Sunday, in it’s own special way, almost killed me.
I was exhausted.
So exhausted that while I was playing with Clara
I fell asleep
right there
on the dining room floor.
(Must have been going to bed at midnight the night before, being woken up at 3:30 by my baby, then getting up at 6:30 with my other daughter, running our ward’s primary, coming home making lunch – you get the picture).
With all that going on the theme of the day ended up being FOOD.
It was Fast Sunday – so we all had food on the brain.
Are you interested to hear what was on our menu?
For lunch I made Pasta alla Norma – it looked pretty, but didn’t taste awesome. I mean, it was okay, but it wasn’t a show stopper.
That’s alright because the dessert I made… was.
(more on that later)
We grown-ups have a standing tradition -Sunday Night Nachos for dinner.
For the girls I made a “scrumptious dinner” – that is what Millie calls a meal which consists of cheese & crackers, grapes, apples, yogurt w/ strawberries atop.
I am not sure that this is actually interesting, but as I have pictures of it, I will tell you ALL about it.
Since there are photos, all of the sudden, you care! Am I right?
For dessert I made
wait for it
chocolate creme brulee
It was very, very nice.
Summer said, “Hey, Liza, get a shot of me taking one of these away.”
So I did.
While we’re on the subject of Summer. Check out what she is wearing. It is the sweetest hoodie of all times. Every mom should have a hoodie like this one.
Practical, every day wear – but feminine and lovely.
She found this winner at Antrho while I was trying on the crazy green number. I know you remember that crazy green thing – how could you forget it?! In case you are trying to forget it or block it from your memory, here it is again.
Man, I look like a demented leprechaun. That or I might get asked to help those three little munchkins in the Wizard of Oz represent the lolly pop guild. YIKERS.
While we were celebrating Summer’s awesome purchase I wanted to capture it on film and she wanted to pretend to be an Anthro model.
I think she does a pretty convincing job.
After the photo shoot Summer ran upstairs to tell the little girls some bedtime stories.
Summer is an awesome story teller – she makes the stories up as she is telling them.
(I just love the look on Khali’s face in this one- “awe, mom! you’re the greatest!”)
One of Summer’s original tales was about a girl who swallowed a cranky bean and her ensuing adventure as she tries to find a way to be happy again.
Pure awesome.
And that, my friends, was our Sunday together.
If we could send you a post card it would read,
“Having a swell time. Wishing you were here.
oxoxox,
us girls”
