This is what happens...

I do not talk on the phone a lot. With five kids it is near impossible. Because of noise level I usually have to go into the garage or outside to be able to hear the other person. But, of course, I do talk to my Mom a couple times a week. Today, I was on the phone with her and the girls decided they needed a second snack. So, they got the almonds from the pantry. The Sam's Club almonds...

that is 3 POUNDS of heart healthy almonds.

They dumped almost the entire container of almonds on the floor and divided them into three piles. One for Hannah, one for Chloe and one for Maxine. Yes, Maxine... the dog. You can see we have been working on sharing. I believe they are getting it!

This is what is left of our almonds...

I promise I didn't let them eat them all. After I snapped the pictures I had them throw the rest in the trash. I think this maybe a sign that they are growing tired of the Halloween candy!

Don't try this at home.

Monte loves the show Man v Food on the Travel Channel. This guy, Adam, travels all over the US and does different food challenges. I hear "I can do that!" a lot coming from the man I married. One of the challenges was to eat 5 hot wings covered in habanero sauce in five minutes. Since that episode aired Monte has wanted to take a detour to Pittsburgh (that is where the restaurant is located) next time we head to Maine, just so he can do the competition too.

Well, it gets better! When we were in Target on Saturday, Monte bought 4 habanero peppers and then came home and deep fried them. He is an amazing cook, I am sure I have mentioned that before and he even whipped up his own dipping sauce.

Here are some pictures, in order, of him eating the peppers!

Yes, that is him looking very sick and sick he remained for the rest of the weekend. I love my husband to death, but I believe he lacks some common sense. At least now he has no interest in going to Pittsburgh!
