Camping

We took the kids camping this weekend. We went to Timberland Lake Campground, in Jackson NJ. It's a 2 minute drive from Six Flags Great Adventure, a theme park we have season passes to! It's only 20-25 minutes from home too, so it's nice! We slept in a tent, cooked on a tiny charcoal grill, and the open fire! We played mini golf, took a lil hike, a hayride, we went out on a row boat! The kids had a blast, and so did Norman and I! It was a nice weekend for all.. infact 2 weeks from now we plan to go back. We have actually reserved a lot for 3 consecutive weeks!

Meatloaf In Peppers

Well, since i am out of work, we no longer order out for dinner.... So tonights dinner(wich smells wonderfull by the way) is meatloaf in pepper rings. I got the idea from The Food Network, where lese?!?!

This is how I did it.... Made my favorite meatloaf recipe... thick cliced some peppers, red, yellow & green. about 3 slices per pepper. Put the peppers on a cookie sheet, stuffed the meatloaf into them. Put on my hubby's favorite meatloaf topping(KETCHUP, MUSTARD& A LIL BROWN SUGAR) 350 degrees for 35 mins..... they smell yummy!

I am also serving 3 cheese potatoes from Betty Crocker & mashed sweet potatoes, along with cranberry sauce. I am trying to use up all my boxed mix stuff! I want to get to the point where we re eating everything made from scratch!

Family Fun Day @ The Orchard

It's October again.... Halloween time is approaching!! I lvoe Halloween, I love Haunted things, I love being scarred!



This afternoon we went to an Orchard..... It was Family Fun Day for his school. for $5 each we gto to go on a hayride through the woods, and walk through a corn maze.... there were things to find in the maze, and for finding it, the kids got a piece of candy, and on the hayride they got an apple!

Our Weekend

Saturday we went to a Wedding for one of the guys he works with! It was kind of hot, but it was beautiful! The Church was small but gorgeous. The reception was at an old Farm in a big Tent.... there was a creek that ran through the property, and trees, I'm sure they got GORGEOUS pictures there! Well I had a bit too much to drink, but it was FUN!

Sunday we went to Septemberfest, it's held at a community park, and there are food vendors, a rib cook off, companies given away freebies, craft vendors, schools selling drinks and snack for different clubs, some community organizations tryin to get the word out about what they do. The police have a big tent set up where they do the Kid IDs, they weigh and measure the kids and take a picture and put it all in a handy notebook, for you to keep incase the kids are lost or taken. They also finger print the kids, but we already have those.
Well toward the end of the day we were getting water from one of the tables... Carlie was right at my side, i bent down grabbed the water from a cooler, when i stood up, and turned around, she was GONE! we looked up and down the path and couldn't spot her. So there was a police officer right there, we stopped him and he radioed her description through the park, well since we happened to be near the Kid ID tent, Jr ran over and got his cop Buddy Officer Tom, well he starts looking, cuz he knows the kids.... mean while Norm has me stay put with Matt... I am HYSTERICALLY Crying.... and looking frantically for her lil blonde head to come running, as i turned to look again i see an officer handing her to her dad, she was cryin just as hard as i was.... It was a rough afternoon. So PLEASE don't let em out of your sight, not even for 2 seconds, that's all it took! That was the longest 5 minutes of my life.... I am now off to buy kiddie leash type things my friend Amy showed me....

I can remember before cell phones, using a calling card from a pay phone, What a rip off, it would be a $10 card, and i thought I'd have plenty of time. Especially since i was making local calls, well I'd only get to talk for a few minutes, because there were those pesky hidden fees, a connection fee, what's that all about. Now had i been trying to call internationally I'd have been lucky to et a 2 minute conversation in, but luckily with Pingo, there are no hidden fees what you pay for is what you get. best part is for signing up you are going to get 5 free hours to talk to those you miss!
