A Championship and Goodies!!!

Back to Saturday...we went to the Alabama Basketball game at noon, then came home to watch the SEC Championship game with our dear friends, the Roe's. We ate alot, laughed alot, played alot and cheered alot!!!!!
Dirty faces always mean something good, right?

I made this DELICIOUS concoction - it's just like Rice Krispy Treats, but you use Fruity Pebbles!!!! THEN - you use the most wonderful invention EVER -
This stuff had Ashley and I looking all over my kitchen for something else to dip - I even considered some old carrot sticks in the fridge - maybe THAT would get my children to eat them!!! It's SO Easy and SO yummy!!!!

Sorry, Ashley, I know you'll hate me for this picture - but it gets my point across - that stuff was SO good!




We had some sweet helpers, who were more than willing to taste test!!!!



















The game wasn't too bad either!!!!




A big mess was made - which also means FUN was had!!!!



Then to add to the mess, the elves had a little fun of their own!!!!


























Tonight we read The Legend of the Candy Cane by Lori Walburg - a wonderful book, I highly recommend it for young (and old) children - tells both the Christmas and Easter story in a fun way!!!! We read this AFTER we hosted Will's work Christmas party at our house - it was lots of fun and Emma Claire and I scored a $10 Chick-fil-A gift card - both hers and my favorite (is that how you say that?)!!!!
The best part was when I was sitting on the couch chatting with some other women and I saw Henderson walking down the hall holding a LIT red candle!!!! I QUICKLY leaped up and rescued it from him and noticed nice red wax running down his chest and shirt collar!!!! He didn't seem to mind, so I don't guess it burned him, but OH MY!!!!
Right now I'm in bed and listening to the wind HOWL and the rain pour outside our window - the temperature is a Balmy 70 degrees and I'm wondering when the tornado sirens will begin going off????? My prayer tonight is for safety for ALL in the line of these storms.
