An Interesting Waste of Time

Well, my roommates and I have been doing a lot of sporcling(or however you spell that). It's a site that gives you random quizzes of everything you can think of...very educational - at least that's what I tell myself when I've wasted lots of time on it. Anyways - you should check it out... www.sporcle.com. Be prepared to get stuck.

Here Comes Christmas

Well, now that Brian is married and has tons of children (haha...just two actually) we have started drawing names for Christmas. This year we drew two names each, plus we all get gifts for mum and pop. This year I got Brian and Luke. Brian was pretty easy - but I won't tell you what I got him in case he reads this. Luke however is a whole different story. His list is very specific and also - strange. For example he asked for a Bugatti Veyron(very nice, very expensive, and very impractical sports car) and t-shirts - but not just any t-shirts of course but "t-shirts that don't flare out after going through the wash and make me look slim and trim and also don't get all stiff and wrinkled at the edges." So, I laughed out loud when I read his list and still have not gotten him anything. Not cuz I don't want to, but because his specificity has challenged me to surprise him, but I haven't thought of something clever enough to do it with yet. Anyways, Christmas is coming!

Baking

So Oliver and Layla helped me use up my old bananas the other day...I think they had fun and I know Oliver liked the muffins.

Layla ate while we cooked...actually Oliver fed her:)

Layla's ONE!

Layla turned one on the 12th! I went over and babysat for about an hour for Paige and had to document the day...Oliver prefers to take pictures rather than be in them.

She is the happiest baby I've ever met and we all love her - me especially.

Crepes - Paris again?

Margeaux, Monique, and I were really missing our crepes - which we had every day in Paris. So, we decided to have a little reunion and make ham and cheese crepes for dinner, with tomato, basil and mozarella salad, and then nutella and strawberry desert crepes. They were delicious!
Oh and we invited Jill along cuz we love her! We missed Kate, but decided that maybe we should just visit her in Spain before she leaves...so that's the dream for now.

The Dunes

Last weekend we went to the Dunes. It was so nice and warm, even though the tide wasn't out as far as it usually is in the summer. Layla and Oliver loved it...
