Spaghetti-Os and Apple Pie

Yucky combination, right? Kaitlin and Kaleb worked 11-8 today, so their lunch was at 3. She fixed spaghetti-o's. PHEW-EEE! I can't stand them, but Leeker's had them on sale, and Kaitlin begged me to buy some. She loves those things. For a girl who likes "real" food, it surprises me!

Corby made this awesome apple pie today.
When we ran to Sam's this morning, he saw the Granny Smith apples, and made the spur-of-the-moment decision to make a pie. Now all of you out there reading this blog, and I know there are two or three of you, Corby does not cook and bake like this all the time. He goes through spurts where sweets sound good to him, and that's when he bakes. Most of the time he doesn't eat many sweets (that's my job). It's a good thing he doesn't bake like this all the time. I'd weigh even more than the considerable poundage I already carry around!

And I had to take a picture of Frisbee-head Corby.
We were cleaning out the hall closet this afternoon and found a couple of frisbees. Makes a cute hat, doesn't it?

My current book: Killer Smile by Lisa Scottoline. I read my first Scottoline book last week, and promptly checked out two more from the library. So far, I am enjoying her writing.

And the quote for Sunday 1/6/08 is: "When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." -- Helen Keller

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
