The second day of 100 degrees.
We discovered yesterday that our air conditioner does not work.
oops.
Good thing I am using the crock pot for dinner tonight.
We are trying a new recipe...Chicken Cacciatore.
Griffin has a t-ball game at 4:30...hope he doesn't melt.

That's it for Easter.
Saturday we have 2 basketball games, one T-ball game, one Softball game, I have to work the snack shack, Dad is moving his work office so he has to go down to Ontario to over see.
Congrates to Christopher for taking his LAST FINAL EVER! He is still working on that thesis.
Zak is watching the Godfather movies in school. I enjoy his recaps.

A Little Extra Cash
Are you looking for some extra cash?
Here are a few ways that I have used lately to make a bit:
I started to recycle all the plastic and aluminum bottles that I could find and I have found a lot. Each bottle is like picking up a nickle and I am happy to pick them up. In California when we buy a plastic or aluminum container, we have to pay 5 cents up front for the recycle value. I collect the containers and turn them in for that money. I collect them at my daughter's softball games and my son's track meets and from the containers we use at home. It's been great!
I have had several garage sales! They are a lot of work, but I have made over $100 at each sale. That's $100 more than I had before I started!
I have worked at the snack shack at my daughter's softball games. W
e sell a lot of sunflower seeds.
I "opened" an online store! My latest item is an apron. I love my apron. I wear it all the time, it protects my clothes and I just
don't feel right if I don't have it on while cooking or doing the dishes. You can check out the other items at my store here: handbagsandsuch.blogspot.com
(Thanks, Angie, for modeling for me!)
That's what works for me!

What's a Skillet?
Chase wrote a very funny letter this week. Here is a taste. If you want more, go here:
(For those who don't know, Chase is serving a mission in Texas. He is currently in the city of Richmond. He is a fabulous person.) If you would like to know more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, go here.
From Chase:
So..last week I saw some Bratwursts (basically big hot dogs) in Wal-Mart and I decided to buy them because I remember last year before a BYU football game someone made some and they were really good. I didn't really have any idea about how to cook them, but I knew I would figure it out. Well, on the back it gave you instructions on how to cook them. You could either cook them on the BBQ or in a skillet. I didn't know how to work the Randall's BBQ so I knew I had to cook it in the skillet. The only problem is that I had no idea what a skillet was. By the way, my companion bought some too, so we were both trying to figure this out. We looked in all the cupboards for something that looked like a "skillet." Well, soon Sister Randall came home and she saw us looking around for this skillet thing and so we turned around and asked her what the heck a skillet is. She laughed and laughed and told us its a frying pan. Well, now I know what a skillet is, but I have no idea why they don't just call it a frying pan.

Never Happened Before In My 25 Years of Mothering...and it didn't even happen to me!
I was talking to Griffin this morning, then I noticed he seemed to be missing something in his mouth! I looked to be sure, and yes, he has LOST HIS TOOTH! He had NO idea! We do NOT know when he lost it....guessing in the last 18 hours.
Happy boy
