Easter at home

Was able to sneak home for the Easter weekend, my first venture back east in four months. It was absolutely lovely to be home, see everyone and enjoy some homemade deliciousness.

Some shots from the weekend.

Journalism Diet

Brain food while we work on projects, Fritos and Coke. 

I suspect this is another win for j-school.

Pot, Kettle

My roommate likes to give me tips on healthy eating, namely telling me what I am eating, I shouldn't be.

Including my penchant for chocolate milk

Got back from break and found this.

Count it, four empty chocolate milk containers.

(plus two more in the fridge)

Granted it was soy chocolate.

Nonetheless.

She's been barred from telling me against chocolate milk.

Winter-time Stoppers

Over breakfast with my grandparents, the little coffee shop put stickers on the opening to stop spillage.

I thought they were cute.

Holiday break is ...



Naps on the couches

Holiday baking and holiday dish cleaning

Candy. Lots and lots of candy



Bouncing around the kitchen with the very old dog underneath your feet.



Seasons Greetings from the Burrow

Just some shots from life back at the Burrow.

Made about 20 so oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Took the photo, went to put the camera away and only two were still on the pan. Three months away and I've forgotten how quickly food goes in the Burrow.
(Read: the boys snatched up about 18 cookies between them in under five minutes)

 

At some point, when we, the kids, got old enough that mom trusted we wouldn't smash nice decorations, she bought a bunch of nice glass ornaments.
Some of those ornaments happen to be Santa heads. Which strikes me as odd.



Dad at work. I think he's a cool guy.



Non-Santa head ornaments, just to prove not all of them are Santa heads.



Happy Holidays

Photo of the Day: Murphy's lunch

That's a Big Gulp of Gatorade and Cheez-its. How j-students do lunch.
