OUR WEEK

This week has not been the most productive, but I've been nursing a sick child and trying to find some order in the chaos around here.
We depart for DC early Sunday morning and, while I am excited and anxious for my dad to get here, I am dealing with an unexpected sadness that seeing Washington, DC again will not be in my foreseeable future. But again, that is for another post.

So here's our week - in picspam.


Liz wrote this for me. In case you can't read it, it says "LOVE", but I think she did a perfect job.

When my kids are sick, I usually have a very difficult time getting them to eat anything, so I usually accomidate whatever hunger whims they seem to have. Liz had her heart set on a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich, so that is what I made her. She said it was delicious and gobbled it right up. I think it would excellent to toast it in the sandwich maker. Might have to try that sometime.


Iggy (top) and Thessie (bottom) thought it was playtime when I was changing the linens on the bunkbeds. So of course I had scratch their bellies. Iggy, being the baby, was trying to laydown for a catnap, but I snapped this pic of him sneaking a peek at me. Thessie, on the other hand, was going to stop at nothing to get the camera strap.
Today was the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. I am going to miss it terribly, but not nearly as much as my BFF. In honor of her birthday and a truly spectacular TV show, I created the BSG Survial Kit, complete with cookies, hot cocoa and tissues. Wanna make some of the delish cookies for yourself??

As our final hurrah before shipping off to the north, we went to the Wetland Preserve at the Discovery Center. There we witnessed a snake in the water stalking his prey (very very far away from us), geese and ducks and a few turtles. It was absolutely beautiful, but I could have done without the stench of the algae. Hopefully the tadpoles will eat the bulk of it in the coming month.

Thanks for checking out our week.
