Hola--
Another week of November gone! We are flying through the days. Here are a few of our accomplishments for the week.
TERESA's BIRTHDAY. Yes, she's an official teenager now! "TK," as she is known at school, turned 13 on 
Thursday. It is Veteran's Day, and the kids got the day off of school. Teresa had our 3rd grade neighbor convinced that the school districts cancel school every year just for her birthday.
I was all ready to make a cake or pie for her dessert choice that day, and she chose...fudge! I think I have made fudge ONE time before, in my life. But I did it. Who says kids don't make you stretch?
TOOTSIE ROLL TRUTHS. Both the dentist and the orthodontist tell us regularly that chewy or hard candies are terrible for your teeth and braces. David comes home from school with a "piece" of something..."I was eating a tootsie roll at lunch," he explains, "and this got stuck in the tootsie roll.

Of course my stomach turns over, thinking it's a piece of his tooth. After a quick trip to the dentist, and another quick trip to the orthodontist, we are assured that it is a piece of bonding (glue), not a piece of tooth. Whew! I go home and i
mmediately rifle through all the Halloween candy, and donate all but the candy bars. (Let somebody else pull out their dental work?!?)

WALLPAPER FUN. Kara's group of girls went to help a lady in the church with her daughter's bedroom this week. The girls sprayed the walls and scraped off the nasty old wallpaper. The girls had a blast. I think it must be more fun when you are helping somebody else...? When I did our bathroom 2 years ago, I don't remember it being all that much fun.
RUBIK. David got a 4X4 Rubik's Cube for his birthday. Did you even know they made those? Well, they do.
And that's the way it is. Monday, November 15, 2010. Kari

I used to make a lot. I haven't made it in years. I have a great peanut butter fudge recipe I am now craving. Oh and yes tootsie rolls are bad for teeth but so is carmel and I am going to making some homemade carmel soon too.
Funny Kari. My son is getting a unicycle for Christmas! And, I will definitely be looking for those books.
Braces are so fun - and I like the TK! I need more fudge recipes.
Do you have Susan Heathcotes fudge recipe? It is easy and way too good.
A 4x4? That is crazy.
And yes, we will have fun with the kids this week. It is great that they can take a week off. Clark will be missing out though, shucks. He lives just too too far away.
