Father's Day

Well, today...started out kindof funny and ended somewhat predictable! We were having a breakfast for the Fathers, Sons, and Young Men this morning at church. I was assigned to bring a casserole! I absolutely hate cooking, but the recipe seemed pretty easy! I started mixing the ingredients last night, because it is supposed to sit overnight in the fridge... Well, once I did that, I thought, "Wow! That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be..."

Then, this morning when I woke up to put the casserole in the oven, I reread the directions. Ha! No wonder it was so easy and required little effort-- I missed 3 important little words "cooked and drained"---the sausage! Whoops!

What to do? I asked Ben to go get more sausage and my plan was to cook that and drain and just mix in with some eggs and cheese. I went ahead and cooked the casserole. It appeared the sausage was cooked, so I went ahead and took it. I wasn't able to take the plain sausage and eggs, because our great dane, Ellie, snuck in the kitchen and without making a peep, ate them up!

Luckily, at the breakfast, my casserole was placed in the back and only one serving was gone! I tried to warn the person who took it...I called out their name, but they didn't hear me, so I didn't pursue them...I tried, right?

Well, when Ben came back from the store, we gave him his presents... He got a plastic guitar that is representative of the electric guitar on order, a picture frame edged with rocks (Rocks were given to me for Mother's Day!), mints wrapped in gold, blue, and red representing the 3 colors of the Colombian flag, a metal sign/plaque that says "Rejoice in the Lord", and a digital keychain that has pics of the family downloaded on it!

Church service went well, and then we came home and ate and all had our Sunday nap! I tried to do some scrapbooking, but the couch looked really comfortable, and I ended up taking a snooze! Later, tonight, Ben went to visit his family. Me and the kids stayed behind to pick up the house, do baths, eat supper, and I tried to teach them how to play Connect Four!

Well, now off to do more house cleaning! Our SW is coming tomorrow b/w 530-6pm for our final post placement report, and I'm on call tonight from 11p-7a (hope I don't get any calls!) so, need to go tidy a wee bit more! Hope everyone out there had a fabulous day today!
