The Evening Post

So I stupidly drank coffee at around 6pm. I know I will regret this when 2am rolls around and I am still wide awake but, I couldn't help it! In a weak moment I buckled under my sweet tooth and bought some strawberry cheesecake danish (drool). It is my favorite dessert. And one cannot eat danish without coffee! Plus I had been craving coffee all day. JUST LOOK... how can anyone resist this?!

I can see the sparks emulating from peoples' drool-ridden keyboards now. I've been pretty good this pregnancy. I've been denying myself many odd cravings (mostly for fast food). But, I said out loud to Noah in the grocery store "mommy's getting some danish... know why? because she's pregnant and she wants some and she can eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants". This may not be the truest of true statements, but I think it's pretty accurate. The caffeine and sugar are surging through my veins and I am full of nothing but happiness. Here's another wonderful thing no one in their right mind could resist. JUST LOOK at him! Isn't he the most adorable child you've ever seen (besides your own, you biased mommies)?!

With his little OU Sooners hat and OSU buckeyes shirt, posing all cute, ears sticking out because the hat's too big, bruises and scars and scrapes everywhere. That's my baby :) Can you believe some people pass this child and don't smile! What is wrong with people?! Noah and I took late naps from 3-5pm so now we're set back an hour or 2 from the normal bedtime. I think because we're both so full of energy we're going to go out somewhere. Noah's requesting to see ducks, which might be OK at such a late hour. I just don't know if I'm ready for that ghetto duck park again yet. The kids' section of a bookstore might be nice. Noah needs some new books anyway.

My bad craving today was Mexican food and I talked Mark into going to our favorite Mexican restaurant for a last horah before Ember arrives :)(We NEVER go out to eat!)So it was a nice treat and Ava even ate chips & salsa!
My other craving is rocky road ice cream....mmmmm.That danish does look good though!!

Drool is right... the only problem I see with that photo of the danish is that the slice is waaaay too small! Or maybe that's just the part you didn't eat? Anything cheesecakey is my weakness...

Anybody who passes by Noah and doesn't smile must be distracted by a hemorrhoid or something because he's beyond cute. I hope if you went to the duck park that the stray hats left you alone!

Brit- That's so greta you guys got to go out! We hardly ever go out either. It's difficult with babies, they just don't cooperate.

Pam- That was just my first piece. I had 2 more :P LOL I will watch out for the stray hats!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
