Chocolate pudding

Made tapioca pudding last week for Catie's birthday. Since then, I've been wanting some chocolate pudding. You can't buy jell-o mixes here except from the USA foods website. And they're out of cook and serve chocolate pudding. And I'm out of the ones Mom brought me. Anyway, a couple years ago I made a bulk mix and tried to find that recipe but couldn't. So I looked online and found some. Just thought I'd post them so that I'd be able to find them again sometime and because they are cheaper for me than buying the mixes and probably for all of you too. And it's just as easy as making it from the box.

Our Morning




Jennie had a dentist appointment and the rare time of no family being able to watch Emily. So, instead of starting school this morning we are having fun feeding, playing with, changing, fighting over, etc. little Emily. What a great way to start the week!!

Catie got a cricket bat and some tennis balls from one of her friends for her birthday. And as she told me yesterday, "we are so into cricket now!"

Australia Day

Today is Australia Day! I believe that would be more like Columbus Day rather than Independence Day. Either way it means a day off work. =) We started the day with breakfast at Hungry Jack's then a trip across the parking lot to Bunnings. Didn't get anything there though. Then we took a little drive (air conditioning!!) and ended up at Josh's parents' place. They were just about to leave to help someone move so he went with them and the girls and I stayed at their place and used their air conditioning and watched their satellite/cable/whatever tv. =) very nice. Then I brought the girls home for naps and now we are waiting on Josh to come home and we'll have dinner.

Tonight is a special night for my friend, Marlana. at 6pm (I think) she will take part in a citizenship ceremony and become an Australian citizen!! How exciting!! Congratulations, Marlana!!
