Yesterday was good. We cleaned for a while, then I made corn pudding for the family (after a minor catastrophe, which I WILL NOT discuss!).
We arrived at Chris' aunt Mary's house for a late dinner! We love going there because his whole family can cook like nobodies business!
We had a good time-we played the game "spoons" with cards, sat and chatted and ate til our hearts content!
We came home and looked over all the sale ads and I got quite giddy-they had a couple really good deals on some things the kids asked for. So I thought, I'll get up early before the kids rise and go shopping-well-that didn't happen. Hubby's paycheck didn't go in-we figured it might considering that Monday is the first-that didn't happen. So was I completely bummed when I had dressed and gotten up so early to find I couldn't even go!! Oh well...I'll just have to believe that next week they will have just as good of deals. But I have to say I am completely disappointed!!! :(
Thanks to my friend, Carmen's blog for giving me props for the Sweet Potato casserole that she fixed yesterday! That brightened up my non shopping day!!!
Now I am stuck with the kids arguing over what particular show to watch....while I must admit I'd rather be shopping at ToysRUs, Target and other just as wonderful stores....oh...well....(here is where i am trying to hold back the tears of not being able to shop)!
I pray you guys had a great day yesterday and please try not to rub it in too much about being able to shop today-I don't think I'd be able to handle it!!!
Here is the recipe Carmen used:
Sweet Potato Casserole
#1
1 Large Can Bruce's Yams
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup milk
#2
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
Additional 1/3 cup butter
1 cup chopped pecans (or other nut)
Mix #1 ingredients together completely, then mix in #2 ingredients as well.

*optional-add marshmallows on top during last 5 minutes of cooking.
Best if cooked in a round bowl or pan.

1. Love your new backdrop.
2. In Jesus name they will have everything the kids want at an even cheaper price.
3. Glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving.
4. Now we've started a new tradition with that recipe of yours!
Love ya!
bad times Robin! Honestly you didn't miss too much. Who wants the stress of fighting through crowds anyway?!? I saw a bunch of old ladies about to throw down over some $30 comforters at Wal-mart. People are crazy!
I love your new backdrop. Maybe you can help me.. I can not figure out how to add a pretty background to mine :(
what on earth is corn pudding?
I have never heard of corn pudding? What is it? A dessert?
Anywho I love the sweet potatoe casserole! It's a tradition at our house and the recipe is similar to ours :0)
