Cute

Karen, thanks that is really cute.  I think that is awesome.  It is supposed to freeze on Wednesday so I spent most of the day clearing out the garden.  I have attached pictures of everything but the squash.  I am not sure what to do with it all yet but I will figure it out.  I sewed today with Jenn and Raquel came over also.  It was fun.  I finished the mystery quilt.  I just have to put the border on.  Isaac woke up so I wasn't able to do that.  I will put a picture on tomorrow.  We went to story time today and that was fun.  Isaac looked at a truck book and I attached a picture.  Casey isn't feeling great he just has a little cold.  I hope that everyone has a good night and a good day tomorrow.

Love
Rachel

Lunch in

For the work lunchin we are having spooky soups and salads. So here is the recipe I found to make.

 

Supplies:

• Large Mixing Bowl
• Spatula or Spoonula
• Small Paring Knife
• Serving Platter

Salad Ingredients:

• 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
• 1 pound boiled potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 pound pound carrots, cubed
• 2 hard boiled eggs, finely diced
• 1 celery stick, finely diced

Dressing:

• 1/2 cup garlic mayonnaise (make your own by adding a finely minced garlic clove to a 1/2 cup of mayo)
• 1 Tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp prepared horseradish
• salt and pepper

Garnish:

• 1 pound green grapes, cut in half lengthwise
• Ketchup (as desired)

Instructions:
Mix garlic mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl with spatula or spoonula for the dressing. Use a lower fat mayo if you prefer. I personally like the full flavored regular mayonnaise from Kraft. Your preference may vary however.
Add the rest of the salad ingredients to the dressing and mix well.
Take a serving platter and form 1/2 ball shape out of salad.
Divide the salad to 2 hemispheres with your spatula.
Cover the entire surface with the halved grapes, if they don’t stick add a little more mayo and use like a glue.
Squirt around the edges with ketchup and squirt a little more in between the hemispheres of the brain so it will look like blood

Just in case anyone else would like to try it. The party is on Friday so I will let you know then how it turned out. It looks creepy ate least. Well I was tired this morning but I made it thru the day. Work was good so that helped. If it was boring I don't think I would have made it. Well I hope that everyone had a great day. BYE

Moving right along

We did it! Actually Karen did a lot of it.  Thanks Karen.  The table is put together and 3 of the chairs.  We had some minor malfunctions but we are moving in the right place.  Robin, your apartment is really nice.  We got most of the boxes moved also.  So it will be just a few more to move during the week.  Rachel I am sorry I didn't email you today.  It just crazy today.  I am not sure why either.  I hope you had a good day.  It ws so pretty outside.  I love this time of year.  Have a great Tuesday.

No pictures for me

Tell Casey the wall looks really nice.  It will be good for you guys to have that room back.  I had a good day.  I finished up two burb clothes and I tried some new yarn.  I took pictures of them to post on the blog but they didn't end up on my email and I deleted them off my phone.  I am trying to get pictures.  I do so enjoy them.  I will try again.  I also worked on my bow tie quilt. It is moving along.  Not too much left to do.  I helped Robin pack a little bit this morning and she is getting ready for the move.  Not much else to report.  Yesterday I just ran errands and then took a 3 hour nap.  I couldn't believe that I slept that long.  I just rested my eyes for a minute.  I will try to take a picture tomorrow and see if I can get it loaded onto the blog.  Have a great Monday.  LOVE MOM

Walls

We had a good weekend.  We put up dry wall downstairs.  Casey did most of it.  It looks really good.  He finished doing the spackle it today also.  Casey didn't work yesterday but work for a while today.  Yesterday we went to Lowe's first and then we went and watched the homecoming parade, it was fun and Isaac really liked it.  We also picked up some pumpkins on our way home.  We were going to carve them today but didn't get to it.  Hopefully sometime this week.  We spend the rest of the day working downstairs. When Isaac took his nap I ran to the fabric store and picked up the last mystery quilt.  It was the big revel and it is a cute quilt.  I also went to Bernina and got a back for the purple quilt 30% off.  It was pretty fun to go by myself.  Today was good.  We just stayed at home in the morning.  Isaac wouldn't go down for his nap since we kind of slept in.  So I just went to all of church.  He did really good in Sacrament and nursery.  Near the end he was getting tired so when we got home I put him down and he took a hour and half nap.  Last night I cut up all the rest of our tomatoes which was 60!! and made spaghetti sauce.  It turned out really good, I didn't make it as spicy.  I think that will be the end of the tomatoes or at least it is going to be a lot less.  I think that is all I have I hope that everyone had a nice weekend.  Good luck starting the move tomorrow.

Love
Rachel
