Hero Burgers!

For everyone who asked, here's the hero burger recipe. Make them, they are weirdly delicious.

You need:

*1 lb. raw hamburger or a mix of hamburger and ground sausage. I like the mix.
*1/2 chopped onion
*1 can tomato soup
*1/4 c. Worchestershire sauce
*crushed garlic - however much you like. The original recipe says one clove, I think we
used about 4.
*steak seasoning
*oregano
*hero buns
*fresh tomatoes
*cheese, whatever kind you're into

First mix 7 ingredients together in a bowl. Then split the buns in half, lay them out on cookie sheets and broil the bread until it's brown and toasty. Take your hamburger mix (yes, it's still raw) and spread on the buns. Kind of squish it in a little. Cook your hero burgers @ 400 for about 10 minutes. Push the meat down again. Then cover with cheese, and put them back in to melt the cheese. After they're done, put slices of the fresh tomato on top, and eat. Ketchup for dipping is also delicious :)

Halloween, and my crafty MOM!

My mom made Ben, Liam, and Amelia some fabulous costumes this year. She spent four straight days sewing, and they turned out so cute! Liam is an elephant, Amelia is a pink kitty, and Ben is the Green Lantern. We went to Ben's school Halloween party Friday night, and then Saturday Jason's mom & Charlie came up, and Laura, Jake, Amelia, John, and Aziza all came over for Hero Burgers and Trick-or-Treat. I love Halloween!!!

On the tractor, riding to the pumpkins!

A very productive morning.

The other day I stopped at Laura's house, thinking we could do some crafting. Of course I didn't bring any crafty stuff with me. I didn't plan ahead much. At all. But we decided to just go for it, and we got her boxes of random fabric out, and got crafting. Amelia helped by taking a nap, and Liam helped by crawling around the kitchen getting into things. But in just a couple hours, we whipped up some pants for Liam and two skirts for Amelia. Sadly Laura's insanely cute skull skirt doesn't fit her. Dang.
It's still super cute. And maybe Beth's baby will be a girl, and then she can wear it!

Skirt and pants I made - Brown wool with blue and reddish stripes, cotton hearts on Amelia's skirt.





Laura made the cute little skull skirt. I want one in my size.
