Trouble
The rest of our holiday activities were great. More eating out, FAO Swartz, Gilmore Girls, sleeping in. This holiday marked the first Tom and I both didn't have to work, and it was glorious. We finished out the break with a little New Year's party, good friends and food a plenty. None of us made it till midnight, me included, but when the party includes a bunch of kids and babies, the night tends to end on the early side, gotta love New York for its slim pickings of babysitters.
One of the highlights of the day/night was the marathon baking I got myself into. I really have a hard time limiting myself to one or two things, especially if I am hosting something, I can thank my mom for that. I think I baked for at least 7-8 hours, without sitting down in between. Mint brownies, german chocolate brownies, nutty-chocolate bars, marshmallow coconut bars, and Tom's contribution, peanut butter rice krispie treats. I think at least a solid week of running is due for the, I ate so many I lost count, brownies I consumed in one night. Luckily the new year is here, I froze and very tightly saran wrapped the leftovers, and weight watchers is just around the corner, begging for my attendance.
The other note worthy highlight of the night was Luke mistaking the bottle of green food coloring for one of his green sippy cups. Forget the fact it was an 8th of the size, it didn't stop him. He slurped up that food dye until the bottle ran dry. The green took days to wash, but if you look close enough at our hands, green remnants are still lingering in our cuticles and nail beds.

Well green is a fantastic color.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That helps better explain the green coloring all over Luke. And just makes it that much more adorable. Normally I'm not a left over fan, but these sound delicious. Save me some. (The desserts you made not the green food coloring that Lukey drank a bottle of. I'll stick to regular colored water thank you).
luke's awesome.
and so were your treats, which i ate too many of. and continue to, thanks to that ridiculous pan-full you sent me home with. . .
Oh my goodness...how long were his teeth green?!
