this is how we do it baby!

I'm sure you're wondering why on EARTH I would post a picture of a blank wall.

But, don't worry... IT ISN'T A MISTAKE!

.... that's right.... it's a freakin' macaroni noodle!
I have no idea if it was PUT there or FLICKED there or what!??




And I wish my son was a little smarter... but sometimes he surprises me!
The day BEFORE I took this picture, he was doing the same exact thing. HoWeVeR--he was trying to get down and was kind of slipping, and grabbed the old, sun dried, rotted tarp for leverage and of course it just ripped!
luckily... he was not injured and I lectured him forever on how lucky he is that he didn't break anything, cause I'm pretty sure he fell mostly from all the way at the top! (dork..)
.

Poor-Poor-Leuscher!!
Will we EvEr leave him alone? But I figure if he gets on my nerves sometimes, then I will most certainly do things to irritate him.. hehehehe!
MEET.. Abe Lincoln (recognize the hat Molly??)

And finally...
Din Din time!! Growing up, my sister would MAKE me eat homemade pizza and I hated it everytime. It was never as good as the real thing.
But I got free pizza dough, and decided to give it a try and let the kids help!

I must say, I TRULY enjoyed making the pizza with them! They had a blast and so did I.
And the pizza wasn't half bad either. I'll definitely need to 'pizzaz' the flavor a little more next time, but it was fun & pretty good!




One last pose w/ the final product. Instead of saying 'cheese' we made them say 'pizza' and somehow Kiersten made this face while doing it... wierdo!!

I would agree that nothing is better than store bought pizza! I'm really excited to see how your patio turns out.

at least it was a macaroni noodle and not a boogie flicked on the wall.

and that dog is probably humiliated!

Pizza looks good. You'll have to come with your mom in a couple o' months when I do an "All things wheat" mini enrichment class and you can learn to make whole wheat pizza dough that is totally pizzazed up. Shar taught me and she's awesome so I promise it's good!

Diane-I can't find your email address to save my life. Your mom wants you to give her this info. Also, if you email me (RhondaLue30@yahoo.com) I'll send it so you can print it easier. This is CHEAP-you should get in on it but offer expires noon tomomrrow (wed):

We are offering non-fat powdered milk for food storage at $42.00 per 50# bag plus $.76 Tempe sales tax for a total of $42.76. Tempe's sales tax is 1.5% This milk is locally produced and the manufacturing date is stamped on the package. The milk is top quality and good tasting. The consistence is powder, not granules. The manufacturer guarantees a shelf life of two years if left in the bag. If you seal it in #10 cans, the shelf life is extended to 20 years according to LDS dry-pack publication. For those of you who plan to can the milk, each can and lid combo costs $.92. You may buy them at the LDS dry-pack or from me at the same price.

The deadline for this group order is April 15. Individual orders may be paid for and picked up at 204 South Olive, Mesa, AZ. Group orders of 5 bags or more will be delivered. All payments still need to be delivered to 204 South Olive, Mesa, AZ. Call 480-297-2255 (Sylvia Teeter) to arrange for payment.

We have arranged the use two of the LDS Dry-pack mobile canners on or about April 24, 2009, and for group orders, we are willing to set the machines up at the location of your choice. We will even bring several large tables. The goal is to get everyone prepared for what is coming and we are willing to help you in any way we can. Incidentally to show you how good this price is, 50# at the LDS dry-pack will cost you $73.90 that is a savings of $28.54 for 50#

Using our can vibrator we are able to compact 5# in each can, so you will need 10 cans and lids for every 50# bag. Food specialists recommend that you do not put anti-oxygen packets in powdered milk like you normally put into grains or dried vegetables or fruit. The packets may condense moisture out of the air and could cause milk spoilage around the packet.

To validate your order for April 15th we need to receive your pre-payment. Contact Sylvia Teeter 480-297-2255 to make arrangements for the payment. No personal checks please, cash, money order, or cashiers check only. If cash you must pay in person and receive a receipt. The total price for 50# is $42.76.

We received a phone call from one of our customers inquiring about the nutritional content of this product. I called our supplier who stated that it is a non-fat milk powder, not whole milk. For those of you who would like powdered whole milk (HIGH CHOLESTEROL), I am looking for a supplier for you, but be forewarned, it will cost a lot more.

The address to prepay and to pick up the milk is:
204 South Olive, Mesa, AZ
It is one block east of the Temple, on the south west corner of Olive and 2nd Ave. Someone will be here all day today, Tuesday and also tomorrow morning.
Use this phone # for product inquiries 480-326-1014 (Kirk Shafter)
Use this phone # for pre-payment arrangement 480-297-2255 (Sylvia Teeter)
Remember the pre-payment deadline is April 15th for this order.

k so you totally need to publish your email address on your ABOUT ME link or something. that way I don't have to keep leaving messages on your blog comments.

So yah, I'm afraid tomorrows Frugal Friday will disapoint but I swear I'll have some good tips for next week. I'm being lazy (and super busy) so I don't have a REAL frugal post but I worked the WORDS frugal into the post so it counts. shuttup, it does!

I am taking a friend to the dr in the morning but hopefully I'll be over soon to do it! (canning, that is)
