it's delightful...it's delicious...it's dawesome

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”
