Italian Stuffed Shells
6 shells on the bottom of greased pan (in your grocers freezer)
3/4 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup alfredo sauce
put some pesto on each shell
3/4 cup mozzarela cheese
1 Tbsp parmegian cheese
375 degrees for 25 minutes
remove lid, bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes
This is a great one to make in quantity and freeze for a later date. Just thaw it before baking!
Sawyer & Avery in front of the Christmas tree
I was brave and took both kids to get pictures done at the mall. Avery was very cooperative (l guess lunch at the mall was a good incentive) and Sawyer did pretty well, but only for a few pictures. Poor kids, it was so HOT and I made them wear these holiday outfits!

Pete & Sawyer
My good friend Sara Ann was in town from Washington. She had Peter John one day after I had Sawyer! They are so close to being twins! Not knowing it they have the same exersaucer, swing, some clothes, socks and even a sign language chart!! Weird?

If you have any warm clothes (jackets, sweatshirts, pjs…) you are planning to donate or get rid of…
I found a great place to donate them!! My friend Lisa and her family are traveling to San Felipe, Mexico to help build an orphanage. They are collecting warm clothes and food (beans, rice & powdered milk) to take with them. They have a big camper and they want to fill it up! They are leaving mid-November so let me know if you need me to pick up some stuff from you to get to her.
The Cameron Clan all dressed up as characters from Peter Pan. Avery dictated who we should dress up as. Originally she wanted me to be Wendy but Wendy only wears a nightgown, and I didn’t think people would know who I was. So we ended up with Avery as Tinkerbell, I was Peter Pan, Dan was Captain Hook and Sawyer was Tick Tock the Crocodile. I guess our costumes were ok, since people did know who we were dressed up as.

We finally got to carve our pumpkins on Wednesday. I helped Avery carve a smaller one. She drew the face on the pumpkin and I helped guide the knife to cut our all the stuff. She insisted that we cut out a chin. Then she painted it all colors. When that was all dry she glued on some buttons and beads. There is one bead in the nose of the jack-o-lantern, it’s a booger!
I painted a face on my pumpkin and put a mask on it.
Dan took on the big pumpkin. He carved out the mummy that was on Sawyer’s shirt. Looks pretty good.

I asked Avery if she had to go to the bathroom before we left…
A: No, don’t have to go.
Me: Are you sure? We’ll be in the car for a while…
A: Look at me. I don’t have to pee.
Like I can “see” if she has to pee or not!
We checked out a kids book and tape from the library for Avery to enjoy. She was excited, so when we got home she took it all out and… the tape was broken!! The ribbon wasn’t attached, there was no way to play the tape!! So, when we went to return the books we had checked out, I kept the tape & book out to show the librarian. I explained that we didn’t even put the tape into the machine… we had to pay for the book & tape! At first the computer said it was worth $22, so I told them to forget it, I won’t return it and you can charge me $6- the most they charge for a lost or overdue book. She was nice enough to only charge us $5!
