Balloons

I bought a pack of balloons this morning for about $1. Alex and Olivia have been playing with them for the last hour. I just love it when something simple keeps them occupied for a while. They are running all over the living room kicking and hitting balloons. The trick it though, they both have to have one of a different color.

Joey and Liz came over for supper last night. We had baked spaghetti. I love hanging out with those young adults. I used to call Liz a kid, but she corrected me and said she was a young adult.

I went to Brianna's back to school night last night and I am so excited about third grade. They are teaching the kids to be more responsible. Brianna is a fairly responsible kid, but it sounds like they are teaching them to be more independant. I'm not happy about her taking the EOG at the end of the year, I think it puts too much pressure on the kids. She is actually taking the Pre-EOG this week, they are starting today. She is nervous, but it's on second grade material, so I don't think there will be any problems.

I am so excited about starting to meet with my Middle School girls again on Sunday. I have missed them over the summer. Last Sunday they all said they had a good first week of school, I just pray that continues. I also pray they make good choices in who they choose to hang out with.

Friday is Rock Group. I look forward to Rock Group Friday's. I love just having everyone here and just talking and the best part is when Mr. David has a word to share with us.

I started a new book yesterday that Leigh Walters suggested, The Trouble with Tulip. It's a Mindy Starnes Clark book and very good. I like to get the large print books, so I can read them on the treadmill. My 50 minutes we by really fast yesterday. Thanks Leigh for the suggestion!

Baked Spaghetti

1 jar spaghetti sauce
8oz sour cream
1 lb spaghetti noodles
Mozzarella cheese

Cook noodles according to directions on package. Mix sauce and sour cream. Combine the sauce mixture with the cooked and drained noodles, put in a casserole dish. Top with lots of cheese and bake at 350 until cheese is melted.

This is so good and so easy. It makes a lot too. It warms up well for lunch the next day. Alex and Olivia will be eating it for lunch today.

This turned out to be longer than I expected. I hope you all have a great week.
