1. Robyn totally shocked me by loading me up with all these groceries yesterday when I went to her house to pick up Whitney from her sleepover with the cousins. Robyn said she wanted to do something to thank us for taking care of her kids lately, but she really went overboard!
2. Landon was folding and hanging up a load of laundry the other day and came out modeling my track pants and one of Randy's shirts. He thought it was hysterical, but I found the excess fabric from our clothes both telling and disturbing.
3. Of course, the reason I need so much fabric may have something to do with eating fabulous book club treats like this bundt cake with pooling ganache made by Michelle.
4. Or maybe this Tang float which successfully created a very tasty creamsicle flavor. Tang is like my discovery for the year 2009, how have I lived so many years without it?
5. Tasha drove down to Utah County to pick up her girls from her in-laws' house so Hannah arranged a little gathering at McDonald's so Tasha and Jessie could meet. I hadn't seen Hannah in awhile, or hung out with Jessie since she's been in town, and hadn't seen Tasha since last year when I took her family photos, I did see Michelle yesterday though.
Woohoo, success for this super fast post (at least for me since I'm going to bed now).
**Can you believe the bounty of groceries?
Do your kids think trying on your clothes is funny?
Could you say no to such a bundt cake?
Do you have Tang in your pantry?
Have you been to a McDonald's play land recently?**

That was seriously nice of Robyn to give you all those groceries! I love it.
I don't think my kids have ever tried on my clothes, and I sure am glad because it would no doubt be highly disturbing.
The cake is gone now! Whew.
I do have Tang in my pantry! I bought a little container of it after you brought me a cup at the pool. Haven't made any yet, though.
I liked your last paragraph. It made me laugh when you said you saw me yesterday!
i love tang - i will be trying the tang float soon. what a great idea.
and heck no could i ever say no to that gorgeous bundt cake!
Landon is a crack up...he has good humor genes for sure.
Those groceries are amazing, it makes me feel so stingy. I guess it's okay to be stingy with $ as long as you are generous with time. That is something I will have to ponder because I may be stingy with both.
McDonalds...yuck but such a great place to entertain kids while adults have a conversation. When I meet friends there, I try to sneak my own food from a different restaurant in. I think its okay because I always get happy meals.
My comments were turned on to try and win fake eyelashes, but maybe I will leave them on??
That Tang float looks AWESOME! I am buying more Tang today!
Michelle's cake was SO yummy! SO yummy.
Sorry about your photo loading woes- it scares me to blog again because every post seems photo heavy and I do NOT have patience for that.
the photo loading if so frustrating... but I am glad you posted anyway!
THAT CAKE!- amazing
how fun to get together & yes mcdonald's playland is a great place to meet especially in the heat... how about this weather? NO heat here!!
That was great of Robyn :)
Sorry the photo loading woes have reared again.
Very kind of Robyn to hook you up with all those groceries!
That cake looks sinful and oh sooooo delicious. :)
I lived on Tang as a kid--so did my mom. She used to mix it up with tea and EXTRA sugar and some spices to make a yummy hot tea. It was the rage of the 70s.
Glad y'all were able to get together!!
A bounty of groceries--wherever they come from--just never gets old for me.
I do get a kick out of seeing my girls try on my old clothes (many of which now reside in my costume collection). It's like taking a trip down Memory Lane.
I could never say No to such a cake.
I haven't had Tang since I was Sarah's age or younger, but you've given me new motivation to pick some up next time I'm at Costco.
I try--and have always tried--to avoid McDonald's play land at all cost.
Holly - my mom STILL makes that same tea for us every winter!
Jill - I am jealous you got to see Tasha, you are always having such fun outings with Bloggers, even at McDonald's.
My kids would be in haven with all those treats from Robyn. How nice for her to show she appreciates you. My sister makes me pay her cash for every hour she watches mine, so I do not call her to babysit unless I have no alternative.
So I am on a health food kick right now, and this post is tough on a sugar addict like me. I haven't had Tang since I was a kid, but I love creamsicles. Very tempting.
those groceries are awesome! what a great thing to do.
i'm not incredibly excited about children trying on my clothes. it frightens me!
that bundt cake looks like a giant chocolate donut! and i do love a good donut..
tang creamsicle drinks?! you are genius!!! no tang in my pantry. dang it.
mcdonald's playlands...i have discovered one that is nice and clean- and a 20 min drive from my house. there are some really nasty ones around here that i REFUSE to frequent. if i could avoid them alltogether, i surely would.
kellen is hovering- must sign out.
I haven't had Tang in years but you might inspire me to buy some and try it again. My mom used to make the hot tea mix with Tang and I remember it was great for cold nights.
The cake looks sinful and full of calories! All the good things are!
I don't love McDonald's playlands because they always seem to be on the nasty side but we went to one outside of Destin, Florida that was really neat. It even had tables with video game consoles for the big kids.
The bounty of groceries was so nice. I really need to work on my thoughtfulness. I just really never think about doing something like that.
And that cake...holy yum!
Seriously, Jill...the things you say have me giggling out loud..."excess fabric being telling and disturbing"...
A tangcicle....now you're talking!
A cake with pooling ganache sounds dangerous and delightful...
I love the picture of all of you girls together...You're smile just totally lights up a room...
I want to die over the ganache bundt cake. Seriously.
That Bundt cake looks AWESOME! I want the recipe now. Yum. Michelle has the best recipes.
Landon is so funny in those pants. Looks like a homeboy!
I am so not a fan of McDonald's in any way! But if friends are involved I will make exceptions. Looks like you guys had a fun time.
Glad the bounty of groceries was a good surprise. I would have gotten more but I was worried you might not have room if you'd just been shopping. It's really just a small thank you for the HUGE help you have been with the kids on Mondays. Thank you, thank you.
Wow on the groceries! How nice!
Oh I am still dreaming about that cake--especially since it was the last sugary treat I had. It was delicious, and I wish I would have had a bigger piece!
I love the bounty of groceries! Food is love.
Oh, I never let my clothes come in comparison to a tinier body. Bad news bears.
I can't say no to any cake, Jill, from rice to chocolate.
Put the Tang down.
They don't have any playlands in the McDonald's downtown. Can't see why.
