Party!!!!!

Last night we went to Olivia's graduation party! It was so much fun. We did not leave till around 11:30 pm so we did not get home till around 12:30 am. I was so tired. I slept in today untill 12:30 pm! So I slept for like twelve hours! I woke up and figured out that Ab and I had not eaten a meal for 24 hours, beacuse we had just had smoothies for dinner since it was so hot! We were famished! It was kind of funny. It is also my brother's birthday today!

Finding vanilla...

It's always interesting when you bake and don't know where any of the ingredient are. Today Anna and I went to Betsy's house (baby Emily's mom) to babysit instead of her bringing her here. Betsy left a list of things to do just in case we got bored while Emily was sleeping, and one of the things was to make a dessert. I reverted to chocolate chip cookies since I didn't think I could go wrong with those. I got the butter out to soften found the flour, sugar, salt, eggs, everything...except the vanilla extract. I searched high and lo, in every cupboard, on every shelf. They had about five different almond extracts, and orange extract and a few others, but no vanilla. How can you not have vanilla? I even went down into the scary basement and looked through the freezer down there, but no vanilla extract.

I decided I'd use almond since they had an abundance of that, and then I saw that it also called for walnuts. And no, I couldn't find those either. I though we could live without the walnuts, and we'd see how the almond worked out.

Betsy happened to come home early while I was still in the midst of making the cookies, and found me both. The vanilla was in a dish soap bottle in the way back of a cupboard, and the walnuts were in the upstairs freezer!
The cookies actually turned out pretty good, besides the fact that I burned the first batch...

Randomness

We finished planting the garden. We are trying a few new things this year peas, and hot peppers. It will be fun to see how they grow in our garden. We have been babysitting for a few weeks now, it has really been a great experience, I love her so much. Well I am kind of rambling, so I guess I will bid you goodbye!

I love the sun

Before and After

Scary mug shots of the 'before'.

And after!

Chief's game

Teresa and Sarah sang the national anthem for a Syracuse Chief's game (AAA division) yesterday, it was really fun. They lost, which was sad, and almost didn't score at all! One guy got a home run in the ninth inning, so at least they got one point. The other team got three points.
"Oh say, can you see?"

Mom got popcorn and it came in a plastic hat thing, so when we had eaten all of the popcorn I put it on my head. Yes, a little nasty, but I think I'll live...
Emily and Anna. (In case you didn't know)
