Super Suppers....

Hello friends...

Charlotte Guffin and I went to Super Suppers today to make some food. Super Suppers (SS from now on) is a place where you go and make meals for your family. Bring them home and put them in the freezer. When you get ready to have a home cooked meal, you pull one out and cook it. Fabulous idea! So Ronnie and I were discussing our SS meals with Charlotte at the beach this summer and she thought she would like to do that. Well, today was the day! We met at the church at 9:45. We head over to Vestavia where SS is located. When we got there I asked Charlotte if she'd like to go see where Rick and Bubba broadcast from. SS is located in the same center as the Rick and Bubba Broadcast Plaza and Teleport. She said OF COURSE! So we go up the stairs. They were doing the closed broadcast feeds (big names for commercials for other radio stations). I took her picture in front of the big window. Then we headed back downstairs to SS.

We walk in the store and we make our selections from the menu. Charlotte signs up for email alerts and we get our aprons. This make her feel very special. Next we go to wash our hands...you know working with food you have to be clean. This is a hilarious story...They have a hand washing area. This includes a sink, foam soap dispenser, foam hand sanitizer dispenser, and paper towel dispenser. So I go over and wash my hands. Charlotte comes over to wash her hands and can't really figure out where the soap is. I say...it is the black one on the right. So she puts her hand under the black dispenser and waits. Waiting for the foam to hit her hand I suppose. So I say...push the button. She says...there is no button. I say...ummm ok push with the palm of your hand so the foam comes out into your fingers. She says OOOHHHHH OK! Then proceeds to wash her hands. Yes I know we have only washed our hands...just wait until we get to the meatloaf!

Now that we have washed our hands, we can start making our food. We picked the Italian sausage and bean Casserole. That was an easy one for her to start with. She did pretty well for her first time. Next we moved to the Baja Burritos. This time all you had to do was measure out everything and put it in a bag. Pretty simple. We moved on the the Taco Meatloaf. This is where it gets dirty... We were measuring and dumping and the next step was to "mix well". I decided to get my hands dirty and get the "mix well" under way. I start mixing with my hands just like you would do at home with a normal meatloaf. This did not sit well with Ms. Charlotte. She mixed some with the spoon and then she said...forget it...I will get my hands dirty too. So she began to mix with her hands. She did NOT like that at all. Good times. Just ask us for more info...

So, now that we are half way through with our preparing, I decide to video Charlotte making her Chicken Pot Pie. Hilarious stuff. Those videos will come as soon as I get them loaded. After the Chicken Pot Pie we finished up with Steak with Mushroom sauce. Paige, the owner of SS, took a

picture with Charlotte and her NEW SS tshirt.

Super Suppers...

I am taking Charlotte Guffin to Super Suppers this morning so it should be great FUN!!!

Check back later...

School...

Ok so we have a 4th grader and one in K3 now. WOW time flies. Price started preschool on Monday. He had no issues beginning in his new room. Ran right in. Of course it helps that mom has a hand in who is in his class so his friends were there with him.

Kaitlyn started school on Wednesday. She was sooooo very excited. She has Mrs. Bean this year. We met her Monday night. She seemed to be very organized and it should be a good year. Kaitlyn hasn't had much trouble with school...yet! Because traffic is so crazy around the schools right now (they are widening the road beside the schools), Kaitlyn has agreed to ride the bus in the mornings and some afternoons. She rode the bus Thursday morning and afternoon. Price and I got her on the bus and DaddaRick was there when she got off in the afternoon. Our neighbors ride so she is not all alone. Price cried when she left. It was very sweet. He was being the little brother and didn't want her to leave without him.

Busy Week

Since I last posted we have had a busy weekend and following week. Last Friday night we had an Olympic Opening Ceremonies party at Lakeshore Foundation. Daddy got us tickets. There was GREAT Chinese food and really good fireworks. (I wonder who did those? ;-) ) Kaitlyn spent the night with her friend Kyndall and Aunt Rachel came over for some one on one time with Price. I think that is the first time she has had him all to herself. Aunt Rachel and Kaitlyn are VERY close. They spent alot of time together while Rachel lived in Gardendale. So having Price all to herself was good.

Saturday night Kaitlyn had Kyndall over to spend the night and go to church with us Sunday morning. When we got home from lunch, they wanted to jump on the trampoline. Well, DaddaRick brought them some Chinese umbrellas from the party Friday night and they thoroughly enjoyed them. They jumped on the trampoline and hid from Price with their umbrellas.

After a full weekend...School started....

New things...

Thanks to Gramma and GT for the golf set and Lightning & Mack Mega Blocks set. We have enjoyed them soooo much! We play golf about as much as basketball these days.

We went to a "Meet & Greet" tonight for one of our perspective City Councilman at Hamburger Heaven. It was good. Price REALLY enjoyed the "Deer Hunter" game. He was shootin' everything and everybody.

In case you are wondering where Kaitlyn is all this time...she is with a friend spending the night. I will get some new things on her soon. First day of school is coming up...4th Grade...Mercy where the time goes...

Basketball

I am really getting in to this thing. Price is so into balls of any description...football, baseball, basketball...you get the picture. So The Guffin's got him a "cool basketball" while we were at the beach and he has had a blast with it. Shooin it in da hoe (Shooting it in the hole in Price talk). So DaddaRick got him a goal yesterday and that is all we have been doing since.
