Guess what happened this morning? Austin fixed french toast for breakfast. REAL french toast. Using french bread , eggs, milk cinnamon, and everything! Thank-you Boy Scouts!! It was DELICIOUS! And I didn't lift a finger. And aside from the stereotypical little brother saying , "something just doesn't smell right" before he gobbled it down................EVERYONE loved it!

After Savannah's dance class tonight, we swung by Lowes for another bucket o' paint. I'm still painting, but I think that I can see the finish line: A ceiling and a stairway to go! (and then there's all that TRIM, but I won't think about that now...)
Speaking of dance class.....I watched Savanna's class tonight. She is growing up so fast. She just looked so pretty and tall, with her hair all pulled pack in a pony tail. (sniff, sniff) Where does the time go?

I will leave you with a riddle that Austin was given by an assistant Scout master on the camping trip. We are totally stumped, so please feel free to give it your best shot.

What we catch, we throw away,
What we cannot catch, we keep.
What is it?


Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
One more coat of paint, and then I'm off to bed,
G'night,
Melissa

I was thinking rodents/pests...as in if they get into our home.

Oooh, I would love for someone to make me some french toast. Nice job, Austin! At least I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow.

yes, yes. this was the answe that Austin came up with: mice. i wonder if that's it. Scouts is on Wednesday, however the Assist. Scotmaster said that if anyone was losing sleep over it, that they could give him a call. I wonder what time they go to bed?

*grin* How nice! And he even used French bread - that's pretty gourmet! We usually use semi-stale bread... I wanna eat at your house.

No clue on the riddle. I'm really bad at riddles.

OK I'm a loser. I looked up the answer online. I can't pretend I'm smart. If you want me to "out" it let me know...LOL

You just gave me new motive to find a good Boy Scout troop in the area...LOL I'm starting to get the feeling I'm going to have to lead one pretty soon.
