Birthday brownies for breakfast

I'm pretty sure there is an unwritten rule somewhere that brownies should be eaten for breakfast on your birthday. I made them for myself this year, but hubby and Ciera claim that they will make them next year. We'll see!

It was a pretty good day, although far too hot for a 35th birthday!! The big 35 didn't bother me today, but it's been eating at me for the last few weeks. 35 means that I'm really a grown up and perhaps there are some grown up changes I need to make. We'll see about that as well.

Long day today and tomorrow starts even earlier!

mp-great day

Brownies for breakfast, softball all day and anything I want for lunch and dinner-the makings of a great day!!

mp-oops

I guess I shouldn't walk around naked with the front door open. I'm pretty sure the guy/gal that hangs pizza coupons on the door knob is pretty freaked out right now.

mp-decisions, decisions

Tackled the kitchen yesterday, dare I switch out the summer decor for fall today or should I pick up some groceries? Decisions, decisions.

I love it when the kitchen is all cleaned up-every counter, every surface. Why can't it stay like that?

Head hardly hurts at all today, although getting to sleep was still tough last night. Eventually, I will stop complaining about this darn cold! This cold hit pretty hard on Tuesday when I returned from Seattle.

Everyone overslept here except me. I had to get up early to help the oversleepers get back on track.Today's to do list: place Scholastic book order, sweep, mop, bathrooms, laundry, gym, softball practice and dinner.

mp-Wed.

Ground beef soft tacos with refried beans, cheese, and NACHO CHEESE for dinner last night.
Tonight we're having Ground beef mushroom patties with mashed potatoes and green beans.

The kids are home from school today and enjoying hanging out with friends.
Ciera has softball practice tonight.
Logan has a basketball skill evaluation tonight for the upcoming fall season (he'll be playing flag football as well).

I need to get the house partially cleaned and a suitcase packed because I am headed to visit the 3 year olds and the babes!! Tomorrow I will load a giant cooler full of milk, pick up my friend Melissa and drive for 12 hours. After a few hours of sleep I should be awakened by beautiful noises and beautiful faces. Melissa and I are both thrilled to pieces to be taking this trip. We have to drive home on Monday, but it will be worth every moment of a 24 hour round trip drive.

Ciera and Logan are staying home with their dad. Ciera has practice and a lesson scheduled over the long weekend and Logan has orientation for his flag football team. Fortunately all of our colds are much better today and we are feeling like we're almost healthy.
