I grabbed our huge orange cooler and filled it with enough sugar for 5 gallons of Kool-Aid. I then grabbed the packets ripped them all open at once and poured them in...to the huge food storage container of sugar. Yup! Wrong big plastic bucket.<BR/><BR/>I did my best to scoop it off the top but it was not going very well. Then I had a realization! There was a lot of sugar in that bucket. If I just mixed in the stuff it would be fine.<BR/><BR/>Thus was born the Kool-Aid sugar bucket. Heidi accidentally used it once for pancakes. After grape/cherry purple pancakes the sugar was designated Kool-Aid only.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the summer we used the last of that sugar. It is an amazing thing to think that we drank that much sugar!<BR/><BR/>It was nice to read up on you and your family!<BR/><BR/>JonJon Conradthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366154865028642877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558624.post-1153286095400629802006-07-18T22:14:00.000-07:002006-07-18T22:14:00.000-07:00Which is why I never ask mine (checking account, t...Which is why I never ask mine (checking account, that is).<BR/><BR/>You will be missed, but we will definitely invite you next time!

New Blog.<BR/><BR/>I have no patience for women who judge other women on how often they leave their kids, if they breastfeed, if they are DOING IT RIGHT. (Sadly, no one thinks that they are that moms and most of us are). You had a great trip, your kids were fine and it made a big change in YOU. If YOU aren't happy, then guess what, the kids aren't happy. <BR/><BR/>Reading your London food made me hungry...so I pulled out a big chunky KitKat :-) Yeah for Pappa V.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Why won't Hugh stop screaming at you? He was doing that BEFORE you left so no one can blame it on the trip...Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.com
