Wife: (making eyes at me) Hey, babe. It's Friday night. The kids are in bed. You know what that means...

Me: yup. Let's get our chores done and go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Wife: oh yeah

(We high five)

Shot pointed more Northeast and more directly up showing significant red and green behind trees, especially towards lower and middle portions of the shot. Shot pointed North and slightly northwest showing green glow through the trees and red beams above it. Camera pointed more due north showing green glow through the trees lower down and faint red/pink beans above it.

I don’t understand why people hire plumbers for small repairs; it’s only taken me $40, 3 trips to Home Depot, the unnecessary replacement of one perfectly fine part, and I’m 85% sure I’ll have this figured out by next week

Me: Move your cup away from the edge of the table so you don't knock it off the table.

*8yo doesn't listen and knocks cup over a few minutes later*

8yo: Whoa, how'd you know that would happen? Are you psychic?

Me: No, I'm a mom.

Have kids so you get to hear wonderful sentences such as, "This seat is warm... because I farted in it!!"

In honor of 6yo’s love of the song Try Everything, I suggested that we open a fried food food truck called Fry Everything. She got so excited that she immediately went and created a menu and is now telling me I need to go to the city council meeting tomorrow to get a permit.

Restaurants that get me hooked on a meal but say it's "for a limited time only" are the reason I have trust issues.

Kid 1: Dad, can I...

Kid 2: no fair! Why does he get to go first? I want...

Baking Journal;

Caramel Apple pies, Scotish Shortbread, and Salted Caramel sauce.

Apologies about the pie crust, as it didn't want to cooperate and Mom's a bit embarrassed about it...

But the pies are made with Macintosh apples and Caramel sauce I made from a recipe I often use.

Did some pumpkin rolls today (cinnamon roll dough with a pumpkin and spice filling). Was a bit slow in getting the tin foil hat on so they got over browned, but that's what generous helpings of glasses is meant to cover...

Pumpkin rolls in their pan but a bit over browned The same pumpkin rolls drenched in a vanilla glaze.
