Where did the week go

It seems that lately the time is getting away from me. there are so many things that we do during the day that it goes by so quickly. Jared has been in school for over two weeks now and Nathan is really loving his school as well. I truly think Nathan is totally ready to get away from me for a little bit during the week. He waves goodbye at the door without even looking back, but at least he is happy to see me at pick up time.

I've been keeping busy trying to go through the kitchen one cabinet at a time and clean it out, not only getting rid of expired food, but also of crumbs. We are being driven nuts by these tiny little bugs who are getting in somehow. I'm sure some hefty caulking around the outlets and windows would help, but I wanted to start with the other obvious, food. I was inspired by finding apple pie filling that wasn't expired that I decided to whip up an Apple Pie cake. It is almost done baking and the taste tester has been waiting very impatiently for it to finish cooking. I know it was from www.cooks.com, but I didn't save the link, I'm so sorry. I wrote down the recipe though, so if anyone wants it, let me know.

While looking through iPhoto trying to figure out what I was going to blog about, I came across these photos. Nick's dad and brothher came over last week Monday for an impromptu BBQ and this was the fun that ensued after dinner was done. No one seems to understand the need to wind down before bedtime. They had a blast though.
