Looking for Monsters

Well, I didn't get to blogging yesterday. I got up yesterday morning and did some cleaning and grocery shopping before Erik and Luke came home. I got that done in plenty of time to actually watch a movie before they got home, my forth movie of the weekend was We are Marshall. It was very good and I highly recommend this true story about the 1970 football team at Marshall University. I also made a roast for dinner yesterday, it has been a while since we've made a roast for Sunday dinner and it was very good if I say so myself. :) After dinner and cleaning up we all watched Spiderman 3, Luke has been wanting to watch it since we got the dvd switched.

Tonight was a good night. I got home and worked out, even though I really didn't want to, that just shows you that it was a good idea that I'm working out at home. If I still belonged to Curves you better believe I wouldn't have gone back out to work out tonight. Yesterday, Erik decided we needed to make homemade pizza tonight. Works for me, we hadn't had it in a while. Well, while I was working out Erik was going to start the dough... well, it didn't quite work out that great. This is Erik's mom's recipe and I have been the one to make the dough in the past so I know what the notes mean. Erik couldn't decifer how much sugar and salt needed to be added since I just wrote, 'add sugar and salt.' I don't know why that was difficult. ;) Anyway, he watched me make it tonight, so he can try it out the next time. I was worried that I did something wrong because the dough did not raise whatsoever. Well, I think I've concluded that the flour was too old, so I pitched the rest of that and will try again with new flour. I decided to go ahead and roll out the dough and make the pizza. It actually wasn't so bad, after it cooked you could see where it rose finally! After cleaning up dinner and watching Luke write his name and draw some pictures, Luke got his flashlight that he got this weekend and decided to look for the monster (me), so I ran into the bedroom and shut out the light and Erik shut the rest of the lights off and they went searching for the monster. It was a lot of fun taking turns with Erik to be the monster. Luke had fun too. He got to bed a little later than normal, but he needed to settle down a little bit before we put him in bed, so he watched a little bit of cartoons.

That's pretty much the update on the Huntoon's for the past couple of days. I hope you all had a great day! Until tomorrow...
