Daddy-less weekend
Just me and the kiddos this weekend. I've got a wicked cold, but other than that things have been going well. Pari was thrilled that I let her chop vegetables last night, but it didn't make her any more willing to eat gumbo. Kiyan had no such qualms, and Pari ate spanikopita instead. Ha! Tricked into eating veggies anyway.
The car had to go to the shop for a check engine light, but it turned out to be nothing. Yay.
Had strawberry shortcakes for lunch. Made them with no added sugar (the cakes have enough) and yogurt instead of whipped cream for those of us that tolerate dairy. It almost counts as healthy. Right now we're making peanut butter cookies, which don't at all count as healthy, but I like doing things with the kids in the kitchen. Tonight we make pizza.
And the plans for going on a walk were quashed by both rain and snow. Could someone please inform the weather that we've had more than enough of it this year?
And on book news, I've submitted my third chapter. That's the first book milestone, and hopefully they like what I'm doing with it, and I can clean it up into something fit for publication. Otherwise, they have the option of ending the contract right now.
