Mother's Day Magic

I enjoy Mother's Day quite a bit, particularly when the boys take me to TMP for lunch. I like cheese. I like chocolate. If I had a billion thumbs, they would all be up.

Best of all, I got to see both of their smiling faces across the table from me.

The thing about no flash in low lighting is that it gives my child that all-black-eye-devil's-spawn look that all of the demons get on Supernatural. Except in this picture, he looks more like "bored evil" rather than "evil evil"--like he's thinking "You're already past the point of an eternity wallowing in a hot pit of bikini wax, there's not much more pain I can inflict on you, so why bother?"

Oh look, here is is trying to cast a spell on me across the hot pot:

"You must will half of your chocolate cookies-and-cream fondue share to me or suffer the wrath of incessant paper airplane flying in your nice living room."

Ok, ok, I give!

That little spellbinder drives a hard bargain.

I Will Crush You With Super Kung Fu Powers

You know why the Evil Governors in Old Kung Fu Movies are so omipotent?

It's because their long white beards are really guinea pigs, that's why.

Molly may be a daddy's girl. She loves to cuddle on his chest. It's a pretty comfy place, if you ask me.

Little Slices of Heaven

Serving No. 1:

Dinner on Thursday night. Mozzarella and Roma Tomato Tartlets and New York Strip with Cilantro and Lime Butter. This was even more delicious, as it was a collaboration between Conan and me. I did the tartlets and the butter, and he--being the "manly man"--grilled the steak.

Serving No. 2:

Even though it was blistering cold yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of watching His Honor score 2 goals against a very good team in his rec soccer game. Friday, he said, "Soccer is VERY important to me," in the car on the way home from his practice. For some reason, it feels sort of like a breakthrough-he is thinking less about winning and losing and more about just trying his best.

Serving No. 3:

This is my card to my mom for the big "M Day" on Sunday. Yuzen Japanese silkscreen printed paper with flocked ribbon and floral cut-out with a perfectly green center. Yeah, that's right. I went to Paper Source today because I could. Pbbtt!

Serving No. 4:

Since I was already at it, I made myself a little journal. It's snack-size. I'm tempted to start writing in it already, but I need a central theme.
