I love this girl.

My almost-3-year-old talks and looks bigger than she is.

She says things like,"How was your day Mom?" and "Of course you can!" So many things that I want to remember and retell her. So many things I don't write down and wish I did.

We went out to a few shops this afternoon and she was so busy watching other people she ran into a brick wall. Her forehead has the mark to show it!

"The sunshine is Lento, Mom" She says this at 6:15am as she opens the door to our bedroom. She pushes me over and continues "The sunshine is slow."

Yes, dear. It's slow. Why her internal clock is set to wake before 6:30am is beyond me. I tried to convince her to stay in bed until the sun has ACTUALLY risen. That lasted about 15 minutes. She bounced into bed with me proclaiming "The sun is up! Wake up everyone!"

She is quite the ray of sunshine herself. Always dancing, singing, laughing, smiling. Well. That, and she's always asking for a snack.

I just wanted to get a few things jotted down. And these adorable pictures. She's just too irresistible!

April Fool's Day Pranks

Oh what joy this day brings. Just thinking about pranks thrills me to tears! I decided to make up a tasty treat for my family along with a few other low-key pranks. Enjoy! April Fool's Day Chocolate Chip Cookies: She wasn't very happy with me when I told her what they were ... she was too keen on these - knew something wasn't quite right and never actually tried one. Did you figure it out?  These are baked taters and black beans!!! Simply delicious if you're expecting garlic, salt, sour cream, and potatoes!  Here's how: 1. Whip up your favorite mashed potato recipe (I used 3 medium potatoes) 2. Mix in a few drops of yellow food coloring (3 drops was enough for this batch) 3. Stir in 1/2 can rinsed black beans 4. Then drop on a cookie sheet in a 350* oven for 30-45 minutes ... until golden on the top. These will taste delicious with a little salsa at dinner time!  By the way: I did make REAL cookies so as not to comp

wii are fat and wii need a change

For Thom's 40th birthday/Christmas present we purchased a wii. I was reluctant but it was THE only thing he'd been asking for since June of '07. Whenever we received gift cards for our wedding he asked (begged!) for a wii. I politely denied his request and continued meandering through the housewares section. Since he was still asking for one a year and a half later, I figured he was serious about wanting the wii and this wasn't some toy helicopter that he'd play with for a few weeks and then forget about. I have to say I've enjoyed the wii ... even renewed my love of Tetris. It's an expensive toy though. I'm not a fan of credit cards and spending money we don't have, but we made a purchase last Monday that we're putting to good use. The wii Fit. For two fatties who sit on the couch and watch tv every night this has been a great tool for us! This past week has been so different. It's nice to come home, have fun, be together, and work
