<span style="font-size: large;">IT'S LEARNING TIME!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So last night I had a dream that it was the first day of school, and I forgot my classroom keys at home. I couldn't get into my room, and all my students were waiting by the door. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Does anyone else have these kinds of dreams right before the new school year? This happens to me every year, and I'm sure to have more before the first day of school, which is WEDNESDAY! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although the beginning of the year is stressful, I must admit that I LOVE setting up my classroom. I love organizing all my books and supplies. It's so fun for me to think of a new set up and a new theme.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><u>And now I must stop and take a minute to thank my mom, my mother-in-law, and my husband who helped me tremendously and put up with all my control-freak tendencies! </u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year my theme is "Reading Around the World." I included lots of maps and postcards to decorate. And I have some awesome airplane material that I'm going to add up around the windows. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I saw another teacher do this and I love the idea. The word wall is on the front white board. Since we use the smart board for everything, the white board usually just becomes a place to hang stuff. So using it for the word wall frees up a whole back bulletin board. Also I can just write the words on. I have these sticky words to start the year, but later on I can easily add new words. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here are my name tags. This is new for me too. I found the <a href="http://24-7teacher.blogspot.com/2012/06/desk-name-tags-not-distracting-clean.html">idea on pintrest</a>. I HATE that the kids pick at all the clear tape that I usually put over name tags. About two months into the year they are destroyed. So I went searching for an idea and found this. It's a name badge that usually hangs from a lanyard. I just cut off the top, put in the name tag, and then stuck velcro on the back. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't stuck them to the desks yet, but the velcro we got was heavy duty, so hopefully they will stay put. But, if I do need to switch them, the velcro will easily pull off. Also (HOPEFULLY) the kids won't be able to mess with them as much. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I found this idea via Pintrest, you can view it <a href="http://twothingsincommon.blogspot.com/2011/01/teacher-tips-on-snow-day.html">here</a>. "New Student" bags. This is helpful for those times when a new student shows up at your door and you only had about a five minute heads up! (This seems to happen a lot at my school.) But it's also helpful for new students in general. Instead of running around tons of places to find what you need, just pre-stock this at the beginning of the year, then it's ready to go! I created five extra of everything to put in these bags and I KNOW they will come in handy! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could go on and on, but really, what I want to say is that being a stay at home mom is <b>HARD WORK!</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
I love my kids and being home with them during the summers is one of the perks of being a teacher! However, my hat goes off to moms and dads who do this full time.<b> They are incredible people and should be acknowledged much more than they are. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My average work day is me in a classroom with 28 kids. Who would have ever thought that 28 kids would be easier than 2!?!?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHZsqJz0lMdQSjQTwXvmDX4y_DZ_1_q8tE7AWPlkJIp8ukvNAqlTenwUTkcLiWIF-uGBP6WrYGYv5sj1ryFY-kZ3_x0tw6Wzlb0dX9FE5lfM91hg3deFig8WzV4XkaMkDLPcYzYnNjFhJ/s1600/IMG_8155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHZsqJz0lMdQSjQTwXvmDX4y_DZ_1_q8tE7AWPlkJIp8ukvNAqlTenwUTkcLiWIF-uGBP6WrYGYv5sj1ryFY-kZ3_x0tw6Wzlb0dX9FE5lfM91hg3deFig8WzV4XkaMkDLPcYzYnNjFhJ/s640/IMG_8155.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a stay at home mom, your <b>ENTIRE DAY</b> is devoted to the kids. Depending on their ages, you can't leave them alone for one second. My daughter is a human vacuum cleaner. That girl will put every stinking little crumb in her mouth. Leaving her unattended on the floor is not an option. I'm constantly digging in her mouth, trying to fetch out foreign objects. You are truly tied down every second that the kids are awake.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you <i>are </i>lucky enough to get them to nap at the same time......<b>YES!! CELEBRATE!</b> But then snap back into reality, because this is the <b>ONLY TIME YOU HAVE </b>to get anything done. This time for me usually consists of showering (which is a luxury and sometimes I skip in order to get other stuff done), making the bed, doing the dishes (BY HAND, no dishwasher = sadness & torture), catching up on emails, homework, laundry, and cleaning up in general.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay at home moms & dads have to be the most <b>SELFLESS</b> people alive. While I'm glad to have this title for just a season, I honestly don't know if I could do it full time. Like I said, my hats are off to you!! You guys have one of the most important jobs out there!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Now because I'm still finding out about the joys and frustrations of this all important job, here are a few suggestions that have helped me while being at home with my little guys.....</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Say yes. I recently read <a href="http://www.thewiegands.com/2013/07/say-yes.html">this post </a>by one of my favorite bloggers Casey Weigand. It is <b>SO WORTH READING</b>. It has really encouraged me to slow down and not worry about having an agenda.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Change up the scenery. Get out of the house! While it can be super challenging to pack up and travel with two little ones, I find it is always worth it! We love to go the the park and the library. If it's too hot out, we'll head to <a href="http://springhillmall.com/">Springhill Mall</a> where there is a great indoor play place. Getting out of the house gives all of us a good break. Side note: if you do go the the park, plastic slides produce awesome static electricity!!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVJ5uhbsyNEuD8B3-bD_J_Jud91hxVAYYA9qyi1qfa-UoRWzqW5BrJj_5JEC1ovasuhzB09ZB2aBCoidRTvYad4pS8El6H5yz71RqBrF56odeCd77nKVENTLFPiBH-_WbkF40E0U97ojFL/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVJ5uhbsyNEuD8B3-bD_J_Jud91hxVAYYA9qyi1qfa-UoRWzqW5BrJj_5JEC1ovasuhzB09ZB2aBCoidRTvYad4pS8El6H5yz71RqBrF56odeCd77nKVENTLFPiBH-_WbkF40E0U97ojFL/s640/photo.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Get together with other moms who have kids. It's so fun to watch your little guys play with others, and it helps them learn how to play.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pudNcBsVwqDynjeORkYtUleIhFvkx4Wstt7KxOdFpVl1btM0qTsa7wyS-hC2wONYYGCv7mSqbBHmfXWYHj8THYpJpUmkAUN9vk3wVvVKa6Ph8Wl4LbW9mpJi5YdbmWVlztbPFOuAim8K/s1600/IMG_2321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pudNcBsVwqDynjeORkYtUleIhFvkx4Wstt7KxOdFpVl1btM0qTsa7wyS-hC2wONYYGCv7mSqbBHmfXWYHj8THYpJpUmkAUN9vk3wVvVKa6Ph8Wl4LbW9mpJi5YdbmWVlztbPFOuAim8K/s640/IMG_2321.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Go get ice cream! I already mentioned <a href="http://www.vansfrozencustard.com/">Van's</a> in a previous post, but seriously we love that place. Now we don't go there every day, but I would recommend once or twice a week.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Listen to podcasts, sermons, or audio books while you work. I am pretty fortunate that my kids usually do nap at the same time. When I'm working I love to put in my headphones and listen to a <a href="http://www.poplarcreek.com/wordpress/sermons/?sermon_id=148">sermon</a>. Also reading is something I love to do and wish I had more time for. AUDIO BOOKS are the answer. I also feel double the success when I'm working and listening.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So moms and dads, nannies, and other care givers....what do you do to make staying at home with the kids the BEST it can be? I'd love to hear your ideas!!</b></span><br />

