Mise en Place: October 2011

Putting in Place

My life seems to be a series of putting things into place. The house clean and in place. My children's hearts and attitudes in place. Our homeschool in place to be successful. My marriage in place. And God in place at the head leading it all.
Then of course there is the proper french use of the term "Mise en Place" when in the kitchen. The kitchen is where I am happiest and most confident in my abilities. It is my creative outlet. With a big chef's knife in my hand preparing to cook a meal for my family all seems right.
Welcome to my ramblings about Mise en Place!

Family Time at Disneyland

Beautiful girl

Grant got to sit in the drivers seat of the old Disneyland Fire Engine

I was her passenger. I only have minor whiplash.

"Stow yer weapons"

Grant was a bit smitten with, as Bill called her, "The Tron Babe".

It truly is a small world when you find out some friends are also at Disneyland. We enjoyed Disney-ing with the McGeehans.

Grant was chosen out of the crowd to join the band on the washboard. He was excited. Then got nervous. Then cried. Then sucked it up and had fun. All in the course of 3 minutes. (He takes after me.)
