"Tamales coming out of our ears..."

As said by my mother. The goal was to make over 250 tamales. We made 352! Well, needless to say we surpassed our goal. YAY for us! The only thing is I've been eating tamales since Sunday, and today my mom just found 2 more bags of the stuff! My mom is getting so desperate, she almost offered some tamales to the Charter Communications guy when he came to fix our internet. (That's a whole other story... I was having internet withdrawals!) Well now to the "meat" of the post. The pictures...
(WARNING: You might find yourself drooling!)

352 TamalesTamales!Tamales again...The King and Queen of Tamales
And finally you get to meet them! My beautiful parents... What do you think of them? :]

I've been crocheting like crazy! Somebody ordered 4 more angels, and another person wants a snowman and an angel. EEK! I have a deadline to meet so I've got to go... But I'd also like to include that our internet went out for 2 days and all I really want to do is read blogs!!! I feel so separated... But I have to crochet, I can't sit in front of the screen and exclaim over everyone's wonderful creations. So I'll just leave you with a picture I took before it started raining like crazy.(I actually LOVE rain, so that's good.)

  3. Well well well did you send an invitation to go and eat cause we didn't get it. That's what you deserve eating those tamales for not inviting us.:*(