You know it's summer when we visit <a href="http://www.cityofelgin.org/Facilities/Facility/Details/Festival-Park-34">Festival Park</a> in Elgin.
Kole loves running around in the fountain and getting splashed by the water.
This place is usually packed so you have to be a little careful about other
bigger kids running around. Kole gets knocked down at least once each time
we've gone, but it doesn't seem to phase him. It's also a fun place to sit and
people watch. This time I saw a kid's diaper fall off. It was all huge and
puffed up from the water, which was hilarious in itself, then the thing just
dropped and he ran around all naked! <o:p></o:p></div>

You know it's summer when chubby little legs stick through
the holes of a baby swing. We walk to the park by our house almost every single
day. It's so fun to watch these kids play together. And Kole is only a little
bit territorial of the slide. This photo and the one below it were edited using the <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2013/05/a-beautiful-mess-photo-app.html">A Beautiful Mess photo app</a>. It's free and one of my favorite apps for photos! <o:p></o:p></div>

You also know it's summer when we make frequent visits to
<a href="http://www.vansfrozencustard.com/index.html">Van's Custard</a>. Last fall they moved locations from Carpentersville to East
Dundee, which happens to be right where we live! We can walk there in about
five minutes. I used to think this was a good thing, but it's becoming kind of
dangerous. Van's is family owned and they are the nicest people who really get
to know their customers. Their custard
is delicious. Each day they have a <a href="http://www.vansfrozencustard.com/flavors-of-the-day.html">"flavor of the day"</a> some of which
include Nutella, Toasted Coconut, and Birthday Cake. They even have special
flavors like Guiness for St. Patrick's Day and Carrot Cake for Easter. <o:p></o:p></div>

