Still doing our daily walks.

The cold weather is trying to move in

and I'm noticing my back and hips hurting more

no matter how much I walk.

Come the much colder weather is when

I'll start taking all my vitamins, fish oil,

extra vitamin D & C, everything to help

with body aches and preventing sickness like colds

and flu.  As soon as the kids started back to school

I started them back on their multi vitamins and minerals

and zinc/echinacea/vitamin D supplements.

It seemed to help LOTS last year with

colds and flus which can spread around schools 

like wild fire and then spread through families at home.

3:40pm

Time to start making supper.

I had an extra package of hot dogs to use up.

I suggested some chili dogs.

I had an extra can of no beans chili to use.

The kids are tired of eating hot dogs this weekend

so had to come up with a plan B.

In a large skillet I boiled up some water

then added about 6 slice hot dogs

and a box of tube style pasta.

Let it boil til the pasta was tender then drain.

Add in some butter, a can of no beans chili

and some velveeta cheese for 

some Chili Cheese Dog Mac with slices of bread & butter.

For dessert I mixed up a small box of

vanilla pudding and a small box of

pumpkin spice pudding with 4 cups milk.

In a casserole dish I dumped a bag

of nilla wafers into it then poured the 

pudding on top and put into fridge.

I'll have to check to see if I have

some cool whip to put on top.

Today has been a throw together a meal kinda day

with whatever I could find in the pantry.

For breakfast I made spam, egg and cheese

sandwiches on toast.

One child is hollering he is cold.

I ain't turning on the furnace just yet til you can

see your breath outside, lol.

Don't tell me you are cold in this house without

first putting on socks, a long sleeve shirt or sweater

and some pants!

Now we did test the furnace for a couple of 

minutes today to make sure there were no problems.

Gotta love that burnt dust smell, lol.

You don't want to find out your furnace

doesn't work when you need it the most!

Same goes for your air conditioner.

Don't wait til it's 90 degrees outside to run it

for the first time.  Do it in the Spring

when it gets 65-70 degrees outside.

Yesterday me and hubs stopped in Big Lots

to get some cheap spray paint to redo the fenders

on my bicycle.  I know the areas of Big Lots

that has mark downs.  I found a couple boxes of 

Betty Crocker (full size) hot chocolate cake mixes for 

.25 cents each!!  

It's a little over 3 month before Christmas and let me tell ya

that Big Lots has Christmas trees and decorations

out on display already!!! AHHHH!

After Big Lots we stopped in Kroger 

and at the checkout I saw even more Christmas stuff.

I swear each year it gets earlier and earlier 

that stores start putting out Christmas stuff!

We went for our walk earlier at a new place

called Kenney Park.  I like places where you can

walk along water.  Here you can walk 

some homemade dirt trails along the Olentangy River.

After supper and the NASCAR race

we might head out for another walk.

Me and hubby got our housework done this

weekend between tidying up, sweeping floors,

dusting, dishes, cleaning the kitchen and bath,

taking out the trash and the laundry.

Plus had a little doodle time in there to work

on bikes and tinker cars.

4:44pm

Fall is officially here!

I like Fall and all the colors that comes with it.

I don't like the colder temps and what comes after it!
