Lovely dessert

Today was one of those days where you just need to have a pretty dessert after putting the kids to bed. It was a nice day and all, the kids weren't any more unruly than they usually are. I just wanted to indulge in something sweet and pretty. So we broke out the fancy glass ice cream dishes, raspberry sherbet, and sprinkles.

Doesn't that just make you want to smile?

Congrats on the big job & move. Moving is hard, but at least it is a step forward, right?
And, if they don't ever fix your sink- oh-well- you won't have to deal with it much longer.; November 8, 2008 at 11:50 PM

Michelle said...: That really does look yummy! We splurged on some chocolate sprinkles for banana splits the other day, and I have had a bowl of icecream with microwave hot fudge, sprinkles, and cool whip almost every day since! I think my pants shrunk in the wash...; November 11, 2008 at 10:28 PM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
