G Monster

GMK has been really into her diapers- specifically, the ones that have Cookie Monster on them. She says, "Cookie Monster!" and then puts her hands to her mouth and pretends to gobble down cookies. She doesn't watch Sesame Street, but she saw me do the "cookie monster gobble" one time and she was hooked. So here's the card I got from her for Mother's Day.



Mother's Day was a little hectic, but thankfully, KCK did most of the work. He got up early and mowed the front lawn, took GMK to her swimming class, and then made most of the lunch for our 8-person extended family. He made beef tenderloin in a cabernet reduction over mushroom & chicken risotto.... all from scratch! We were all very impressed. I just made a salad- a very yummy salmon nicoise salad with homemade balsamic dressing. And then we all ate a ton of dessert. We got to fully break in our new kitchen table, which was nice. Normally, it looks kinda sad with just the 2 of us eating on one corner.
