Deep Fried Turkey

Once upon a time there was a girl from the city.  This girl met a man from the country.  This man deep fried turkeys for Thanksgiving, while this girl frowned on this idea...oven roasting a turkey is the only way...WELL LET ME SHUT UP!!!  My hubby has been deep frying turkeys for four years and this year, my folks, his folks, Aydin, and Anthoney all enjoyed.  Poor Alec and Austin missed it this year, for it was their Mother's turn for T-Day this year.  Deep fried turkey is the ONLY way to go.  Having growing boys, its how fast can mom get food on the table.  I would have to say dear hubby and I have dinner hot and on the table in 90 min or less!!!  :)  I would have to say it was a successful T-Day  :)

While I missed my other boys while they were at their mom's I did enjoy some bit of peace and quiet.  You know the oldest with his cell phone permanently attached to his ear with his girl friend on the other line, keeps him out of my hair.  The little ones are just that little.  I enjoy the 3 hours a day of nap and quiet to catch up on my Grey's Anatomy.  Well its off to bed for this mom.  All my babies are bathed, asleep, or on their way!!

Good Night and Happy Thanksgiving!!

PROTEST

Ok so I know everyone will go through this at least once.  The I PROTEST.  No more cooking, no more cleaning, no more car pools right?  Usually this happens at the age of well...Mom.  Until last night.  My 13 year old went out (on hmmm well I guess you could call it a date) last night.  He asked his dad to pick him up at 930 from the High School.  After waiting for an hour, and his cell phone going straight to voice mail...here he comes walking across the parking lot.  Now as parents we ALWAYS try to teach our children a lesson.  So when he got home he had a bucket up water and pine sol waiting for him with a toothbrush.  Yes a toothbrush.  All he had to do was clean the laundry room floor with a toothbrush.  After about 30 min of just sitting there and decided he was going to Protest...yes protest.  Are you serious?  Are you kidding me?  Honestly I was laughing hysterically in the other room.  He grew some ...

Spring Time

Ok so where do I start?  Ahhhh yes, Spring Break.  My kids were on spring break so of course we took them on vacation.  Williamsburg, VA.  Busch Gardens was great.  Austin rode a tone of coasters.  Aydin went on his first log flume, and Alec started a "map in hand while going down roller coasters" tradition.  The boys had a blast.  Ashton is now cutting his top teeth which must be another tradition, because he cut his bottom two in Williamsburg in January.  My parents joined us for Easter and a couple of days in Colonial Williamsburg.  A day shopping at the outlets topped off the trip before we head home to good ole North Carolina.  All the boys were there except the oldest who has turned 18 and feels he has earned some right of passage to adulthood, blocked me on facebook because "its all my fault," and who has forgotten all about his family.  Sad...yes, tired of his games...more than you know.  This I could say is where ...
