Date Night at the Scout Restaurant *****

Jarom's Boy Scout Troop 521 pulled off an excellent dinner for their Boy Scouts Fundraiser.  The food was DIVINE!!!  Jarom's Boy Scout Master is a chef, they cater dinners for Microsoft and other such higher end business functions.  Chef Ramsey is his name ironically enough, it must be in the name.  With his direction, the boys did a fantastic job and it was a night that left you wanting more dinners like it.  Can I hire him on as our personal family chef?  But wouldn't that be a dream?!  It was a three course meal with after dinner treats (some coconut balls and also some chocolate dipped p.butter yummies and a rose for the ladies at the end of the evening- how about that!)  Everything was so tasty down to the butter/garlic/herb who knows what spread (but was it ever good stuff) that you spread on the bread before the dinner even began!  I can only imagine how much work it must have been on the part of the leaders (boy scouts aside) but we're keeping our fingers crossed this will turn into a traditional fundraiser for years to come.  We invited Matt's parents and they're still talking about it.  The boys went through a bit of training on the cooking and serving end before the event and they were all very professional about their jobs.  There were candles and white lights, very Five Star-ish Restaurant style.  Jarom was a cook for the evening but also got to pass out roses at the end of the night so guess who ended up with two roses?  The perks of my son's job~they all did a great job.

Jarom went home with his buddy Layton after the evening was over for a sleep over.  Matt left our pay check at work in Kent, so we extended our date to World CNG after the Scout restaurant so we could pick up our check and deposit it so we could get our mortgage paid.  Since I had my camera, I was able to snap a few pics of the vehicles they are working on at the present time.  Since Matt has been driving one of the CNG Impala's, he took me by the filling station to let me fill up the tank for my first Compressed Natural Gas fill-up, we were surrounded by quite a few big buses filling up.  I was a rookie and needed a little assistance but now that I know how to do it, maybe it'd be easier my second time round.  

PB&J Prayer Order

October 16, 2011

I'll just let the pictures explain the thinking concept and process of this little "attention getter" I used for one of my sharing times this month in primary focused on the theme of Prayer.  An easy lesson anyone could use for their own children for Family Night as well.

I had became a bit forgetful on the process and steps of making a PB& J sandwich- so with the help of the children they instructed and corrected me as I put the four steps of making my sandwich together.

God is our Father and we are His children; because we are not in His presence, He has given
us a way to talk to Him. Just as we make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich in a certain way and order, Heavenly Father has given us a way to pray to Him.

Fall Indoor Craziness

 Weekend sleepovers complete with acrobatic performances by the younger boys.

 One crazy looking green tomato from the garden.

Brooke's boots of choice and her crazy hair.

 Yearly Spooking our Neighbors Halloween Season Event for family night.  We make up our goodie bags full for Halloween fun and then drop them on the door steps, ring the door bell three times and dash off, it's a crazy thrill making every attempt not to get detected.

YOU’VE BEEN SPOOKED!
The Air is Crisp
The Season is Fall
Soon Halloween will come to All
The Ghosts are Out
The Gobblins Too
With many scary tricks to play on You
But don’t be frightened
Over this little Spook
For it’s not a cast or a Spell
It’s only to wish you All
A Happy Halloween and Well
Now take the Treats
Gobble them up Everyone
And remember on Halloween night
To be ever so safe and have so much Fun!!!!

Brooklynne is in Ellie's American Dolls Glasses, a crazy perfect fit?

Some crazy big pumpkins Grandma and Grandpa Noble dropped by from their garden, they stayed the night on their way over to Grandma Cordle's to spend some time with her in Chehalis for her 80th b-day this week.

Jarom our computer man set G-pa up on skype so the fam was skyping my brother Wes, Shae and their kids Blake and Jaxn.  Brooke tried on her Halloween costum of Miss Minnie Mouse G-ma brought over for her and her cousins had their costumes on over the skype picture screen as well.

Doing some projects and making some paper airplanes to keep busy.

Checking out the pumpkins, squash and some popcorn pumpkin balls G-ma brought over for the kids.
