Sophie!

Here I am with Sophie at the Bird Festival yesterday. I can't wait until I can bring her home. Only $450 left! Isn't she just adorable? 

Go Fast Daddy!

So I was watching a video clip of a race car who had a head on collision with a farmer http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1152444293/Tractor_On_Road_At_Rally_Race. The girls looked at the screen and starting screaming, "Go Fast Daddy!" LOL can you tell who drives the racing game perhaps a bit to much in front of the girls?

And another pic

Here's the back I'm not sure if you can really see how vibrant he or she is but it's the best I've got. 

Guess what followed me home

So ok not really they didn't but it sounded cute anyways. I haven't gotten a good picture yet because I'm just starting to hand tame them. But I just thought they were so adorable. The yellow one is completely yellow which I have never seen before and the blue one has a very vibrant teal back. Sorry honey for bringing home more birds without permission but you love me anyways! ; - ) Forgot to add that we think the blue one (they haven't been named yet) is a male and the yellow is a female.

Adaptability

That is what dinner was all about. As I am currently sans most of kitchen gear I had to be very creative with the way that I cooked dinner.
First searching the cupboards for dinner - chili sounds good but no such luck there's still no can opener. Trying again I happen upon a box of mac and cheese so we finally have a winner. Using my 8 x 8 Pyrex square I cooked the noodles in the microwave. Then next step drain the noodles - umm problem there I don't have a colander either.... Hmm I have a big slotted pancake turner that'll work. Using one of the ginormus plastic cups I scooped then strained the noodles into the cup so I could empty the the Pyrex. Ok so next step return noodles to dish and then add milk and butter. No measuring spoons - no problem I'll just guesstimate. And voila it's done. My creative way to try and have something different then a PBJ or cereal.
Thank you and sorry for everyone who got this far - it's not been the best of days and honestly being able to cook dinner was the highlight.

Mom's birthday trip

Mom really had a great time in Leavenworth a cute little Bavarian town in Washington state. The bottom picture is a painting that she actually bought while there for her birthday.
