Easiest Pineapple Peeler Ever

Several months ago, I started buying real pineapples because they taste so much better than the canned ones. They are much sweeter and juicier. But it is a pain in the rear to cut them up. To cut all of the rine off and all the little rivets in the pineapple. Ugh.

So, I ordered a pineapple peeler from Jennifer's Pampered Chef party. I admit I was skeptical but I wanted to give it a try. I got it like a month ago, but I just now have a pineapple so I used it tonight. You cut the ends off of both ends and set it flat on the cutting board and then you just cut through it like an apple cutter. I was amazed. So, I took a picture.


It cuts the core right out of it and cuts it in to two halves. I just chopped it up into little chunks. The only other thing I did was cut a little sliver off of the sides, because they had just a little sliver of good pineapple on there.
FYI. If you like real pineapples, this is a great investment.

Walmart Customer Service

So, I bought groceries after work. I got home and realized that I was short one sack. So, I got my receipt and check marked all the things I didn't have. I called Wal Mart and they told me that I could bring my receipt up there. So, we did. I got in line at 7:50. I got up to the counter at 8:00 and the guy told me that I could go get all my stuff and bring it back to the counter. So, I thought well i'll go get it and if that guy is still there maybe he will let me come up there and not have to wait in line. So, I walked all over the store and got my stuff and go back to the counter and there are 3 people in front of me and the guy I talked to was gone. At 8:10 I got back to the counter. The guy had to go through the upc codes on all the things I had and on my receipt.

Ok. Wait. The girl in front of me was returning a $50 can of baby formula.

So, at 8:20 he finally let me take my stuff and go.

I spent 30 minutes in that Wal Mart. Sometimes I strongly dislike Wal Mart.

Vacation Bible School

So, Hadley is old enough this year to go to Vacation Bible School. It started last night and will end on Friday. We got there last night and he was clinging on to his dad like crazy. Wouldn't even put his nametag on. We got back to the room and he wouldn't even sit in the chair. He was so clingy. But then after we got there to pick him up, he was HAPPY! He talked about it on the way home and they made a cross that he was VERY proud of. So, when we got home I took his picture with his cross.
So, this morning, he asked me about 4 times before we got to school if we were going to Vacation Bible School after real school. And I kept telling him yes. He was so excited. He even took his cross in the car this morning. So, we got home today and he was excited! We got there today and he waltzes up to the door, got in, slapped his nametag on and then waltzed back to the room. I was cracking up. He went up to his row and sat down and last night his teacher had to pry him away. So, I think he had fun. We got there to pick him up tonight and he was CRANKY! I don't know what his problem was. I think he must be tired. He didn't want to talk to anybody or give hugs or anything. But I still think he enjoyed it.

Father's Day

Hi everybody! I haven't wrote in a while so I thought I would say hi! We haven't been doing much. Last Wednesday, Hadley spent the night with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Michael and all of the cousins. I think they had a grand ol time. Hadley had a lot of fun. This week was a long week and I'm glad its almost over.
This weekend, we are going to mom's house on Saturday for Father's Day. Tomorrow we are going to see my grandma and grandpa in Shawnee and Hadley is spending the night with my mom.

Tonight, Hadley gave his dad the gifts we made for him. We got him 3 little jars with candy in them, a DAD picture frame and a coupon book. He was excited to give him his gifts. We had fun making them. Here are some pictures:






Has anybody been watching "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"? If you haven't, don't. It might possibly be the most annoying show in the whole world.

Ok. I think that's it. I hope you all have a great weekend.
