Mommy...

I can do it myself! Now, do I push this button to take the picture? Maggie practising with the camera, Mommy loving every moment.

Baked Snap Peas

Before Mommy stepped to the sink to wash some dishes she placed the baked snap peas snack in a bowl.

She turned around when she heard, "TaDa".

The snap peas were now placed artistically in a fake cupcake bottom from Maggie's kitchen.

The bowl was no where to be found.
There was a happy little girl crunching away.

Happy Birthday John!

Big Daddy to some, Johnny to others, Ringo, Dada, Tiger, Pigeon, Pups, Bunny (yes, I am actually making that public!), Reno, Prince Charming, the list goes on. Today 'he' celebrated his 35th birthday. How you ask? With family and friends and a little game called Trivial Pursuit.
Do you think they will notice if I move this piece two spaces instead of one? The Smith women took home the grand prize. All thanks to Steph and her obscure literary knowledge and of course my knowledge of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I explained to them that we had to read that book as part of a class in High School. They gave me the silent look that usually is followed by the thoughts... hummm... what do they teach in California anyways? Anyone want to support my claim to Biff's reading list? If so, are you rational or romantic? This is so much more important than learning how many planets there are!
