Lauren's first date

The other day my friend Emily invited Lauren and I over for a playdate (with her son Ethan). Emily set up a little table for the two of them to eat at for dinner. It was so adorable. We had a great time. We played ring around the rosie and did the Hokie Pokie with Elmo. Lauren loved it. When we went to leave Ethan gave Lauren a hug and as I turned my head I caught Ethan giving Lauren a kiss. So not only did she have her first dinner date she also had her first kiss. Thank you Emily for having us over.

One other story I wanted to share was from the other day. I was given some starter (for making bread) from a friend of mine. Now if anyone knows me they know I am not a baker. I had to hit the grocery store for most of the items we needed (not to mention I had no idea what baking soda was)and as the final day to make the bread came along and I had everything in the bowl I realized I didn't even have enough eggs. The kitchen was a distaster. I had Lauren help me add each ingredient and help with the stirring. At one point she accidently threw the spoon across the kitchen with batter flying everywhere. It just made me laught to think what people would think if they were flies on the wall watching Lauren and I make the bread. Luckily the receipe calls for so much sugar that no matter what you do it still tastes good in the end!
