We had our community group over again tonight, and some of the guys had a beer with supper. A favourite beer of Clay's, Black Cat Lager tastes a lot like Guinness. This explains why I'm not a huge fan.
Oh, you know, just being adorable. Pink shirt, pink toque, beautiful long hair, and an ice cream bar as big as her head. It's all in a day's work for Little Miss Bailey.
Until now, my only experience with poached eggs has been those awful Eggs Benedict that make an appearance on every brunch buffet. I am not a fan of brunch buffets, and I am not a fan of their Eggs Benedict.
Making poached eggs has been on my list of things to do for a while, and today I finally did. I don't know why I waited so long: they were delicious and so easy!
Maybe next time I'll make some proper Eggs Benedict with them.

I know the internet is a wealth of information, and there are a billion and one good recipes to be found online. However, I don't like reading my recipe from a screen. Give me a good old fashioned cookbook and I am a happy camper. That and I have a little too much technology A.D.D. to stay focused on the task at hand when I could be checking facebook between adding ingredients to the bowl. Don't overstimulate me!
This couch was supposed to be a temporary thing in our lives. Clay bought it for $100 when we were engaged - 8 years ago. It has reached a sad looking state already, with a tear on one arm, the navy fabric faded to pink in places, and a few baby spit-up stains on the cushions, but it's fine with us at this point in our lives. We'd rather let our kids jump on the couch than be the couch police...why get a nice couch that they can't touch? When they are less like walking tornadoes we will probably upgrade. But for now, we're happy with this comfy old friend.
Today felt like a groundbreaking day in this round of my 365 project...it only took me 335 days to get here.
It has been a bit of a battle for me this time around, to get my photo done everyday. Today I got home, took a load of stuff inside the house, was on my way back to the van to get the kids, and I stopped in my tracks. The snow, glittering in the late afternoon sunlight, was amazing. I ran back into the house to get the camera, thrilled that my photographic eye had finally made a real appearance after a long wait.

Look at those cheeks! He is definitely one smoochable little guy.
Oh and for the record, the big guy's cheeks are for my smooching only ;)

Three of my little Valentines, very pleased to receive a gift this morning!
All day, Bailey would tell me she was all full of her food, then proceed to ask for more chocolate 2 seconds later. As a result, today was a day of love...and whining.

Bailey found this sack in the basement. It instantly became her veil, she became Mary, and Wyatt was recruited to be Joseph. They got married, shared a kiss, Wyatt declared they both had rings, "so that's good!".
Honestly, I don't know what to do but turn my face so they hopefully don't see me, and laugh. Where do they come up with this stuff?! I love it.

A sleeping baby. What a beautiful sight.
I love his rosy cheeks, he looks like a porcelain doll.
Deacon and I fell asleep on the couch together, and my wonderful husband gently woke me to remind me I still needed a picture for today. Thanks for being the perfect subject, Deacon.
