7 Quick Takes Friday - February 24, 2012



My Week In Pictures (+ 1 Video)

We hosted a Dungeons & Dragons game last weekend that went later than intended. Someone was pretty tuckered out afterwards.

Violet has been potty-training herself. I know, it's amazing. After two tough cookies I'm about due for an easy one! She's very enthusiastic about ripping off her diaper and sitting on the potty (so much so that I finally bought her pull-ups), and she wants to wear underwear so bad that she stole her brother's Spiderman underpants (and put them on over her tights)! She's getting her own set of big-girl underwear for her birthday on March 5.

Love that smile.

Elanor and her best friend, her cousin Candyce. They're only 4 months apart and they're constantly asking to see each other or have a sleepover.

One of my co-workers is getting married tomorrow, and we threw her a bridal shower at the office. This was the cake. It was supposed to say "Best Wishes." We spent the entire party telling her that she could have a wish, but only ONE. (And yes, I did submit this to CakeWrecks.com)!

I made blueberry muffins from scratch last weekend and they turned out wonderfully. Yum! Here's the recipe I used.

Here's a short video I took of my grandma Violet making Gabriel smile. So cute! Please ignore the obnoxious Diego DVD in the background.

  1. Your baby is so cute! I love how calm he is! And I love to see babies and old people together (please don't tell your grandma I called her an old person!), there is just something about the young and the old together.
