floor bed + thanks + something free

Oh man oh man!  
Thanks to everyone so so much for all the awesome support, advice, and suggestions from my most recent woes.  I have tried a few of the ideas.  I got two great messages from Kieren and my sister's sister-in-law Lindsey about the Montessori idea of the floor bed.  I liked it but I need a mattress bigger than her crib mattress so I dont have to nurse her to sleep while I'm on the hardwood floor.  We both don't exactly fit, my baby is a bed hog.  I am going to keep trying that idea though.
Truly, thank you for all your lovely words.

p.s. I felt lame for charging for those awesome vintage patterns.  So now they are all posted and free here.  Have fun and make tiny animals.

Just a day/night.

I love the times that you have no clue what to make for dinner so you just start throwing random things together.


In to the crock pot I threw:

a pork loin
all of the leftover honey I had in a little bottle
the rest of my brown sugar
hot pepper sauce
Worcestershire sauce
ketchup
apple cider vinegar
a can of tomato sauce
fresh garlic
chopped onions
salt 
pepper
and
chili powder

for 4 hours on high.

Who would have thought I would have gotten this reaction...

And I quote, "Babe, babe, whoa, this is the best thing that you have ever made! Like, ever."

"RealllllyyyY?  I didn't even have a recipe."

"You are lying. What?! You better be able to get this exact combination again!"

Uh oh.  I didn't measure a thing.  Shucks.  I served this Pork concoction over brown long grain rice.  I'll have to try it again and write it down.  I have to admit, there is no feeling in the world like making something for my John and watching him enjoy it.  He makes me feel like the best wife in the world.

After dinner John and I had much studying and paper writing to do.  This is what the table of two married college students writing papers look like...

(John arranged these in the special spiral shape...so artistic.)

Before we really got going on our studies we went to Maggie Moo's Ice Cream Shoppe.




(those look like huge old people scary hands)

I had Fresh Banana Ice Cream with fudge, graham cracker crust, and cookie dough.  Glad we got the small, that stuff was so rich!

Then we came home and wrote our papers til the wee hours of the morning.   We don't remember the last time we went to bed on the same day that we woke up.  Our normal bedtime is anywhere between 1 and 3am.  We can't take it anymore.

Must.
have.
rest.

I guess we are just practicing weird and horrible sleep schedules so we will be better prepared when we have our little babies.
