I Love Cooking in the Summer

I love having time in the summer to cook.  My latest obsession is beets.  I made this lovely salad with roasted beets, kale, cranberries, almonds, and goat cheese.  The dressing was a roasted beet vinaigrette. It was delicious!

I got the recipe on Pinterest from this page:

Maybe the Easter Bunny Will Help Me

Oh, dear!  We found this letter hidden in our living room.  

Project Fluttershy: My Little Pony Costume

Jordan requested a "girlish" costume this year! After Sarge from Toy Story and Shamu these last two years, I was surprised when she chose to be one of the characters from My Little Pony.  (Though, her other choice was Mario from Super Mario Brothers.) 

After many, many conversations over which of the five ponies she should be, she picked ALL of them.  I, of course, suggested a compromise.  She eventually agreed to be Fluttershy because she LOVES animals.  

She wore the costume to a festival at my school.  That wig came off after about 5 minutes. 

She is the cutest pony ever!

Mourning our Tooth!

Jordan was so excited about losing one of her top front teeth (lost tooth #3, mind you)!  

 Now that the time has come to place it under her pillow and say goodbye, she is having trouble letting go!  Heartbreaking, yet mom and dad are finding it hard not to laugh uncontrollably.  We were asked to take some pictures to honor this lovely tooth.

I miss my tooth!  Do you think the tooth fairy will give it back?

Poor, sensitive child.
