Salsa, Bargains and other Random Things

Yes, I know what you are all thinking...ANOTHER new blog header?? Yes, well..I like to change it often-or perhaps when I was editing my blog, I accidentally erased it. Usually I would just upload it again, but since I recently moved all my pictures onto a USB...it seems I must have deleted it. ARGGGH! So, instead of taking the time to re-leaf the tree...I decided to do something simple. Trust me, it will be a while before I am making anymore changes. Sheesh!

ps. If you can't tell, the silhouettes don't actually belong to us, well aside from Noah's...the other two I 'borrowed' from a digi download. haha


Anyway, onto more important things! We had a wonderful weekend. We really didn't do a whole lot (besides freeze)...but we had fun none the less. My mom and I decided to make a couple of batches of homemade salsa for my slow-growing food storage. Thanks to her it was a success...and I know Andy will especially appreciate it...since we love chips and salsa in our home.

Now doesn't that just look delightful? mmm hmmm. Aside from our salsa making, we decided to hit up the 'Mall Wide Sale' and see what deals we could find. I actually hadn't planned on spending any money, and only made it to two stores....but boy did I get a bargain. I am a love of serving platters and bowls, and I found these stylish ones at Dillard's on a super discount. How much you ask? Let me just break it down for you....

Divided Rectangle Serving platter: Regular Price $30 / Bargain Price: $4.50

Pasta Serving Bowl: Regular Price $35 / Bargain Price $5.25

Round Serving Bowl: Regular Price $30 / Bargain Price: $4.50

Total Savings: About $80. Yeah, who doesn't love a good sale??

How could I write a post without putting up some pictures of Noah...I know IMPOSSIBLE! So here are some randoms. Lately, twice a week, I have been watching my cousins little boy 'E' while she works. Noah and E get along great, except for the fact that E is a lot more mobile than Noah is...so if E feels like taking a crawl over Noah..Noah just grins and bears it. You can tell from the pics that Noah isn't quite sure what is going on...but he is a good sport.

Lastly, these pictures need no explanation. They're just cute...
