Art Work

Cooper loves to draw and is always giving me pictures.  This is a picture he drew of me. I'm pretty sure that's what I look like when I wake up.  : )

Truck Load of Lemons

This morning I was given a big ol' truck load of lemons.  I know the saying is that I should make lemonade and yada yada yada.... But I'm really not in the mood for lemonade today.  I'd like to take the lemons and throw them back at the people who gave them to me.

 But instead, I'll take the mature aproach and.....

I guess I'll make Lemon Bars.

I love this recipe!

Crust
2 Cups Flour
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Butter (use the real stuff!)

Cut in butter with pastry knife or fork until clings together. Place in 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly brown.

Beat Together:
4 Beaten Eggs
1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Flour
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

Pour over crust and bake for again for 25 minutes.  Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.  Cool completely before serving.


Seriously though... It's been a rough morning!!!
Hopefully eating a giant lemon bar will make me feel better.  : )

Kindergarten Blues

Cooper is officially signed up for Kindergarten in the fall and I'm not sure how I feel about it.  I'm still in denial that my baby is old enough to go to school every day. 

He is growing up way too fast!

Pet Peeve of the Day...

Sorry, just gotta get this one out....

Why in the world do some people think they are so important that they don't need to park in the regular parking lot at Macey's?  Seriously, (man in large truck, I'm talking to you!) you are not entitled to park in the fire lane in front of the store just because you have a loud, obnoxious truck!  If anyone should be able to park there, it should be the poor pregnant lady with 6 kids to unload from her mini-van who had to park at the back of the lot. 

People who think they are "special" and don't have to follow the rules Drive.   Me.   Nuts!

I love this video!
