Elm Streets Last Brat

damn lemmings....

Yeah its been awhile since ive updated, so ill give a recap of the past few days.

Saturday was the food fest, and kaylas babyshower. It was supposed to storm on sat but it didnt really so we woke up and got to the food fest right when it opened. We got our usual. We both had the pork kabobbs first, then don had a corn dog, then i had the grilled corn on the cob mmmm, then he had some cheese fries and then a burger, then i got mini donuts, a corn dog and then we both had another pork kabobb and then we left because i had to get to Kaylas shower. Well I got there and after a little bit of chit chat we got everything started, and played a couple of games. I won the first game, and got a PRIZE!! I got these awesome cups from Target and this lipgloss also. Kayla then opened presents, and got a lot of cute stuff. She got about 4 handmade quilts, which sucks for dons mom because she was having one made and it wasnt ready in time for the shower, BUTTT I told her that its a good thing she didnt have the quilt at the shower, because then it would have just been another quilt in the bunch, and now when she gives it to her at the hospital it will be more special. I think kayla liked my gifts (I hope she did!!) I painted her 3 little pictures of images from her crib set, and then made her a super cute picture frame which i think turned out really well.

Kayla is now dialated to 1cm, so I guess she can go into labor pretty soon. She is scheduled for July 31st, but IIIIII guessed that it would be between the 12th-17th, with a specific day of July 14th, but now im kinda feeling July 17th a little more. We'll see! I cant wait till she's born. It will be awesome to have a little girl around. It will be really fun when she gets to be like 6-8 months and I can actually play with her and she'll be laughing and whatnot

Sunday we didnt do much of anything

MONDAYYYYY we left for the casino, and Heinen came. She was trying to use her daughters comp points to get a room, and that didnt fly so she didnt get one, and was gonna stay in the lounge all nite, but jeanette found some people that she knew and they gave her a ride home thank god. They moved my Munsters machine, and I thought that they took it out and i about had a fit. Jeanette did good for awhile and was up about $300, but things took a turn for the worse. Don played poker ALLLLLLLL nite and didnt come to bed until like 6am. All in all he was down about $120 which is really good for staying overnite.

Tuesday was Jeanettes birthday....the big 5-8, although she'll be forever stuck in my head as being 54, just like my mom and dane will always be 41, and their friend Jill will always be 37. I dont know why that is.

I dont know if i wrote about this yet, but i got a Cuisinart food processor, and i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEE ITTTTTTTT SOOOOO MUCH!!!! Its so awesome!!!

Yesterday don gave me some money to go get house stuff, so i finally got the console table ive been wanting, some throw pillows for the couch, a mirror for above the console, some wall ledges, a big bamboo vase, and a lampshade. Today i painted some images on the inside of the lampshade so when you turn it on, it looks like shadows on the shade.....it looks cool. Ill have to take a picture later.

Speaking of pictures, I have a bunch to post, but im too lazy to do it right now, so that will be done tomorrow. Thats it for now...

So yeah, this is a super easy no bake pie, that has a pretzel crust instead of a graham cracker. The hardest part of this pie is squeezing the juice out of the tiny key limes!

Melt your butter and pour into pretzel powder and stir it up reeealll nice

zest those little limes until you have about 1T


now squeeze the little bitches until you have about 1/2c. and pour into bowl with zest & add sweetened condensed milk and a tiny bit of vanilla if you wish. Stir really well



Fold in your whipped cream gently until combined and fluffy



spoon into cooled crust and smooth it out, and make it look purdy


Chill at least 2 hours before serving

-1c. pulverized pretzel crumbs or graham if you prefer
-3T. melted butter
-1/4c. sugar

Filling:
-1T. key lime zest or regular limes if you dont have key limes

-1 can sweetened condensed milk
-1 8oz container of cool whip (i only had the big one, and used a little over half)

So today our neighbors had a yard sale.....AND GOT ARRESTEDDDD!! I dunno what the deal is, but everyone was outside watching and the cops came and took 2 of them away and blah blah blah, but yeah they took 2 away in handcuffs.

This weekend is the parade. Zach is coming over...he hasnt been around in awhile so that should be fun for don to spend time with him. Im gonna make veggie pizza tomorrow and some dark chocolate ice cream mmmmm

So today me and Savannah got some stuff to make shirts. We both got white t-shirts and cut out the neck and cut up the back and made little strips and tied them in knots all the way up the back, then we tied up the sleeves with ribbon. In a couple of days we're going to use the iron-on transfers we got. One is a fish in a bowl and the other is a bird in a cage. We also got these cool ransom looking iron on letters. Im gonna put "bird brain" on mine, and "fish face" on hers. Yeah its real gay, but i cant think of anything else that would relate to birds and fishes and we want them to be kinda matching. I also cut her hair...its the same haircut, but shorter. I hope brenda isnt pissed at me =X I wouldnt think she'd mind though, but I did it without asking, because Savannah said she was gonna keep her hair short during the summer anyways, so it saves brenda some money. Its about up to her chin, and it wouldnt have been quite as short, but Savannah kept moving around and crap and one part got pretty short so I had to even it up. Savannah said she loved it though so thats good =) I was gonna do her highlights today too, but by the time we got home from Crafts Direct and done with our shirts, we wouldnt have had enough time because it needs to be in for almost an hour.

So im gettin pretty excited about our Casino trip coming up!! Its been awhile since we've stayed overnite, and it was super fun the last time we did because its fun to go down and gamble at like 1am when barely anyone is in there =P

The other day me and dons mom went to Bath and Body Works for their BIG SEMI-ANNUAL SALE!! and i got a $16 body wash that ive wanted to try for $4..its lemon and i got 2 mini body washes 2 for $5
Then I went back the other day and got another lemon body wash, 4 packs of makeup remover wipes, 2 more body washes and some hand wipes alllll for $18

Well I dont really have much to write about so its picture time!!
