Her new thing; playing IN her toybox.






"Helping" Daddy install a new light fixture in the bathroom.



Just displaying her general 'goofiness'! We LOVE it! :)




~Til next time...

Hungry???

How cool is this???!!!





I made this today for a planning meeting I have tonight. My aunt gave me a book all about decorating cupcakes and this looked easy enough to actually try! It was WAY easy and totally fun! And I promise this will not become a blog about food all the time! :)

I bought URINE!

and no, not for a clean drug test!
So that smell in our office that I mentioned a while back... we are pretty sure it was a dead squirrel. In the spring we had squirrels in the attic, we could see where they were coming in, got the opening closed up and no more squirrel noises! YAY! Well, the noises came back and then the smell arrived and I actually thought 'good, maybe that will scare them away'. I was wrong. The smell was gone after 3-4 days and the noises came back. C went in the attic to find out if he could see where they were coming in... nope, not this time. Last weekend, we bought one of those super sonic noise maker things that is supposed to mess with their heads and drive them out of our house. It's not working. However, while we were looking for them in the home improvement store, one of the guys working there told us that we needed to put some fox urine on cotton balls and that would keep them out. Yesterday, I bought fox urine. C and I decided that the best time to put it up in the attic would be after the squirrels went out for the day. This past week, around 7:15-7:30 every morning (and that is WAY early to us!) we'd hear all these scrambling noises and running around and whatnot and it would wake us up. Occasionally, C would bang/knock on the wall to try to scare them and occasionally it would work. Today at 7:13am C knocked and at 7:14am IT knocked back!!! Our eyes popped open, we looked at each other and we each said, "did you do that?" "No." C says, 'if they come down here and pee next week, we are moving. Deal?' You bet it is, Buddy!

Bad blogger.
I tried posting earlier this past week, had it all typed out and everything, but I wanted to add a picture and couldn't find the button to upload it, and then my whole post disappeared! Since it wasn't anything earth shattering, I gave up. I'm gonna try again now though, of course now you get the condensed version. :)

New Year's day we went to see the ICE! exhibit with my aunt. It was WAY cool! yes, pun intended! ;)



The poor girl was engulfed in that coat! She was a bit confused by it as well, seeing as how she's never worn one before! We enjoyed the exhibit a whole lot!

well, that's enough for now...

~til next time!

By popular demand...

First of all, I am having heart spasms from hearing that some of you don't know what a black & white is!!! It's only THE best 'cookie' out there. They are very 'New York', I guess, b/c its practically impossible to find one (let alone a good one)outside the state.



You can click on the pictures to make them bigger so you can read the recipe. I highly recommend you push your sleeves up and try this out. I do recommend a splash less than 1/4tsp of the almond extract for the white glaze.

ENJOY!

I've been cooking up a storm.

Look what I made.
and yes, it was as yummy as it looks and easier to make than it looks! Grab a glass of milk and enjoy!
