Just in case you were wondering...

Candy Corn

First created in the 1880s by George Renninger of the Wunderle Candy Company, the three colors of candy corn are meant to symbolize actual corn. Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn, as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn.
Candy corn is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup and honey. Working by hand, the original manufacturers first combined sugar, corn syrup and water and cooked them into a slurry. Fondant was added for texture, and marshmallows provided a soft bite. The final mixture was then heated and poured into shaped molds. Three passes were required during the pouring process, one for each colored section. Few changes have been made to the process or recipe, with machines now performing the tasks formerly done by people. Candy corn can be found at most popular grocery food stores in the United States.

no posting???

I have a new hobby. digital scrapbooking. I got sucked in (thanks a lot tina...) jk, I really am enjoying it. I also am enjoying the Catching Fire book!!! It's the sequel to The Hunger Games (only the best book ever.) so i'll post one of my little pages I've worked on. Don't scoff. I'm learning- slowly but surely. and don't laugh that I'm this far behind in scrapbooking.

thanks

SAM

This is sam. He's the puppy that jack bought as a surprise birthday gift 2 yrs ago. We've loved having him as a part of our family. He started not acting like his happy self when gabe came around because sam became the bottom of the totum poll. He was sad, he wasn't getting the attention he needed or the exercise. My parents were gracious enough to take him right before I had gabe so he wasn't around a new born, and he is visibly happier someplace other than our home.

We came to the conclusion a few months ago that he needed a home that would appreciate him (and maybe one without a toddler that would hit him). We talked about putting him on ksl, but my little brother's friend said that he wanted sam. We gave him several months to try to convince his dad to no avail. We were back at square one. Just when we were about to put an add up on ksl, we found him a new home. These people will love and care for him-he has a fenced yard to romp and play, and people to walk him. He transitioned really well to this family and I'm sure he'll be happy.

Afterall-my parents are the ones that decided to keep him :) We are so thrilled, it couldn't have turned out better. We'll still see him lots, we won't have to wonder about some strange family taking him, and I won't have to explain where sam is to corban, and my dad fianlly has his dog!

PS have you rsvp'd to the halloween party yet?

HALLOWEEN PARTY!

What else to say besides I hope to see everyone there! (unless you're out of state then you get off the hook ;) )

Ben's home!!!

:)
need I say more???
*corban already adore's him again haha*

ouch.

so corban was swinging a sock around like a nun-chuck or something and whacked me right in the eyeball (I was sitting on the floor with gabe).

Corban: "oh sorry!!!"
Me: "owwwww...." (holding a hand over my eyeball...)
Corban: "Say it isn't your fault mom!"
Me: "what??"
Corban: "say it isn't your fault..."

That's right...sometimes when corban's spilled something or broken something on accident I say "it's all right hunny it was an accident, it's not your fault". In this case he WANTED me to tell him that this wasn't his fault. Little stinker.

changes

So I've got a little less to change lately...corban's potty training- and doing really quite well. It's been about 6 days now and he's getting used to the whole bit. 1 & 2 on the potty are now old hat and he goes without me asking. I just hope it sticks. There are many changes to come, but we'll take it all in stride.
ps. I read a few choice chapters in the book of mormon the other day- Alma chapters 32-34. Faith building anyone???
