Dear World, I will crawl out of my cave soon

Sooooooo....I've been so busy at work that I've neglected everything that isn't needed to sustain life.  I've typed so much I've got wicked carpal tunnel, my hand is swollen and I can't even pick up a coffee cup because it hurt so bad.  This week, we had breakfast for dinner twice, ordered pizza, and had leftover pizza and on Friday night I was so drained and done...we had date night.  And what a date night it was!  We invited the neighbors and hooked our kids up with a babysitter and some KFC and went out for steaks & drinks.  The neighbor's brother is Joshua John Russell of the Food Network who makes fancy yummy killer cakes and so we came home and devoured that with the kids.  Shortly thereafter the kids passed out from their night of partying and I too fell asleep, or rather passed out because I perhaps had a bit to drink.

I promise to crawl out of my cave soon...until then I may just communicate with the outside world via blog and text messages...and maybe morse code.

Look! I'm a farmer now!

I grew some onions in my pantry, it's a new farming method I'm working on.  I call it "Suburban Agriculture".

Na Na Na Na Boooo Booooo

Guess what northern family? It's hot & sunny down here!!! Just wanted to brag, and type something on my bloggy blog. 

Tonight for dinner ~ Lasagna - made gluten free using brown rice noodles, and egg-free of course.  After dinner, swingset and $2 Buck Chuck :)

My Kidisms

Before I forget....Things my kids say, or have said wrong:

• Pinkle Tar = Twinkle Star
• Or the whole song..."Pinkle, Pinkle, Wittle Tar, How I wonder what you are. Upabubba World so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Pinkle, Pinkle Wittle Tar. Upabubba world so high."
• Disgusking = Disgusting

Or things said recently that I thought were cute:

• (On the airplane) Fifi: "Whose footprints are those in the clouds mommy?"
  Me: "Probably God's"
  Fifi: "Yeah, those are God's"

Dessert Vegetable

I get an organic produce delivery every other week, and this week I have a couple of butternut squash - so I'm making this! Brown Sugar, squash and onions - how can I not want that!  When Matt was out of town a few weeks ago the neighbors fed me and the kids one night, which was such an amazing gesture I still can't figure out how to thank them.  But they made this, and it was like a dessert vegetable - and I love dessert vegetables....oh lord, love.  But, I've only got enought for me, so I'm making it at lunch so I don't have to share :).
