"One call...that's all"

Luke was watching a little bit of the preseason Packer game with Dave and I was sitting in the room.

A commercial for Gruber Law Offices came on.  

I've heard their "One call... that's all" slogan for decades, so I didn't think anything of it until Luke, processing the advertisement, commented, "But, you can only call them one time."

Soaking in

On Friday we went to Green Bay to go to Bay Beach.

Luke has been really into the Packers for a couple years, since his friends at school talk about them all the time, so Dave decided to take him to see Lambeau Field.

When we got there, there were tons of people.  We realized there was an open practice.  All the players rode by on kids' bikes and Luke tried to get a high five from them.

He was really disappointed, because he never seemed to be in the right spot.  Later, though, he did manage to get a high five from Randall Cobb.  He was ecstatic.

A few minutes later, I reached down to hold his hand.  Instead of taking my hand, he paused, and then asked, "... Do you think it's soaked in yet?"

Laughing, I told him it definitely had soaked in; I wouldn't rub it off by holding his hand.

The next morning, he told me, "Randall Cobb has soaked into my hand, up my arm, and it's soaking into my chest now and making me a good football player."

I said, "Well, maybe flag football...  Dad and I don't love concussions."

Doughnuts

I was trying to think of something fun and different to do with the kids this week when I the topic of making doughnuts came up on one of my podcasts.  I wondered why we'd never made doughnuts when we'd made so many other things, and I decided we'd have to try it.

I found The Pioneer Woman had a recipe for doughnuts, and you know you can't go wrong with The Pioneer Woman's recipes.

We made our dough Friday night so we could roll it out and make the doughnuts on Saturday.  I didn't have any cutters, so we used a wine glass and a shot glass.  (Actually, we used two wine glasses, since I broke the first one.)

We dipped half of them in cinnamon and sugar while they were still hot.

Our first doughnut, cut into five pieces for each of us to try a taste.  It was amazing!

We let half the doughnuts cool and then glazed those.

Anna said, "If we opened a doughnut shop, our motto could be, 'Every doughnut has a hole.'"

I loved this motto so much, I was actually tempted to open a doughnut shop.  But, since I have very little self control and don't desire to weigh 300 pounds, I let the idea go.
