One time I tried to make soft pretzels. It was going to be so much fun.
And doesn't it look delicious? Well then you've been fooled! I even rolled them in cinnamon and sugar. (pink for valentines) and they were AWFUL. People, this is a complicated process. Make dough, let it rise, roll each individual pretzel, let it rise again, poach in a pan of water, brush with egg and sprinkle salt and bake. Phew! And we mostly threw them out. tragic.
But for the record, I'm not always a baking failure. Did I mention I made Thanksgiving this year? Check out this turkey! My first one. a 20 pounder. Also... my pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust. Sometimes I'm really not bad at this.
Also, Adelle has reached the inconsolable, irrational fit throwing stage. It's frustrating sure, it's exhausting definitely, but that's only when it's not preposterous and therefore hilarious. yeah. I'm a terrible mother. I tried not to laugh while taking pictures of my screaming kid. I think she was mad because I tried to hold her hand to help her across the threshold of the door which she usually falls on. Life is so hard.
That last picture by the way was when she noticed I had the camera and was getting ready to cheese it up with charming smiles.
Some funny things Adelle does:
Sometimes she wakes up and announces it with a "TA DA!"
When you ask her to say Thank You she mostly says, "Muh Melmum." (you're welcome)
When Adelle sees letters she says "E - L -L-E" which is the part of spelling her name that she has memorized apparently.
Jordan took Adelle for a ride in the Miata with the top down. (Just slowly around the cul-de-sac; don't worry) and it was probably her favorite thing ever of all time. And Jordan has found a whole new reason to love his daughter.
Adelle and I keep getting sick though. this is my second consecutive Sunday with a cold. I'm done with it. No more, all right?
So there you have it. A bunch of food... Adelle throwing fits.. weather.. illness. that's it folks.
