Homemade Porch Chair Cushions
Just a little something that's been on my to do list for quite some time. Finally re-covered the ripped chair pads I had. I think I got the fabric for $1.50 and the zippers were a hand me down craft item from a friend (thank you!).
Cat approved. (Meal is 100% homemade home grown....my own beans, meat/tomatoes/herbs for sloppy joes and homemade hamburger buns).
Family approved too. A picnic outside in November...perfection.
My Party Planners
As we were prepping for a big party today, my littles were helping me bring the paper products into the living room. I told them they could just set them aside for now.
I went to fetch something else and came back to seeing these two kids getting busy. I just stopped, wondering what they were doing, hoping whatever idea they had wouldn't be a gigantic mess.
Then I listened. "Hey Audra, we can't just leave the stuff there. We have to set it up nice. Nice like mama does."
And so, they did. They even raided my Robinson Ransbottom blue striped crocs...which are ordinarily off limits. In situations like these, exceptions are clearly made.
Thankful for my little party planners who got so much ready for our party of 31 amazing folks.

It's LOOSE! And a Monster Tooth Bag
Seriously, it's the news of the year. Adrian's tooth is loose. If you see him, he's definitely going to tell you and probably he'll show you. He is confident his tooth fairy is rich and that said fairy knows how he wants this $7 tractor at the Tractor Supply. He just knows he'll get $7.00 for this wiggly tooth. He cannot wait for it to come out. In fact, he even called the dentist, THE DENTIST and left a message on their answering machine about his wiggly tooth. He figured they probably wanted to know.
In the meantime, look what he made. That's right HE made this. Isn't it cute! It's going to hold that tooth once it falls out. He'll put it under his pillow and then the tooth will be gone and he'll have $7.00.
All that noted, if you are aware of any rich tooth fairies, could you send them our way?

November "Chicken Soup with Rice"
So, we are starting something new over here.
Remember that book "Chicken Soup with Rice" by Maurice Sendak? It's an oldie and a goodie. Copyright 1962. It basically does the months of the year with a little rhyme about eating chicken soup with rice. My kids love old books, and this is no exception.
My kids decided we should make our own "Chicken Soup with Rice" book. So, we are.
Each month, I'll make a soup and we'll take a picture of what it looks like outside. It will be fun noticing how things change. The soup, however, won't always be chicken soup with rice because I am someone who definitely does not repeat any meal 12 times in a year. I can't commit to that! I will make a soup though.
November's edition is chicken noodle soup with collard greens and other misc. veggies.
"In November's gusy gale
I will flop my flippy tail
and spout hot soup.
I'll be a whale!
Spouting once
Spouting twice
spouting chicken soup with rice."

Dairy Barn
Thankful for such a good trip with our 4-H crew. That Adrian can't pass up a trip to any farm. That Audra can't pass up an opportunity to be social. Win-win.
A single batch is never enough....
Go big or go home. Or if you are at home, just stay home and eat granola all day and forever. I will not complain about that one bit. It's been much too long since I've made it. Recipe here.
