Miscellaneous Monday

I probably don't even need to say anything about this, but I will point out that the "hat" on the lemur's head is actually a skirt my mom made for one of Whitney's dolls a few years ago. This animal is currently sitting on her bed and makes me laugh every time I see it.


This was the scene yesterday morning by the time I finally surfaced from bed (after sleeping in and then reading for an hour...delicious). Whitney was writing and illustrating a book for school. She said is wasn't homework, but that they ran out of time in class and needed to finish it later...um, isn't that homework?


We've had a carton of buttermilk in the fridge for a couple weeks now (since I made Denver Sheet Cake for that funeral) so I decided to make the Pioneer Woman's Buttermilk Biscuits for breakfast. You'd never guess I own 4 aprons would you?



The biscuits turned out mighty purty, and were a HUGE hit around here.


The kids each ate 6 of them! This shot is of Landon debating whether he should have another one or not...he did.


Guess what I spied today?! Whitney proclaimed today that it is "almost summer!" but I think she's a little bit ahead of herself on that one. It feels like spring today and is seriously nice outside, so nice that I had to go for a walk despite my very crappy exercise shoes and my limp. It was glorious!


While documenting the evidence of spring going on in our yard I noticed this moss-like stuff (though I'm not sure it's moss) growing on the side of our tree, it's pretty. (Notice my mailbox in the distance.)


A couple people have asked me to write about Conference kits, so here's the link to a post about them. You can email me if you have any other questions, but this should help you out. This photo is of the first one I ever made so it was rather generous, the ones that came after this were less abundant.

**Any dressed up animals at your house?
Have you noticed any signs of spring?
Have you gone for a walk lately?
Are you a messy cook?
Do you enjoy biscuits?
Will you be making Conference kits?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I did NOT make dinner by 2:00 today and am so wishing the dinner fairy would make an appearance!
