Happy Wednesday!
Mine has started out rather exciting. I got clipped on my way to work by a large truck attempting to squeeze through a too tight space trying to make the light. They broke my side view mirror, real good.
Oh, and then Eric texted to let me know that Quinn just opened a soda on our bed. I knew he could get into the fridge, but a soda? Seriously? You just have to laugh at days like today. I wonder what else is going to happen… is this one of those rules of three things?
For today I have found these drool fest Strawberry-lemon crêpes – aka blintzes from Cheeky Kitchen. Yum yum, delicioso.
(Um, too much Dora I do believe…)
