Easy Ghost Recipe

One package of crescent rolls - join two triangles together then cut in a square. 

4 hot dogs cut in half - get the thicker dogs not the thin and long ones

Put the crescent roll square on the round dog and set it on a tray on the flat cut side. 

Use a knife to make a hole for the eyes! 

Bake 375 for 5 minutes!

Putting two of these in Grady's lunchbox!

OIB Oysterfest

We cruised down to Ocean Isle on Saturday night after Molly Anne's field hockey tournament and a baseball game to Grady. It was sorta crazy getting to her tourney with one car and a dog but we made it happen. Oh and on Friday night we ended up with neighborhood friends on the porch. 


And look who we found! Poppa! He had been in Pawleys building a boat at the Wooden Boat Show with my brother. We captured him on his way back Maryland and had him stay and hang at the Oysterfest with us!  

We all have headed back home today. We always want to stay at the beach longer!

Grouper bites and gin and tonics before we had shrimp creole for dinner! Yum!

Brace Face

Grady got Phase I braces last Thursday! So far, he has made out reasonably well. He can't tell the difference between sore and pain but we are working through it. I think they ache ya know. Mostly he has only had Motrin once a day and just days 2, 3 and 4. 

He will have these for 12-15 months then have a couple year break then get Phase II. 

He's been going to the orthodontist since he turned 7 and they've been working on his mouth since then about every 6 months. He's had four teeth pulled to prep for braces. 

Here we go!

Before

After... he was not thrilled!

Weekend

We really didn't do much this weekend because the rain canceled most of the baseball. He missed three games and a practice. 

Friday night Grady and I went to Brittany's home in the hood to hang out. 

Molly Anne got a late birthday gift from her Aunt and Uncle and she was sooooo excited about her new FP Movement sweatshirt! Her birthday being over a holiday and when she's at camp is hard for people to remember! I'd say this was a pretty awesome surprise!

Skiff learned about pumpkins!

A good boy

Because of the canceled games, Molly Anne and I headed to the mall on Saturday. She loved it. We could have stayed longer but had to get back to take Grady to a birthday party.

We take pictures of things she likes and I add them to an album called "MA Would Like!"

Saturday night we hung at Hilary's to watch the UGA and Alabama football game. We all made appetizers and it was fun!

We didn't do much on Sunday. Watched church and laid low. It was much needed. One more week of field hockey season. Lots of that and baseball this week! These are the days!
