My Chocolate Animal Crackers

This is another picture of the lake. Nothing special.

Aubree seems to have a bit of the devil in her today. To put it nicely. From the instant she woke up this morning she poured her milk on the table and played in it. Then she put the roll of toilet paper in the toilet. The second time out she actually fell asleep. Who am I to complain? I love these early morning naps she takes sometimes. They don’t keep her awake later at night like the afternoon ones do.

Aubree doesn’t usually get up until 8am and she was wide awake before mom left for work so I am wondering if maybe she just got up too early. I hope the nap puts her in a better mood.

As for todays post title, they are my chocolate animal crackers and hands off. I have a soft spot for very very bad things. Reeses cups, snickers bars, and other sugary/chocolaty things. Chocolate animal crackers are the only “cookie” I’ve found that can curb that craving for me and at a portion of the calorie cost.

What can I say? I can’t give up sugar completely.

The last two days were a little hectic work wise. It’s just trying to get everything done. Today will be a fun catch up for the little things that got knocked out of my schedule.

This darn lawn is going to mowed soon. I don’t like that. I don’t want to do it. When I mow the lawn I break out with poison ivy. Another summer of being covered in it is going to suck really bad. Actually I recently had and got over poison ivy from tearing down what I thought was a dead vine of it. I guess not. Touching it to get it off the house made me break out.

On the other hand, mowing the lawn means mom has to watch Aubree while I do it. That’s as close to alone time as I’m going to get. At least I can sweat off some of fat or something while at it. First will be picking up the dead sticks all over the front yard, though.

Soon… :(

A few years back I dug up a tulip bulb that was in the middle of our yard, I kept mowing over what was obviously a tulip plant. So I got the bulb out of the ground and planted it in our flowers. That was about 2 years ago and for the first time I now have a tulip. It’s so pretty. It’s got red and yellow in it. Almost making it orange in some spots.

The tulip isn’t the only growing plant. The tiger lily’s have sprouted, so have the other flowers. It’s spring, finally. And it’s beautiful.

I need to go get other work done. Come back Saturday for WAHM Saturday! Until later.
