Sometimes you're the Bug....

And sometimes you're the Cat in the Pool.........

That's a face that says "SOMEONE'S GONNA GET IT WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE!"

Hope you're having a better day than he is!!!

FINALLY!

How about Them LIONS?!

It's not a BASH.....

Unless you look like White Trash!

So, these are the photos from Susan & Kris' White Trash Birthday Bash we thought we'd share to provide a good chuckle for you.  Too bad we didn't get a better picture of Susan's 'birthday cake' that was comprised of Twinkies, Ho Ho's, Ding Dongs & Cup Cakes.  It was a bit difficult in a fat suit to get around to the front of where Susan was blowing out her 30 candles.  And yep, that's a beer can wind chime in the top of the birthday cake photo!  So, in true White Trash Fashion -

Love the photo (and the Budweiser sign in the background).

Hope you had a terrific weekend - I know we did - Michigan won and are now 3-0 on the season!!  WOO HOO!  Go Blue!

Happy #30 Sue!

Your 30's are AWESOME!!

WOO HOO - GO BLUE!!!

Can I tell you just how HAPPY we are that Michigan beat Notre Dame!

Way to go Michigan!!

GO BLUE!!!

And I think it was these two that rooted them on to the 38-34 V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!   
It had to be the hair!! :o)

We just realized looking at the photo that Colin hit the nail on the head with his hand gestures - Michigan was the Winner - Notre Dame - LOSERS! 

Better luck next year!

Way to go Boys!!

Thanks so Amy, Andy, Sue, Kris and our favorite little nephew for a great football watching/horn honking/hootin' and hollerin'/scrapbookin' kind of day!

Go Blue!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

 

Wishing my mom a super happy birthday today!!

Can you say ORGANIZATION?!

Ever get into one of those modes and you just can't stop?! Last week with all the rain, we both got on this organization kick. Originally it started with 2 new shelves and a peg board in the garage which then overflowed into organizing the storage space in the basement under the steps which lead into organizing the closet in the basement.

HOLY MOLEY! But what a great dent we've made.

We both laughed about the high-tech label maker we picked up, but just about everything now has a label! You know what's in EVERY box without even having to pick up the lid!! Talk about organized!

The Garage is just about done, so hopefully we'll have those photos to post soon. :)

We've decided once the fall arrives we'll be doing some attic organization. I can hardly wait.  Good thing Target has rubber bins on sale again this week.  :o)

What is it about getting organized that makes you feel like you can take on the world?

Oh and I have to share before I forget - on Monday we tried our hand at broiled tomatoes with mozzarella cheese - can you say yummo!

We did the shake & sprinkle method, so no measurements here.

Two medium tomatoes, sliced in 1/2" slices

Mozzarella Cheese

Balsamic Vinegar

Fresh basil

Pinch of Salt

Garlic Powder

Crispy Bacon crumbled

Cut tomatoes into 1/2" slices. Lay on greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with Salt & Garlic Powder. Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar. Top with Mozzarella Cheese, fresh shredded basil and crispy bacon. Put about 3" from broiler. Broil until cheese is bubbly, melty and a bit crispy. You won't even get them off the baking sheet before you're diving in.

Needless to say, we'll be having more of these!!
This weekend, we also spent sometime with my mom and dad - kicking off the College football season!  My dad and Glen took in the Michigan State as well as the Michigan game, Marching Michigan Guy and the Ufer Horn.  It's a spittin' image of the Ufer horn!

 While the boys watched football, my mom and I made a run to the yarn shop - can't NOT use a 20% off birthday coupon and then we came back and in four hours made roughly 70 jars of jam.  This is just a little yummy visual for you!  Peach, Peach Raspberry and Strawberry.  Yep, YUM!! 

We hope that you had a terrific holiday weekend - it was a nice way to end summer (even though it seems like we hardly had one....here's hoping for an Indian Summer!)
