Tired.
We are all just tired. Hence the quiet on this here blog recently. Joe has been working frantically to finish a paper (submitted today!). I've been trying to absorb the extra 10-12 hours of work a week I've got going at work right now into my existing hectic schedule. And Nicholas, well Nicholas is apparently trying to find places to lie down and go to sleep in the mornings at school.
Nicholas has tons of new songs and there have been many a hilarious story from the past few weeks, I'm sure, but I can't remember any of them right now. Have I mentioned that I'm tired?
But what I do have, apparently, are lots of pictures of cooking--both real and pretend. Nicholas rediscovered his pretend kitchen this weekend and is a tad bit obsessed. It may have something to do with all the help he has been in the kitchen recently. With the exception of putting the pan in the toaster oven and opening the can of sauce, the kid can make English muffin pizzas by himself these days. Salad was a healthier phase of kitchen usefulness, but these are yummier. :)
(cooking while stirring a pot, how industrious)
Nicholas has also become intent on setting the table, again both the real one and his pretend one. But, alas, no pictures of that.
Love it - have to get them started young! Abby really will eat anything that she has helped to create, so that helps too! One night, when having company over, we decided to try a Deceptively Delicious Mint Chocolate Chip "Ice Cream" that used greek yogurt as a base and was just awful. We threw the whole thing out, not realizing that Abby would ask for more. For a damned week! Seriously, whatever helps with the eating side of the equation gets high marks in my book!
