If there was one unifying factor to our week, it was PJ's! We spent almost every morning this week relaxing in our jammies!! Wow... after two weeks of either camping, being at camp or hosting family and visiting the horse camp, and ballet camp .... we were all ready to be home and relax for a while!!
Another fun development was the arrival of Thor and Anika's (and Kelly and Jacob's) wedding outfits (Bethany's October wedding).
I think it's kosher to show Anika in her dress for the wedding... I wouldn't show Bethany's dress of course... even if I did have a picture... Anyway -- Anika had fun trying it on for size, and practicing! It will probably have to be shortened just a couple of inches, but otherwise it fits pretty well.
We're back in Mojito season at our home... Love those minty-lime cocktails!! If anyone forgot the recipe since last summer - here it is:(per drink)
1/2 lime, juiced
1 Tbs. sugar
8-10 mint leaves
2 oz. rum (optional -- just as good without it)
1/2 glass of ice
1/2 can of lemon-lime soda
Muddle the mint leaves in the sugar (squish real hard with a wooden spoon handle, or whatever), add lime juice and rum. Stir. Put ice in a serving glass, pour mixture over ice, trying not to add the crushed mint leaves. I "rinse" the sugar and flavor out of the mixing bowl/tumbler with the soda before I pour it into the serving glass... but you can just add the soda right to the serving glass too. Enjoy!!
Thor is on his last few days away from home... he will be gone a full two weeks when he gets back Thursday night. It's been a quiet home these past days without him... and I still feel like I'm missing something everytime I go out... one kids really throws a mom off!! But he's having a wonderful time with his uncles and cousins "back east" (Rosholt).
