Interesting fact for the day. Did anyone know that the second ingredient (behind corn syrup as the first) in Twizzlers is wheat flour? Well, I do now.

Jesse came in from school yesterday and went to bed and didn't wake till this morning. He's starving.
Made oatmeal, sausage and eggs. They can make their own toast.
I'm hungry, too. I'll wait til I get back from taking them to school.
Caitlyn and Aaron like the twizzlers. Jesse and I do not.
However, gummys and sour patch kids do not last long.
Hope everyone has a remarkable day, the good kind.

I'm so glad we don't live in Wylie anymore. We are just 10 miles away and only got strawberry sized hail from this storm. Our friend posted pictures of damage this morning. They lost all the glass on both their cars and there are freaking holes in one of the cars.
That's crazy. Looks like something from one of those disaster movies.

Wow. That's crazy. I hope no one got beaned in the head. Guess the roofing and window companies are about to get an unexpected boost. Insurance companies are not going to be happy.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Unbelievable. The siding looked like Hardie board. It's concrete siding, supposed to be stronger to withstand hail damage.
We had golf ball sized hail a few years ago. No broken glass, but everyone in our 'hood got new siding and roofs. Insurance companies were not happy. DH's Audi was parked under cover at the office, but did get some dings from hail bouncing off other cars that weren't covered and on to his car. The boys were a year or so old and sitting in their high chairs having dinner. I was worried about the garden window in the kitchen, but trying to remain calm so the boys wouldn't be frightened.
I remember the massive storm in October 2010 here. One of the few times I've seen hail. Shattered my driver's side mirror. Busted my windshield. Dinged up my truck pretty good. I was at work that day. Power outage at the school I was working at, trees down, and one of the kids got beaned in the head by a hail ball. Ever had a classroom of 3rd graders clinging to you? That same storm flooded a lot of Phoenix. A lot of the roads were impassable by cars around my work area. Thankfully, I drive a truck and was able to get home. I passed many cars just floating on top of the water.
We had a hail storm once when I was working on the toll road. Had a smart ass patron ask if getting hit by the hail hurt. I cheerfully replied nope! You should've seen the sass drop off his face. I had a lot of concerned patrons that day asking if we're safe considering the toll booths were mostly glass. We were. That glass was thick.

Gotta make my cheddar biscuits for my Bible study group's potluck. I saw a recipe for strawberry cinnamon rolls that I thought I'd try my hand at. I didn't like the idea of using pie filling though so I'm going to try fresh strawberries and see how that turns out.
DS has all but took over preparing spaghetti. Once he's tall enough and strong enough to fill the pot with water, he'll probably take over completely. He dumped the noodles in the pot and seasoned the sauce. He's also designated himself the salad preparer. He's getting good at controlling the amount of dressing he puts on the salad.
Maintenance is supposed to be coming today to fix/replace the dishwasher and fix the dryer. I'm hoping he will just replace the dryer. It works for awhile then stops drying again. But that would mean replacing the whole unit because it's the stacking kind.

Sounds like he is the next Bobby flay
Maybe!
He's very domestic. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a home-oriented career or being a SAHD. But, he also loves being outside and playing with cars. So, we'll see!
She's coming to our house for dinner tonight. Yeehaw!
Gotta run, Good Geeks! She should be here within the hour.
(I don't get family from Ohio visiting very often, so I'm doing the happy dance.)
That's great! Enjoy the visit.

Did you see JCPenney's response to the skirt issue? "We think this is a skirt to be worn any time of the month. Period."
Hahhahahahahahahahahaha!!! Love it.
Okay, now THAT is funny!
flan
There is a skirt issue? Must not be a white skirt!
I posted a picture of the skirt in the increase your post count thread. It's a white skirt with uh er well, you'll have to look.

You're lucky he's made new friends to keep him company
