.PROjects

Hey guys, I thought I'd put up a post with some of my silly little projects from the last few months!!
1. This macaroni casserole is representing the massive storm of cooking that Air and me have been brewing up in our awesome kitchen! I can't believe it - but I've actually been learning to cook! And I kinda like it! :) Air is really good, and he's been teaching me everything he knows. It's great!!

(in case my fam is wondering - Yes, this is Heb's recipe!)

2. Our huge mantle was looking pretty naked... so I put together this grassy decor to go up there. I'm not sure if anyone likes it but me...

but I like it......... A LOT

3. The next project was actually an Enrichment activity. I know that EVERYONE has one of these vinyl lettering ma-jigs in their home...... but...... now I have one too? haha

(I put this quote because it's my fav primary song to play)

4. And here is the biggest project from the last few weeks! Since I'm on the enrichment committee I was in charge of decorations and games for our big RS Birthday enrichment last week. Our theme was Celebrate your "purse"onality... and.... it was AWESOME!! I made these purses out of paper for the centerpieces. Then we gave them out with prizes inside for the games.

While I was sewing these (oh yeah, I sew paper now), I had a lot of fun because I was watching one of my favorite BBC movies: North and South.... like Pride and Prejudice it's a 4-part series, and to me, still doesn't ever seem long enough!! haha
(by the way, if you are also a fan of this type of movie I have some other suggestions for you to see!)

We had a really good night! Alana planned a really yummy meal and Kari's talk and all the ladies who gave their own stories were really sweet. The purse scavenger hunt was hilarious!! I can't believe the things that ladies have in their purses sometimes... baha!

.Speaking of creepy

We pretty much spent the day shopping at Ikea yesterday... It was fun... Until we were looking at trash cans and found THIS!!!!!
Oh, the terrible world we live in where people will simply leave their babies in trash cans to beg for food!!!

Ok...... well...... Air actually helped the baby write the sign...... and get into the can.... but it was still an incredible, horrible thing to see once it was finished. Whoever walks past that trash can at Ikea next will be pretty horrified at least. I imagine it will be pretty eye opening for that individual... whomever they may be... surely they will gain a new understanding of the cruelty of our society. You know, maybe this will lead that individual toward working to make a difference in the World. Gosh, this is sure making me feel better about myself for doing that. I am making a difference.

.future baby...... ?

I know, it's kinda creepy right? I don't really see a resemblance either... Oh well, just as I've always strongly believed:
Computers are ALWAYS right.

.happy birthday myself

My Birthday was on Thursday last week and it was really great! I know some of you (Mom) are wondering what we did and what I got! So here's the play-by-play:

First thing in the morning I baked myself peach cobbler/cake while Air was at school - it was DELICIOSO!! It's probably the third time in the last month that I've made one, but it's one of my favorite things to make. I really recommend peach cobbler with wheat flour... Mmmm.....

We couldn't wait to eat it... so apparently we didn't!

As soon as Air got home we went out to **Mikado** for a sushi lunch! His fav and my fav..... so double FAV! Everybody wins! :)

I don't know why I make these faces?? There's no control there... haha

After lunch, we went to West Edmonton Mall (the World's largest mall) and had lots of fun! As-per-usual we got our other fav while we were there, BUBBLE TEA!!!If you don't know what bubble tea is, its a Taiwanese milkshake with tapioca at the bottom. YUMM

While we were shopping, Air was buying a phone at a kiosk while I went around to some stores. I had no idea when it happened but I suddenly realized that the bag I was carrying around (pictured above) was no longer in my hand!! WHAT THE!!??
Air didn't know why I was so freaked out about losing that bag because I didn't want to mention to him that it wasn't just the shirt I bought, but the CAMERA was in the bag!!
I started retracing my steps and when I walked into the bathroom I about died when I looked at the counter..... and didn't see it where I remembered putting it!! Then I went to the next store and they had it behind the counter!!! YAY! :) They found it in the dressing room... sometimes I am so retarded!

Another super cheesy pose, and I'm wearing my new hoodie (Mom, this is a gift I got with the bday money from you - THANKS! It's perfect!)
