Dutchoven Cook-off

Any fellow Riverview Rebels remember the 9th grade Dutchoven Cookoff? My sister Julie (the last of our clan to roam Riverview's halls) had her cookoff today.



The whole scene has really evolved from a few kids with black ovens and some coals to a whole carnival of tents and money and people and party. I was surprised.


When I did it I partnered with Julie McEwen and we made (well TRIED to make) some sort of pizza thing. It did not turn out well. I hardly remember us enjoying it, much less selling it to others. But Julie and her partner Christal were raking in a healthy profit for their Boy Scout dinner and Peach Cobbler.


Turned out there was a lot of family support. Mom, Natalie and I (the three stay at home moms) each showed up with our kids. Greg came over from the high school on his lunch break. Bob (Nat's husband) came over on his lunch break and brought his brother, Mikey. And Dad brought his co-workers for a department lunch, among which was my brother Peter who's working there for the summer.



 It's reasons like this that I love being home in the day and having so much flexibility in my schedule. It's so fun to be part of whatever's going on. Good job, Jules! It was delicious!!

  2. I'm pretty sure I can tell them apart, but maybe I can't. One baby is transverse above my stomach and the other has been jammed in the bottom left side of my belly (I feel slightly bad for her...). Not only is she taking up about half the space as her sister, but in the last two ultrasounds, her sister's bum is right on her head. Poor thing! haha. It will be fun to see their personalities when they are born. You're right though, they do move around constantly and it's weird to think that they can trade places altogether. Sometimes I wish my stomach was see through so I could tell exactly what's going on in there, but then that makes me sick, so I guess it's good that I can't! :) Wow...that was a ramble.

    I'm glad to hear that six months later, pregnancy is way in the past. Like you, I currently can't think of how my body was when I wasn't pregnant. It'll be good to have it back!
