Argh! My Babies are getting too big!

This weekend was a busy one around here. My oldest daughter decided she wanted to raise some money so she had a bake sale at a local convience store. I left pretty much everything in her charge. She got permission from the store owner, helped me bake a shit ton of goodies, and sold her little heart out! I am so proud of my girlie!

So sweet right?
As for my oldest baby, he went to PROM!!!!!! I can't believe it! He looked so amazing and his girlfriend was stunning!

What a surreal experience it is to have your kid go to prom. The rented tux, the corsage, the fancy dinner, etc... For my own prom I went with some guy from work and had a blast with my BFF. I can't wait to hear all about it. I don't know all the details yet because at 10:30 a.m. my son is still out! He went to an after party at a friends' house and I pick him up in about an hour.

The benefit of Hurricane Irene

We were lucky that no we had no damage or loss of power. So I am grateful for that. In addition the wind made my pear tree drop a TON of pears. So we have been picking them up and trying to use them up. I have had so much fun looking up pear recipes. Yesterday my girls had their BFF's over so we made Pear Crumble for everyone.
MMmmmm, yummy pears...
