Now What’s in the Milk?

If I understand this correctly, the FDA is taking comments on whether you think milk producers should be allowed to include sweeteners, including aspartame, to milk or dairy products WITHOUT stating such on the label?

RCHS Wish Week 2013

[pics incl] They all wear the same t-shirt. I don’t mean just my kids, I mean every kid at RCHS! You definitely stand-out if you do not have on a wish week shirt. There is also an incredible number of bald students (boys & girls) whom stepped up to the “Dare to Share Your Hair” challenge. This year they raised over $60,000.00! [NOTE: $60,587.80]

Their Miracle Minute was also impressive! http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2013/02/22/rchs-wish-week-2013-miracle-minute/

Thanks for the Blanket

[pics incl] It’s been chilly in the house because it’s been pretty windy lately, and when it’s windy the fireplace will not stay on (don’t even get me started on that!). The cats were literally begging for the fireplace one windy afternoon and Ashley felt sorry for them. She went and got her electric blanket and laid it out on their favorite spot. It’s not on now but they still appreciate the sentiment nonetheless! I know this because 1) they didn’t move at all when I walked up to take this picture and 2) the fireplace is currently ON 😉

A Cinnamon Lesson

Someone sent me this link today. Apparently I have real and “fake” cinnamon on hand… sigh.

When Q is Not Q

Courtney said she had a question about Q. (And right now I know several of you are thinking alphabet, PQR). I immediately recognized her question as one about Q, the person. I gave her the brief version of how Q is a person AND a species and they are all called Q. She gave me a strange look and said, “NOT Star Trek mom, James Bond.” OH!  THAT Q. Just goes to show you that when your grandma said to “mind your P’s & Q’s” she really meant, KNOW YOUR Q’s.

Good Sports

Congrats to Jeff, Ashley and Heather on winning best sportsmanship for their basketball team.

After each game the officials gave a score for each of the categories (Coaches, Players, Spectators) and the average of those 3 scores are recorded.

Apparently Jeff’s “almost getting a technical” doesn’t equate ;-). Ashley said she schmoozed after that!

Enjoy the pool party, ya’ll worked hard!

Overheard

[pics incl] “What has the world come to… digital fireplaces!” (when talking about our gas fireplace switch)… SIGH… we cannot get it to stay on… but then he remembered The Fireplace Channel… (it’s in surround sound)!

…and then, I suggested roasting marshmallows.

…and … “…hang on, I think our fake fireplace is fake… I need to fast forward!”

Digging Out 02/24/13

[pics incl] It’s mid-blizzard but Heather still has to go to work so Jeff went to clear the driveway. Then Jeff and William went to dig out the neighbors 😉

Wish Week 2013 started today! In one minute, called a miracle minute, the RCHS kids raised $8,426.64. This is the kickoff for the Make-A-Wish “Kids for Wish Kids.”
[NOTE:  Here’s the Make-a-Wish photo:  https://twitter.com/WishColorado/status/306424003290095618/photo/1/large

If you’ve been reading along for a while, you’ll know that RCHS has done a phenomenal job of granting wishes. Here are my previous year’s posts:

Wish Week 2011: http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2011/03/03/make-a-wish-granted/

Wish Week 2012: http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2012/03/03/43486-24/

If you’d like to participate find the RCHS Wish Week calendar here, or follow them on Twitter here @RCwishweek2013.

Tonight is Cosmic Bowling and Courtney took William…. ssshhhh ;-). She said “one of your kids was best at bowling and one was worst at laser tag… oh and William was the only one in our group who wore adult bowling shoes!” I’m still laughing!!

Was That a Fire Alarm?

Ya know… when the batteries die in a fire alarm, it makes the alarm go off. However, the alarm only goes off briefly, just long enough to startle everyone, but not long enough to determine which alarm! I fully suspect the thing will be going off at 3:00am! [NOTE: Courtney’s first instinct after waking up… was to accuse me of cooking… hmmmm! http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2012/07/07/i-need-new-hot-pads/ ]
