MAY 25 - Happy Birthday Sophia!

I love you!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Food

Last night we ate leftovers for dinner. I made pancakes for myself and Tom had some orange chicken and rice. How were the pancakes leftovers, you may ask. I had half a cup of sour cream that wasn't going anywhere so I made Pioneer Woman's pancakes that use sour cream. They were delicious!

 I burnt the first one, but isn't it pretty?

  There are five pancakes in that stack.

Color

For Eli.

Pole Dancing/Art

Tom rented Cirque De Soleil a while ago. It was interesting. Some parts were pretty cool and others were a little too clowny for me. But the cool parts reminded me of this video I had come across. It's pretty amazing what our bodies can do.

Here's something else that's interesting to think about.

Stuff

Last night I was reading some of our "Would You Rather..." cards to Tom. For some reason there was a card that was so hilarious to me. It said "Would you rather... always spit when you talk OR always be spit on when spoken to?" I guess it was just the thought of Tom in either situation.

A few weeks ago when I started putting my cactus back on the widow sill in the sun, it decided that it was Fall time.

 Cute huh? Those red leaves have since fallen off and it has new ones coming in!

I finally got the Dark Chocolate Crackle cookies right. Last time I made them we discovered a new way to eat our cookies. Scoop all of the dough into dough balls and freeze them. Then we just make a dozen or less cookies when we want to eat them and they're soft and warm; fresh out of the oven. The frozen dough balls of this batch came out looking not too different from when they went in. Success!

We had the perfect dinner to break the fast with on Sunday: Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries.

By the way.... here's something I found while cleaning off the top of our fridge a while ago..

Thanks for the wedding gifts! :/ three years later...

Happy Birthday Dad!
