On the fridge

Where's our cake, we want cake!

We are celebrating Sandy's birthday tomorrow. I'm making a layer cake...waiting to see what she would like in between the cakes. The chocolate frosting which will be covering the cake or some mixed berry jam.

I also made some cole slaw, picked up a mess of cold cuts to make a deli platter with in the morning, and, oh, there goes the timer for the eggs. I'll devil them in the morning before we head over.

A spike in temperature

I pushed to get the boys out while we had the warm day, before the rain came. Goodness, the light was amazing for picture-taking. Days like this, when Spring seems not so far away, are nice.

Veggie soup

Today's vegetable soup came out SO good.

Garlic, ginger, onion, carrot, celery, daikon, Swiss chard, potatoes, chicken broth, water, vegetable bouillon.

Mace Windu by Sag.

Gem's discovered a new book series to enjoy. I started this one this morning. I was curious and so far am pleasantly surprised by the writing.

They've been word processing their own Ugly Guides.

One more level to go on the Star Wars Lego computer game!

I'm sorry

"I'm sorry" doesn't mean much when it is thought that you've crossed the line.

"I'm sorry" still means something to me, though.

Girl time

A date on the playground was followed by noshing at our place. (A first attempt at a new GF tortilla recipe came out tasty, but odd shaped...a tortilla press has definitely taken root in my future.)

Pippa chose yesterday to be the day to start climbing on playground equipment. (Always such an honor to be present for milestones like that.) Lila chose yesterday to be the first time she came with me without her mom when she walked back to our house with us rather than drive over with Kelly and Pippa. (The honor here being obvious!)

After nourishing our bodies, we bid a hasty good-bye so I could make it to my appointment with Vinny on time. With promises to get together for sushi-making at week's end.
