Work it weekend!

[klong11]

Why is it taking so long for mh to hang 2 small pieces of drywall? This is ridiculous.

[yummeecookee]

Hi everyone. I'm counting down the minutes til 4pm, when I can take my kids over to a bday party they were invited to. They are driving me wild and I feel so exhausted for no particular reason.
Mh is going to watch the McGregor/mayweather fight tonight w some friends so I plan to shovel popcorn in my face and watch a movie.

[yummeecookee]

Way to go on the weight loss wineallthetime!

And happy bday to baby X cagoldi! Is it just me or do you also feel like baby #2's milestones come much quicker?

[joelies]

Yes yummeecookee! I felt like Colin was a baby far longer than Chase was. Everything goes so much faster the second time around!

We've raided the neighbours apple tree and B has instructed me to 'make the BEST APPLE PIE EVER' as he headed to the spray park with MH. I smile and nod but I've never made a pie, anyone have a great pie filling recipe they love? Please share.

You could do a Dutch apple pie!

I don't use a recipe, but the link below is more or less how I make one ☺️.

Oh gawd, there are different pies based on culture? I'm screwed 😉

Jk...it looks amazing and i'll start a shopping list and hopefully make it tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to X! cagoldi

Well deserved! wineallthetime

vino I'm more of a cobbler/crisp person. It's pretty easy to make. If you want to go that route let me know and I'll find the recipe for the last one I made. It was delicious. I think I had everything I needed in my pantry, too.

[lahdeedah]

No girls lunch today. Oh well.

MH and M just left to go to the stadium for practice so it's just me and the baby for a few hours. I just put him down for a nap and I hope he takes a long one. I have Daredevil on Netflix. I never finished the second season and I'm finally close to the end.

[melaniesue]

lahdeedah I would love the recipe please!

Me too! I love a fruit crumble. You could also do an apple strudel. My mom used to make one with crescent rolls that was so easy and tasty.

[lahdeedah]

I used this recipe. It's simple and delicious. I haven't tried it with the caramel sauce, but one day I will.

eta: I think it was this recipe that I tried with blueberries and it came out just as good. Peaches would probably come out great.

Here is my dear Aunt Smith's secret family recipe:

I am impressed with all you fruit-pie makers. My key lime pie is excellent and I've made a peach cobbler that turned out well, but never a fruit pie.

[lfig]

Everything okay? Shots from the news look horrible

My house is fine. There's flooding in some parts of the city. It will depend on which path the storm takes as to how much worse it might get.

So much quicker!

tallb let's hope that the hard part is over, but I suspect that is just wishful thinking.

klong11 I made some mini cinnamon rolls.

[lfig]

Thanks to several references to cinnamon rolls, I have procured some for breakfast tomorrow.

Happy birthday to X cagoldi! I hope he's had a fun day

[guster]

Happy 1st Birthday to X! It's incredible how quickly it goes with the second baby.

[guster]

There was bakery string (you know that red and white twine) from the bread we bought at the farmers market. I immediately tied it up and started a cats cradle. I presented my hands to mh who looked at me dumbfounded. He knew nothing of it and couldn't follow my directions to play. I was genuinely disappointed.

[cagoldi]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for my X Man.

Here's a pic of him having his first pizza (which he could not get enough of, he kept doing his sign language for "more" and "food").

Of course, in the grand tradition of smash cakes (or cupcakes, as it were), he just mushed it up.

ETA: this is not my hideous furniture. We're at FIL's house.

Happy birthday X!!!!

[Sunny41]

Happy birthday X! I hope he had a wonderful day cagoldi

[Sunny41]

So E is determined to grow his hair out like his sister and mom. Well today we were out at lunch and he was paying attention to everything other than his food. The old couple at the next table thought it was cute and the guy came over and have him a $ bill. Them his wife asked E his name and was confused when I explained he was a boy. He was in gender neutral clothing and no manbun. I half wondered if they wanted the $ back after finding out he was a boy. I couldn't tell if the old guy was creepy stranger or just creepy.

[slenle]

I survived the slip n slide. No broken bones but my headache is back. Although that could be due to the copious amounts of spiked seltzer consumed in tippy cup (I dont drink beer). I'm home and in bed now and looking forward to another good night of sleep.

I need to find a dress for my dressy casual work event. I decided yesterday that I was going to wear a dress I wore to my grandparents anniversary but I tried it on today and could zip it up. I haven't worn it in 6 years. Any ideas?
