Free Pizza Printable

This past weekend was Pinewood Derby for our Cub Scouts. We wanted to give each Scout a piece of pizza for participating when they were done.When a Scout checked in they got this little token to turn in for pizza at the end. It worked out really well and it helped us keep an eye on pizza and how much we used up for the Scouts and were extra. Parents were happy to their kids got a little something to munch on after all their efforts.

In case anyone could use it for Scouts or any other project, I wanted to share.
I changed it a bit from ours to give you a little more room to use it for other events. 

And here is the cover page of the file below. Included is a pizza with circle words and no circle keyline or with a circle keyline. I cut mine with a 2 inch circle punch after I printed them. However. you could them square to if it makes your life easier. Enjoy!

30 in 30 download.

So in my New Year's Goal vibe. Here is a little sheet I call 30 in 30. I am a big list person. I feel so much better if I can see I accomplished something that day. There are so many little things I would like to do around the house and the studio. So I have this list up on the fridge with little things on it that I want to do. Like I hang new curtains from Christmas. I just keep running out of time to do it. So I am gonna put it on this list. Every time I look at my "Mail Center" I think I need to fix that. I have the ideas. Just not the done part. Every time I look at the junk drawer I think yeah I could just sit down one night and run through it. But by the end of the day. I must admit I don't think straight and can't remember those little things. Like how long have I been thinking about rehanging my grandma's quilt because it looks off centered. It sounds insane and maybe I am the only Mom that gets lost in the to-do's and the interrupted before the Ta-Done part. But just in case here is a file. Both are printable and come in a different color schemes and one is fillable. So you can type it up on the computer.

This is for your personal use. Please download with that in mind. 

Here is the Download link for the printed form.

You will need to be a registered member of the forum to download.
But no password is needed. 

If you share on Pinterest please add my name with @Chris Durnan so I know it has been added to the Pinterest world and can follow your boards as well if you are a follower or HashTag me #chrisdurnan so I can see what is liked the most and what isn't and work in that direction.

Enjoy!

Menu Monday

Welcome to Monday!!!

I am busy busy. Trying to get a bunch of items under control before I get the call.  We have a sick little boy who has been home for the last few days and missed some big events and begged to go to school today.  I am hoping it makes it through the day, but am on standby to pick him up. I am working on my menu for food today. We picked up a bountiful basket this past weekend. So gotta make a menu plan.

So here goes.

Monday
Grilled Chicken and Brussel Sprouts. Going to try this recipe. Crunchy Sweet Brussel Sprout Salad.
-Cook extra chicken for Tuesday.

Tuesday
Extra Grilled Chicken and Make Chicken Nachos
-Tortilla Chips, Chicken chunks, Cheese, Salsa, Sour Cream melted together

Wednesday
Grilled Salmon or Steak? (Gotta ask Hubby) And Grilled Cauliflower (We grill cauliflower in tinfoil. First we toss them in a little olive oil. My goal this year is to cut salt completely out of my cooking because we all put salt on our meals. So if I can cut it in one place. It's a start. So I won't be salting it before it grills. ) This menu sounds really good. From Food Network.  However, I just don't have all of these ingredients on hand. Although I see grapeseed oil showing up more and more. I wonder what that is like. It seems to be a tossup for olive oil. I will have to look more into it.

Thursday
Busy Night… Leftovers

Friday Night
Freebie Friday. Kiddo gets to make the meal or decide to not cook and have make your own.

So that is my calendar for food. This is a New Year's Goal. Get more on top of our food and using up these awesome bountiful baskets.

We also got pomegranate in our basket. I think just two of them. Does anyone have any interesting ideas for this?

We also got lots of pears. I think I am gonna cook it down into pear sauce. I have one of those cool kitchenaid attachments that will pull the peals out and give you the pear sauce. Or grill pears might be the next option. Think skewer them and maybe drizzle them with a lite sauce for better grilling. I will have to do some seeking on this.

And thank you!! I have received some really positive and happy emails over the weekend. Thank you! I really appreciate when folks take that few seconds to say Hey! Thinking about you. And for some reason when worrying about my little one these positive notes showed up in my emailbox. Just wonderful. Thank you! You made my day.

And now I am off to find some meds. Yep yep. Sharing is caring is the words they say. Personally when it comes to colds. I don't think of caring as sharing.

Have a fantastic Monday!

Enjoy!
Chris

Sense of ???? what???

The quote of the week from my little child…

My little eye rolling & trying to get my “goat”  child…

So we are working on homework. New concept. I am getting a little out of sorts trying to explain .. .and well.. we are finally done. Wew. I think he got it… but …

 I started being silly and annoying and…. Buggy .. just a Mom…

 

My son says in a very dramatic sigh and voice…. “ My Mother has no sense of HUMILIATION!”  ( I notice him smiling and looking to see the reaction.)

Seriously? I humiliated him in front of the dogs,the horses? What? There is nothing around us to humiliate him in front of… . So I got up.. put on the tunes as loud as I could. And danced around and air guitared and head banged my long hair. And by the end of it he was on the floor banging away with drum sticks from Rock Band and laughing and thoroughly enjoying….

 

Oh did I tell you he wants to start a Rock Band. Yeah him and three other friends and he has plans….

 

OH BUDDY! Wait ‘til you see your Mom’s “sense of humiliation” just you wait !

 

Love my life. I truly do. Love my life.

 

And on that note. Have an awesome and rocking weekend!!! We plan to!

