hot yellow and plans

Oh. Maybe I wasnt clear. The plan is, because NZ has fallen through, we are going to do a 2 month camping trip next summer on Vancouver island - to Tofino and back. Come to think of it, maybe thats what we'll call it - the "to Tofino and back camping trip" or TTABCT for short. or maybe TAB for short-short.

Yes, we are going to need some apparatus for the roof of the car. This is still under investigation.

Going to purchase some more paints today. Some homeopathic remedies for cradle cap and colic and my looming soar throat. Little em is huge, and so strong. Holding his head up and looking around at the world. Big M is, well, 2. And has learned to say "I'm frustrated" and "Mommy, are you happy?". Two important sentences for life, I think.

This week has been good. We played with friends, did too much house work, and some good cooking. I may have to admit to doing every recipe in the Jamie Oliver cook book. The Apple pie gets really good reviews, and keeps friends coming back, even though we are lame company after 8. Making ribs tonight in the slow cooker. Slow cooker days feel like holidays because once its in the pot, I feel that first-day-of-summer feeling - I can party till 5! woo hoo!
