Cheezits, Turkey and Chinese

My friend, Kareena Mullens has a link to quizilla where you too, can find out what font you are and personality. So I went and did and I am "arial" font, which is pretty normal. So, according to quizilla creators, I am pretty normal. Whew :).

Tonight I went upstairs with Avery and Zachery was supposed to be right behind me to go to bed. I got done with Avery and Zach was calling for me by his bed. After prayers, I looked on his nightstand and there were 3 Cheezits, all lined up. :) What? When did that happen? Apparently he hurried and grabbed, just 3, and came to his room, awaiting his bedtime snack, which we don't do. Anyhoo, he was really nice and said, "Hey mom, do you want a cracker?". :) Speedy gonzales.

I did it! Today, I cooked my first turkey. We had to be out this afternoon for appointments and there was a thawing turkey in our fridge (someone gave us one and we had no room in our freezer). I pulled it out, grabbed a cookbook and prepared our little turkey (no stuffing, no like). We got a new oven and I programmed it to turn on while I was gone and set it to cook, then turn off on it's own. cool beans. I did wonder if I'd come home to a burned down kitchen, but, success. I'm pretty impressed that it actually turned out, and that I programmed the oven too. I know it's no vcr, but it worked. The last time I tried using a new appliance, of any sort, I broked our pressure cooker, so I always seem to second guess myself there.

Blah, blah, blah. Today is not the day for pictures of the kids' rooms, maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow Avery is getting her eyes checked (they twitch around sometimes) .

Today is my lovely sister-in-law's birthday! Happy Birthday Jocelyn! Please to check out their cute family at Steve and Jocelyn Christensen.

I will leave with this last joke, curtesy of Schuyler Fitzwater:
Which would you rather be? Rich or Chinese?
Answer: Chinese, of course. Then you would likely be both. :)

Schuyler is my good friend, Aryn's youngest brother, and he told this to us when he was 10. Thanks Sky!

I so enjoy reading your blog, Renae! I love it when you post. Schuyler and I have been talking lately about Gary and the Christensens and how we miss you all. I'll make sure and pass this one on. :)

Can't wait to see the pictures of the kids' rooms.

I love the Cheezits - what a kid. It's so fun when you see them starting to develop into little people -- and he sure is, isn't he? Cutie!

And yay for you on the turkey and programming the stove - you're awesome!! We are now in DVR-ville but I can tell you that it took me years to learn how to figure out programming the VCR.

It's awesome to cook a turkey, huh? And it will last for a long time, you are such the homemaker! How fun to have a memory of Schuyler on your blog, I still picture those little guys in Sunbeams, Gary, Schuyler, Tyler- I can see a little Griggs too, I think- They were so cute.
I had a dream about you last night, Robert and I were on a walk and we ran into you and Avery and Robert was so taken by Avery that he had to hold her and cuddle her and tell her how beautiful she was. I guess I dreamt about you because I had told Robert that you know my Favorite Author and then I showed him your blog and your cutie patootie kids. It was a wonderful dream, I was kind of sad when I woke up and knew I'd only "see" you on the computer.