Enjoy!
Chris

Wandering and Wondering Wednesday

Okay folks. My mind is wandering and wondering. My hubby got this little wine sampler set for the holidays. He finished one and threw away the bottle. I saw one sitting there and thought hmm what could I do with it? They are so little and dainty. So I rescued the three remaining.  Yes storage ideas for little things comes to mind. But I wonder could I use it for a message in the bottle valentine? Or a treasure hunt something.. or?? Any little ideas? I took a photo with a dry eraser marker so you could better see the size. Oh I just thought of another. Have my son write a note for teacher appreciation week and put it in the bottle with a tag that says... We didn't need a map to know you were the treasure... Hmm something hokey like that which will make my son roll his eyes at me and giggle all at once. Your ideas are welcome please leave me a comment here or in the forum. Stop by tomorrow for this weeks freebie.
Enjoy! Chris

Resolutions....I have the answer to 1.... woohoo!

Well I have the answer for one Resolution... to get more of my photos scrapped. .. participate in the monthly sketch challenges. I would have at least 12 done this year. and if I can work it for double layouts then 24. I could dream, but I better just do it.

So of course like many of the crafters out there .... we are all trying to keep up on our own projects putting together memories. I really want to get those albums together I am missing. This year I decided my goal was to just not get lost in this year and not get this year done to. We have albums I have done and my son just pours over them page by page. He shows them to visitors. He just loves to see the old pics. So this year my answer is the Sketch Challenges in the forum. Ileana and Lori are running the January Sketch Challenge and Ileana is offering up files for digital scrapbooking and for digital cutter. What couldn't be better for scrapping folks who want to be versatile. So this is my first of  my goal. I took photos I posted the other day and put them into a layout using Ileana's file. So here we go! I look forward to having an album to show for this year. and ahhhh.. well I better remember to print it out. If you want to join in... Visit the forum here. and if you wanna catch up there are older layouts and files as well. Just dive right in and post them in our gallery. 
Enjoy!
Chris

Have a wonderful day!

Oh the weekend...Love it

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We were busy busy, but we spent lots of time together so in my world that works. We bowled at a birthday party for a friend's son. D did awesome. He loves to bowl. Worked on the screen porch off the patio of the hobby barn. I am way excited about this.  An area to sit during the summer without the horse flys bugging us and Dalen can move and stretch around. Even where he can build his legos maybe and leave them setup for a bit. So thinking about different table ideas etc. Just looking forward to it. 

D Adventures. 

So today is a day off school. My son has a really sore throat and bad cough. hoping it goes away as he has awesome next weekend plans and I would hate for him to miss it. So he is hanging out and decided since he can't sing to his karaoke cd to play the "drums". He is banging and beating dish lids in his room and comes out and says "MOM? Why didn't I get a drum set for Christmas? I am so good." I smiled, hiding my panic because I have already considering calling the hubby to find out where the ear plugs for the shooting range are,  my response was... "because your room doesn't stay clean enough to make the room for it. So when I see that happen we'll talk." Big groan. "Mom I am sick. geesh. you could help me dream about having a set".. .and a way he walked. yes I am a big bad crusher of dreams. or hey .. novel idea... pick up your room. haha. what a silly boy. 

Cody Adventures
Cody loves love to fetch things from my son's room. If he can, nerf gun bullets, are the perfect grab. So if the gate is down he will rush in their and snag one and bring it out. So I had left him in the house and run out to the barn real quick. I came back in and here he sits. he looks just perfect. No worries. So pretty I even took a picture. And then I tried to call him over. He wouldn't move. Like he was frozen. I sat and thought then 

I said "Cody.... what do you have?"

and this look below is the one I got in response... 

HA! Caught him. he was trying to hard to hide it. I had to laugh. 

There is the tell a tale orange nerf bullet. So funny he tried to hide it and not move. 

And then looked away when I started to talk to him. It still makes me giggle

Did you see the cowbell around his neck. Yeah the stinker took off to the big dog yard and we couldn't find him. So we found him! and then tada. Time for the cowbell. He ran around like a crazy bat whose lost his sonar for about 30 minutes after I added it to his collar. Perfect. Now I can hear where he is while we are outside. He has gotten over it but gets mad and barked at his chest this morning when he was trying to eat and it kept hitting his bowl. 

Hubby Adventures .. 

It is cold and yuck and football game is on and he is working on the screen porch for me. He is just the bestest. He came in to watch the sad sad Packer's game. his logic after the game was... Hey I rooted for the Packers and they lost. I root for the Vikings and they lost. maybe we should both try rooting for the Vikings next year and they would win.. I smiled... rolled my eyes... and politely said. Lets Grill the BRATS! hahah. ;) love him but his football logic is not workin' for me. I have to many cheeseheads, shirts, hats etc to switch teams and purple is notttt my color. So that means.. most likely on Super Bowl.. we will be riding horse. woohoo! Even better. Love my life!

So just had to share some stories. 

This weekend I posted a freebie. if you missed it and are a current QMC member you can download it the perks section. next QMC is coming! Enjoy!

Cody ... almost 9 weeks

Helllo to Everyone! Here is a Cody update. He is almost 9 weeks old. So I thought I would share some pics. 

First this was a beautiful sunset from our house. The mountains looked like cardboard cut outs according to my son.

After school, my cutey patootey comes home and takes Cody outside to play. This was what I caught them doing yesterday afternoon. 

You can just imagine the giggling going on during this encounter. 

They he noticed me and said MOM!!!!

Hubby had a headache and went to bed I stayed up to watch a little more tv and my buddy Cody decided to crawl up on my lap fall asleep. so snuggly.

And today I am working in the house and he just can't seem to get close enough to me. To cute. Fun to have the company. 

Well hope the Puppy Loves of the world enjoyed my Cody posts. 

Have a fantastic day!

Enjoy!
Chris
