Duke's
Another local place with character. We tried the fried and grilled fish tacos. Grilled was bland and fried was good. Sauce is tangy and unique. The best was the fries! Yummy!!!!!
Snapper Jack's Taco Shack
No surprises, here..... WE LOVE SHACK SAUCE. Always yummy and like that you have chooses....hard/soft, fried/grilled, flour/corn. And all the salsa are delish. An all time favorite.

Congrats Ventura Youth Choir
This past weekend, Sarah's choir performed at a Music Festival hosted by Music in the Parks. There were judged along with over a dozen other school orchastras, bands and choirs. VYC won their division (hahaha, they were the only community choir and therefore the only one in their category). But they also won BEST MIDDLE SCHOOL CHOIR! And 75% of the choir is elementary school kids!

My New Love..... Pinterest!
If you haven't joined.... DO IT. There is finally a social networking outlet that has IMPROVED my life! From Wiki (another tool I couldn't live without): "Pinterest's mission is to 'connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting' via a global platform of inspiration and idea sharing." It's a public bulletin board! Find a recipe you like, PIN IT. Find a chair you want to buy someday, PIN IT. See a beautilful place you NEED to visit before you pass on the next life, PIN IT. The best part abou it, you can ORGANIZE you ideas, likes, desires! It's an organizational freak's dream come true!
The one thing I haven't figured out how to do is to share how I've used the site. I have started a board, I DID THIS, to showcase the ideas I've taken from Pinterest and actually used in my life. But I want to show my OWN pictures!
For example, we made a book sling for Peggy's room (idea from this blog that was PINNED on Pinterest by someone I don't even know). No pictures yet, haven't hung it up. I also took a cleaning tip and shined my shower! Check out my photos! I also made Easter Brunch for the family.... ALL recipes came from Pinterest! I've become little Suzie Homemaker for the 21st century!

Go Carts, Bunnies, and Earings OH MY
Sping is the time time for change, right? Well SLOW DOWN PEOPLE. There are many changes going on in the Thompson world!
Peggy got her ears pierced. She did great, smiled thru the WHOLE thing. And today Sarah helped her take the studs out and put in "real" earings. I don't which touched me more.... Sarah helping or the fact my BABY has earings.
The Thompson Zoo continued to grow this month..... Sarah got a bunny. Graham Cracker joined us a few weeks ago and is very happy in his homemade hutch (Dave and Sarah built it TOGETHER!). So now we have a husband, three kids, a dog, a turtle, two bearded dragons, and a bunny. Did I mention Dave wants a puppy?
Lastly, YIKES. David got a GoCart TODAY. Good old Craigslist. He broke open his Mario bank (literally, he had to smash it to get the $70+ dollars out of it) and used his birthday money to buy a REAL GoCart. So far just a few quick spins around the local parking lot. It started to rain so we had to put it away.
Bottom line.... they are growing up fast.

Happy Valentine's Day
Please don't think this is normal, but I cooked a themed meal tonight! A day early, I know, but we have a basketball game tomorrow night.
HEART SHAPED TORTILLA CHIPS for our taco salad/nachos. And THEY ATE IT! And it wasn't all that great, but how can you screw up a tortilla chip. I cut regular flour tortillas with a heart cookie cutter; put some flavored oil and salt on them; stuck them in the oven (i picked a temp and watched them because the 10 online recipes i found all said something different). I think what sold the nachos to the kids was the "real" nacho cheese. We NEVER have nacho cheese (and you can guess why!). I made brownies too.... Wow! And we used REAL plates. Huge!