To this day my husband will tell you it was this pie that won me his heart. Now there might have been a little part of me that was trying hard to win it, but nonetheless, I succeeded! But still, I too give credit to this golden gem of a pie. I think there's something magical about the way it bakes as the paper bag holds in all the apple and cinnamon flavors. And the smell as it bakes is smokey and sweet. </div>

Don't get me wrong, the first time I baked this I was checking the oven every two minutes thinking the bag would erupt in flames, but that has never happened. The oven temp is 425, so by Bradbury's rules we're safe! </div>

So in honor of father's day I baked this pie especially for my husband. We enjoyed the day cooking out with my family and then the boys left for the golf course. Jason couldn't have asked for a better day. Family, 18 holes, and brown bag apple pie. It was a good day.</div>

I'm taking this time to officially welcome myself back to the blogging world. This little space of my life is so fun for me to update, however, the challenges of life as a wife, mother, and teacher immensly got in the way. Now, I'm adding the title of STUDENT to that list! I'm back at Judson, but this time I'm here for my masters in literacy. I'm one class in and I've loved every minute of it. Call me a nerd, I know. <br />
<br />
Now I'm taking a technology class and blogging is a part of it. It's a great excuse to get me back on track. So here I am again. It will be a challenge but I'm ready. <br />

Kole had a fantastic time. He played in corn, rode a pony, (which he wasn't too sure about) and went on a tractor ride. It was a fun time had by all, especially Sonja who slept through it all. </div>

It's so crazy not working, you get to do more things. We got to spend a week in St. Louis. Jason had a work trip in Kansas City so he dropped off the kids and me at his parent's house. We enjoyed beautiful fall weather and colors, good food as always, long walks, and plain old relaxation. While we were there I rediscovered my love for friendship tea. I think I drank more of this tea than coffee. I loved it so much my mom found the recipe and I made some for myself (and a few others). It's so easy and it makes a great gift. You could decorate the jars with fabric, cute labels and twine. I didn't have the time or the stuff to do this but maybe for Christmas I will?! That might be wishful thinking but we'll see! </div>

We checked into the hospital at 7:00 pm on Wednesday night. I was induced with cervadil around 9:00 and started feeling action around 1:00 am. Sonja was born at 6:30 am. Just a few pushes and she was here! She came so fast and I was so greatful for that. We thought we'd get the whole night before to sleep and then they'd start me with pitocin in the morning, but that wasn't the case. So we were up all night having a baby! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We just can't get enough of her sweet face. She is such a great sleeper, but mom wishes she would eat a little more! It's been awesome having family and friends here to visit and help out. We are excited to begin new adventures as a family of four! </div>

We are having so much fun with this little guy! He is in love with golf. The first thing he does when he wakes up is run and find his golf clubs. He makes the funniest faces and he's such a little smartie. I'm so excited for Sonja to be here....but part of me is a little sad that our time with just him is coming to an end. We are ready for this next season, and I'm so excited for Kole to be a big brother. I think he's going to be so sweet with her. We'll find out soon, five days until my due date. </div>

Yesterday we got the sad news that the doctors couldn't find a heartbeat. Here's an update from my father-in-law about what's happening now. Please keep our family in your prayers!<br />
<br />

<br />
I need to just say how proud I am right now of my son and daughter-in-law. The doctors expect that our grandson will be stillborn sometime tomorrow. At a time when their world is crashing in, they are unshaken. Their feet are firmly planted on the Rock, their Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. While gales blow around them, and lesser foundations crumble, they are standing firm. Their countenances reflect a peace and hope that would be unfathomable to many. They are surrounded by like-minded people who are reflecting back to them the strength, courage, and encouragement that Ben and Shanika have given to them in the past. The result is a body truly working the way a body should. We live in a broken world, but the relationships that have been established in this church family are mending the tears and even now fostering the healing that must happen.<br />
<br />
We are sitting in the hospital hallway. Babies are being born in rooms all around us. They are being rolled past in a constant parade. Each one brings a genuine smile to my son’s face. He is truly joyful at the blessings received by others, because that’s who he is. I also believe that he understands the beatitude, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted.” (emphasis mine) He is experiencing communion with his Father, who knows the pain of losing his only son. He is trusting in a larger purpose and a greater love than he can imagine, even as he cares for his wife with a gentle touch and a strong heart, and reconciles the expectations he had for his son with those that God had purposed.<br />
<br />
We do not place any limits on God. He who called Lazurus from the dead, and raised the Centurion’s daughter still lives and rules. Our prayer is for God to take this cup from us, but not our will, but His be done. Thank you to all who are praying. We believe that God hears and answers with infinite mercy and wisdom. Continue to uphold Shanika, Ben and Judah James, that all them, through the lives God has ordained, will bring glory and honor to him, and light to a dark world.<br />
<br />
Trusting in Him,<br />

