Gorgeous days

I have to confess that, despite being a born-and-raised Washingtonian, I despise winters here. The gray and rainy days really get to me, and I find myself almost craving sunshine. So, imagine my delight in the past few days here -- clear, cold and sunny! I don't care about cold, as long as I can feel the sun on my face. I went up to Wiser Lake yesterday and snapped some photos of Mt. Baker...enjoy.

Tasty Treats

I don't often cook treats with the kids. We all pitch in to make dinners, and the girls are awesome at making breakfast -- usually while I'm still in bed! (I've trained them well :)) But I usually don't have the time or energy to do extras, and honestly, we don't need a lot of sweets around. But, we decided to try a new thing -- Frozen Chocolate Covered Banana Slices. They were so easy, and so yummy! We have the leftovers in a freezer bag. I think that'll be my treat later...after the kids go to bed!

You don't want pictures....

Just a quick post to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The girls and I celebrated by being up close and personal with the porcelain throne -- yep, we rang in the new year with the stomach flu. Today it had run it's course (no pun intended), and we feasted on popsicles, Gatorade, toast, applesauce, and chicken noodle soup. Big thanks to Beth, Dorene, and Kelly for delivering the necessary groceries!
