of bunnies under gas anaesthesia.
...awwwww...cuddles for Ollie....
...heehee...he's still a little groggy in these pics...
...and these are his FUN oral pain meds til friday night that we have to give him!
Fresh flowers make me smile.
