His favorite cooking activities are cutting veggies and shaking spices. He is such a big helper!

Yesterday we were cooking Jambalaya. As I was cutting onions and he was chopping a bell pepper with his butter knife, I watched him put the knife down and reach for a jar that looked like it was full of gold wrapped candy!!! Yummmmmmy!

He got excited as he unwrapped the golden cube and popped it into his mouth… I have NEVER seen such a confused little face! His expression was one of suprise, terror and disappointment as he realized that this was NOT a golden candy cube… it was chicken bouillon!!!

Teeheehee!Fun times!

The Js have settled-in in Bay St. Louis, just a few blocks from the beach. Doesn’t that sound like fun? Young, newlywed and living on the coast. Yum.

We celebrated Halloween with the whole gang at home.   It was great fun! The Js drove up from the coast and New Mom and her little fam came, too. So everyone was under one roof for a little fellowship, good food and fun.

We had a campfire for roasting wieners and marshmallows as our traditional Halloween celebration. A little frisbee and yackleball. Some old-school Nintendo, but the big hit was the five-way game of  Halo. Yes, the video game freaks had a blast.
