pink saturday

good morning to everyone! hope y'all pink saturday with beverly is a lovely spring day!! down here we're expecting thunderstorms all week-at least it'll help with the garden. my first pink picture is from our second c.h.o.m.p. dinner at my house. the theme was "mom's cooking" and everyone had to wear an apron. this pic includes my mom, me, my daughters and daughter-in-law, and my grandbabies (four generations!) we had a great time, the food was fabulous and i ate too much.

this picture of georgia is from mother's day. she's wearing the new dress i made her a few weeks ago. i crocheted the circles to mimic the fabric.

and i had to include a picture of gabe even tho' he's not in pink!! (his lips are) he plays with the mardi gras beads every time he's here-they're his favorite toy.

thanks for visiting me and i'll be going to y'all all week. today is my hubby's work picnic (in this lovely weather) and i'm bringing the babies so i probably will be too tired to start until tomorrow!

adding a note to promote a new yarn by spud and chloe-red, white and blue for memorial day! it look like silk but is actually washable wool and cotton. check it out here!

c.h.o.m.p.

a couple of months ago rachael had an idea that we should get together (all the girls and kids) and form a dinner club to use our good serving china and visit, play games, create memories, and eat of course! we all brain stormed and kt came up with the name c.h.o.m.p. (can't have our men present) unless of course, they follow certain rules (such as dressing like a woman and behaving!) anyway-there are some rules to follow. everyone must be a hostess (even at someone else's house if they don't have the room), you have to follow the theme, and you need to bring a dish following the theme also. rachael hosted the first chomp and her theme was italian food and wearing roman togas to celebrate the Ide's of March. we had so much fun and laughed and ate and laughed and ate!!!

here's gabe doing a pose on the hassock. just like a man--he laid there so naturally and didn't move for quiet a while!
some of the food. ceasar salad, calzones, brushetta, foccacia bread. we also had shrimp alfredo, frittata, mac and cheese, portabello mushrooms, roasted red pepper soup, and desserts.
georgia and i wore our brightly colored togas proudly! she left it on for almost the whole party. we played bingo (loudly) and really had so much fun. our first chomp was a success. the next one will be in may (because of Easter in april) and the theme is "mom's cooking" at my house. everyone has to wear an apron!
