Things

There are some positives to the winter. Unlimited cold storage! These were bags of ingredients for the Chopped Teen Night. It was the last of the teen nights,  at least in Michigan,  as we need to focus on move prep.

Selah and Sophia made a great team. 

Appetizer round required shrimp, mango, and feta cheese. 

The dessert round required brownies, bananas, and candy canes.

Elijah team at judging. Soooo grateful that we had 3 other parents to judge because this mama wasn't eating any of those creations 🤣

(Because I don't like shrimp, feta, or bananas. Or mint in my food. Not because they were gross. I even heard some were white good!)

Judah hung out with Clifford the big red dog and partied too hard.

The Martins were in Puerto Rico for the cold snap we had. But we managed to squeeze in a quick skating session and discussion of all things Puerto Rico between their return and our departure. 

Look at Jude there in the middle of the ice. He said it was fun, but cold. 

The shells the Martins found were incredible! I'm not a shell seeker, but I do think we might seek a little while we are there. (Just a little, because moving sea shells sounds kinda silly.)

Breakfast tacos! What a happy kid. 

Guess that big breakfast tuckered the little guy out. He didn't make it through Mass awake. And then the fight ensues over who gets to hold him. Elijah won.

Mom! That is the wrong straw. The picture says you have to have a green one!

Pre- vacation pedicure. I've been promising to take her since she she turned 13. Her last trip to the nail salon was in 2015. She picked the polish off on the drive home and I decided that was and experience I did not wish to repeat.
