We got some cantaloupe the other day since it was on sale and I couldn't help but be amazed by the bright green skin and orange flesh as we cut into the melon. I had to snap some pictures of it before we ate them. And yes, they were as delicious as they look.
I am very late in making this post, but better late than never right? We recently celebrated Sarah’s birthday, we spent most of the week celebrating starting with having her cousin Bob over. The girls absolutely love having him over. Sarah’s one special request this year was to have me make a chocolate hazelnut torte, it came out pretty well even though I almost burnt down the house roasting the hazelnuts, luckily they were mostly salvageable and only slightly overly toasted. My parents also invited us over on the day of Sarah’s birthday and we enjoyed spending time with them and my sister’s family. Thank you everyone for helping us celebrate Sarah’s birthday!
As luck and Sarah would have it I do not have any pictures of the birthday girl for her birthday!
With camera phones, digital camera's, and everything else these days you would think you would always have a camera handy to capture those magical moments that you experience with your kids. Well Sarah missed one the other day when she paused with the girls to ask a team of firefighters at Albertsons where the truck was so she could show it to Adrianna (who loves firefighters, fire trucks, fire stations, etc.) One of the firefighter's didn't just show her the truck but he let Adrianna get in, turn on the lights, put on a suit, pretend to drive, and he let her spray the fire hose!!! She was thrilled! Adrianna called me afterwords and said "Daddy! I put out a fire."
After all that Sarah did not have a camera to photograph the moment, but I am sure Adrianna will enjoy that memory for a while!
It is important to learn young to be happy. Alicia latest saying is "I Happy", which is a wonderful thing to hear from a little one, especially because she means it. One thing that makes both of our girls very happy is Chocolate. And with a cake like the one Sarah made today who wouldn't be happy! I think we will call this one "Death by Chocolate Candy Cake". It is a chocolate cake with mini chocolate chips in it, topped with a decadent chocolate frosting, the sides are kit-cat bars and it is topped with M&M's. Amazingly delicious! Below is the girls reaction!
