I should never be surprised anymore when I see my kids doing something “the boy way.” Just last week, Matt sent one of our boys to scrub something off the side of our van. Here’s what I came across when I saw him doing the job:
Why go to the trouble of walking all the way upstairs to get the real spray bottle when you can just use a water gun, right? Of course, this means it’s very easy to squirt unsuspecting brothers who happen to be walking by…
In other news, we had a wonderful houseful of company all weekend! We ate like kings and queens, visited like there’s no tomorrow, and while the guys golfed, the girls shopped. I love my boys so much, but when I have a chance to shop with females? Well, it is lovely.
Heya, have you tried this Cheesy Cauliflower Cakes recipe yet? If not, you really must. They taste like hashbrowns, only better. The pickiest of my kids love them. They are a fantastic way to eat cauliflower. (Actually, if you ask me, they are the only way to eat cauliflower.)

Your weekly menu brought back memories from my childhood! On most fall days after church, my Mom would make us grilled cheese and soup. :)
Thank you for the link for the sweet pepper frittata! That looks wonderful and will work well with things we have on hand. My daughter is pet sitting for a family with dogs, cats, and chickens, and we should have about 16-20 eggs total from that. Also, I just picked about 14 peppers from the garden–a mix of sweet and bell peppers. I’m going to add this to our meals for the week. I’d love the try the cauliflower recipe, but I’m going to wait for good prices on cauliflower. Haven’t seen them here yet.
We had overnight guests this weekend too and just finished the delicious leftovers from Friday night’s dinner! I think our 2 year old grandson could eat his weight in roasted broccoli!
