State of My Kitchen

This is just a glimpse of what happens to my kitchen when I decide to make cinnamon rolls.  In this case, I had four cups of milk about to expire and I didn't have any cinnamon rolls in the freezer, so I made cinnamon rolls.  You will notice I have to use plastic cutting boards to roll out the dough - I have tile counters...not good for rolling dough.  Unfortunately, for the first time ever, I killed the yeast - too much heat..so the rolls are slightly dense but still really good (we had some for lunch yesterday!).

Uncle Andrew Said...

Word on the street is that John likes to tell tales especially when he is getting into trouble...this is the way it goes down...

Responsible Adult: "John, are you supposed to be (digging up my flowers, throwing sand, picking your nose, kicking Tico, etc)?"

John: "Well, Untle Undew (aka Uncle Andrew) said I could." 

HAHA - You have to love the fact that Andrew is John's favorite person right now and loves to use him has his "permission" to do anything!  Andrew's response...I need to spend more time with that kid!

First Day of School

In light of the picture from yesterday, I figured you needed something a little more appealing today. 

A certain someone started pre-school today!  I am still not sure why Baby needs to go to school, but I am told that Baby had to learn too!  But seriously - this kid is going to kill me with his preciousness!

UPDATE: IT WAS TAKE YOUR BABY TO SCHOOL DAY.  ALSO, HE TOLD ME VERY QUICKLY THAT HE LOVED SCHOOL AND WAS READY TO GO BACK!!  OH AND I FAILED TO MENTION IS HE THE ONLY BOY IN A CLASS OF 5 GIRLS...THIS COULD BE INTERESTING.

Teeth

No not mine this time - Tucker's.  Our dog has the "most messed up grill" ever. 

His two bottom front teeth are tiny, as in barely above the jaw line, the rest are just spaced all wrong.

I feel the need to tell you that Andrew's fingers are not in Tucker's eye as it might appear and that we take great pride in keeping his nose super clean...

Just a few pictures from our 12" of rain thanks to TS Lee.

Pearl River at Spillway.

Yes I was driving and taking pictures...No, no vehicle or person was hurt as a result.

Uniforms

Excuse me for just a moment...I try to avoid saying anything about UGA because well they are our #1 rival and yes I went to grad school there, but really my heart is with Tech.  Anyway - while not a UGA fan, I do love the tradition of the silver britches, and history tells us that when UGA wears something other than the traditional silver britches, they get their britches handed to them on a silver platter.  So when I saw the "special" uniforms for the Boise State game last night, I couldn't help but laugh at how terrible they looked and how they just sealed the deal to get beat.  Sure enough that is what happened...they got beat.  While looking like red Power Rangers...but I guess the super powers were not with the team last night.  And now I direct your attention to the coaches' shoes.  Uh, Dear UGA, please don't wear the Power Ranger outfits again and please tell the coaches that red shoes only look good on women.  Thanks, This Embarrassed for You Tech Fan.

It's Up With the White and Gold...

Yes sir, bet you bottom dollar it is FOOTBALL SEASON!  Here is the scene of the crime last night...

See the Tech player (in white) about to demonstrate how to wrap-up when tackling, well he is from Westside High School in Macon.  A certain someone's HS as well.  Coach Davis has said that Julian Burrentt (#40) is by far the best kid he has ever coached...better than any of the guys that went on to the NFL.  Bottom line - we support this kid like it is nobody's business because he is going places.  He is super smart, a very hard worker, and he plays "lights out" no matter what.  GO JULIAN and GO JACKETS!