It's 7-11 today! I love having the same anniversary as free slurpee day! Not that we have ever actually gone to 7-11 and gotten a free slurpee, but whatever, it's cool and you know it. <br />
<br />
Last year, I kinda outdid myself and wrote this long, <a href="http://jeanalepaperjam.blogspot.com/2011/07/two-years-together-where-weve-been.html">thoughtful post</a> about our marriage and the great things about it. I read it again today and still really liked it! And I'm happy to say I still really like my husband! He's just about the best ever. There are so many things I love about that man.<br />

I love that every morning of the school year you would wake up with me and make coffee and put my English muffin in the toaster. You'd even put peanut butter and jelly on it too. Some days you even made me scrambled eggs. You could have just kept sleeping while I got ready, but you never did. Thanks for doing that babe! August will be here again soon...just FYI.<br />

I love how you play with Kole. And even though all Kole's injuries (bloody noses, goose eggs and bumped heads) have come from playing with you, I just feel like that's the way it's supposed to be. I love how you play chase with him and hold him upside down and throw him on the couch. I love the way he laughs when you scare him or growl at him. He only laughs like that when you're around. I love the way Kole screams "dadin!" whenever he sees you, or even when he sees a picture of you on the fridge. I just think you are such a great dad, and I can't wait to see how you will be with our little girl!<br />

I really want to thank you for how you take care of our household. I'm so thankful that you are so organized. You pay all our bills, and deal with annoying internet problems, and fix the computers. You put gas in the car and always take out the garbage. You even do the dishes and I am in love with your love of vacuuming; you even get out the hose and vacuum all the corners and underneath the cabinets and other sneaky places where dirt could so easily hide. I'd just leave it there and pretend like it wasn't there, but not you. I love how you never get mad at me (or at least you don't show it) for leaving ridiculous amounts of garbage in the side compartments of the car. You just clean it out while you're vacuuming out the car. Then you wipe down the inside of the car and take it through the carwash. You just like things to be clean and I am more than okay with that. <br />

I just love you. I love your ambition and your drive and how you are never satisfied with things that are just okay. You are always wanting to do better. That 40 you shot yesterday could have so easily been a 38 or 39. I love your ideas and your creativity. I love that you get an idea and you actually do it. You work hard, even at things you don't exactly like doing. You never leave a job unfinished and you do things right the first time, even if it takes you longer. Thanks for never being so stubborn that you don't listen to me. You take my suggestions to heart and you let me tell you that a 40 is still a really good score. <br />

Thanks for leading our family and for taking us to church. Thanks for setting such a great example in the way you serve others. Thanks for not having everything figured out and for not knowing all the answers. It's so much more fun that way because then I get to try and figure them out with you. Thanks for sharing your heart with me and for being so willing to learn and for admitting there are some things that we need to work on and some areas we need to grow in. Thanks for choosing me and for loving me. Thanks for giving me a whole extra family who I love so much and such a cute son and now a new baby girl! Life with you is exactly perfect for who I am and what I need in order to be who Christ made me to be. I have loved these three years and I can't wait for more. <br />

This past week I've been living the dream. No work and all play. Well I guess taking care of an almost one-year-old boy is a lot of work, but it's been so fun. I have loved snuggling up with him in the mornings and chasing him around the house on all fours. He is learning so many new things and I wish I could see just what his little mind is thinking. I can't believe that next week he'll be one! It's crazy how fast that year flew by. So before I start blubbering here, I better change the subject.<br />
<br />
Spring break has been awesome, too short as always, but full of family, and relaxation. We started off with a trip to St. Louis and enjoyed the beautiful weather and spending time with our loved ones. We took walks, played frisbee golf, ate delicious food, and just relaxed.<br />
<br />
All these beautiful pictures were taken by our brother-in-law Alex, who is starting a photography business in St. Louis. Check out more of his talent at <a href="http://alexjoelphotography.com/">alexjoelphotography.com</a><br />

