Binge

We grilled again this weekend.  Teriyaki chicken skewers.  Damon thinks I'm prone to binging and that he'll be stuck making some kabob or another every weekend for the rest of the summer.  Would that be so bad?

I read this and decided to make a refreshing Arnold Palmer with Pomegranate Tea and Blueberry Lemonade.  Bomb.

Frosting Time

One of my favorite blogs posted yesterday about a day for cake.
I like a good cake, but for me it's really about the frosting.
Buttercream is my favorite, both for its sugary delectable-ness and simplicity of making.  So I was inspired to whip up a small batch.

I put it on graham crackers for a snack for the kids, but I mostly just lick it off my finger :P

Melting

I swear this outfit looked so refreshing and crisp when I put it on.
Fast-forward 9hrs, I had Emberly snap a picture of me and wow.  My makeup's melted and I look just... disheveled!  You'll just have to take my word for what I looked like when the day started.  Before the heat and before the chasing of the littles!

What was I thinking

The other day it was still early in the afternoon when Damon left and I was at a loss as to what to do with the munchkins.  Town Square popped into mind with its playground and splash pad.  Off we went.  I decided, Bauer could get even more exercise if I made him walk instead of using the stroller.
I wasn't high, really.  But maybe I had sun stroke?
It was fine at first.  He walked holding my hand and following my directions and just being a cute little almost-two-year-old.  But we went in H&M and he realized that he could dance to the music.  Okay fine.  But then he wanted to hop off.  And then he saw his sister looking at jewelery and trying on hats and he wanted to touch stuff too.  And then when I tried to calmly instruct him, he would laugh maniacally and attempt to run away.
It was an experience.  I'm sure he enjoyed it much more than I.
But hey, I did get a picture of my other cutie pie smoochy wookems.

Snow White

I kind of loathe Kristen Stewart.  Her perpetually open mouth and weird noises and expressions like she just forgot the English words for what she wanted to say.  And that's why I haven't seen the remaining Twilight movies.
But I like Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron and it looked interesting so we went to see Snow White and the Hunstman.
It had such potential!  It was great for the first hour and a half or so.  Then it was like they realized the movie was getting long and just barreled toward the end.  Once she fell into the enchanted sleep, the movie felt rushed and awkward.
While I wasn't bothered as much as I thought I would be by Kristen, I think Emma Watson could've portrayed the character better.  Dye her hair black and voila, Snow White.

Feels like summer!

Fresh fruit, grilling and swim suits.

Again

Again with the yellow jeans.