When we got home my sister Kasey moved in with us to stay for three weeks while she finishes up a class at Judson. It's always fun to have Tia around! We got to visit with cousins and see my mom and enjoy some dinners out.<br />
<br />
Throughout the week Jason and I read The Hunger Games and got way into it. We loved the book and went for a date night to see the movie. And on Friday I baked a cake. Having time to do that was refreshing. I felt like I was back up in our tiny upstairs apartment where I used to bake so much. I miss the big kitchen window up there and all the natural light it lets in. But still, it felt really good to bake. Of course this recipe is from my new<a href="http://joythebaker.com/"> Joy the Baker</a> cookbook. I'm still enjoying that so much. I've made three recipes from it so far and can't wait to try out more.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If I have to grade one more stinkin' paper I'm going to scream. But the reality is I have to grade lots more papers, so it might get a little noisy in here. But not really cause I'm not like that.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Did I mention that I can't wait for spring break? Or any kind of break? That's what I'm doing now...taking one. Jason left me an empty house this afternoon. He took Kole and went to BWW with the guys and then they went to Woodfield. Am I sure he went with the guys? Yeah okay. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Anyways it's so weird to have an empty house. I keep thinking Kole is going to wake up and start crying any minute. But he's not here. So I'm left to my own devices which this afternoon have included peppermint tea, thin mint girl scout cookies, chocolate milk, Kashi cereal, and salt & vinegar Pringles. Can you tell that I'm preggo? </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At this moment I want to quit grading and go get my new, extraordinarily wonderful, bursting with excitement book of riches and magic. This is also known as my Joy the Baker cookbook that arrived in the mail yesterday. Can you tell that I'm excited? It would only take me about 20 minutes to throw on my apron and start whipping up some delicious treat. But I know once I start there is no stopping me...and today I just don't have that much time. Sad.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This morning I DID make Joy's orange strawberry almond pancakes with an orange maple glaze. Kole ate three of them!! You don't need to know how many I ate. But they were delightful. I wish every morning could be a pancake morning. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well here are some other cooking/baking endeavors I've been up to lately. The reality is, I don't really have time to put up all these recipes, so if something looks good, let me know and I'll shoot the recipe your way. </span><br />

It was so fun to watch Kole around our families. He also had a really great time tearing into wrapping paper and pulling ornaments off the tree. When we got home fro St. Louis we even found two of mom and dad's ornaments in his diaper bag! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

My mom's birthday was November 2nd. She is the greatest and I think she loved speeding her birthday watching Kole. Jason's birthday also passed. His parents came down for the weekend and we had such a great time with them. We ate a lot, which I always love. We also talked a lot and went on a nice walk while the boys played frisbee golf. <br />

The all anticipated date 11/11/11 has come and gone. No big deal for me, but my students thought it was pretty much the coolest thing ever and they were writing the date any chance they got. <br />
<br />
Report cards are done and turned in. Huge sigh of relief. And I've already had TWO excuses to make this pie. It's seriously the best and easiest pumpkin pie I've made. It's a spin on the traditional, a whole lot more creamy and best of all it's no bake! (Well except for the crust). <br />
<br />
I guess I forgot to take a picture of how this pie looks when it's all finished. You will just have to make it and see for yourself!!<br />
<br />
I found the recipe on <a href="http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/2010/11/almost-no-bake-pumpkin-cream-pie-with-maple-whipped-cream/">Joy the Baker</a>. I wish I knew her so we could be best friends. <br />

November is hours away and by the time you are reading this it will be here. One of the best things about October is my sister's birthday. It was waaaayy back on October 7th but remember it's still October so I have every right to blog about it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So as many of you know my sister is quite fantastic. She is beautiful and fun and always makes me laugh. We sported Barbie life jackets together, hot stuff. And in this picture below, Kase is pissed because the waves came up and got her feet all wet. It's a classic, always makes me laugh.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I like Kasey for many reasons. One of these reasons is that she is the very person who introduced me to Nutella. Yes, I'm obsessed with Nutella. Kasey taught me all about it and how to eat it on graham crackers. It's seriously the best snack ever.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So for my little sister's birthday I decided to make her a Nutella cake. Then things got really busy and my Nutella cake turned into Nutella brownies. But still, they were really good. And I made Nutella frosting from heavy whipping cream. That was a nice little finishing touch.</span><br />
