and I am VERY very scared.
Today I made blondies. I have never made these before but YUM, yum, YUM. Instead of pure chocolate for brownies, you add walnuts and chocolate chips, some flour sugar and vanilla, bake them for 45 minutes and out comes this hybrid chocolate chip cookie/ brownie concoction that is the yummiest.
I made them with Norah this morning while Harvey was sleeping. She whisked the batter for me and them licked the spoon.
Harvey woke up in time to enjoy them after lunch. He loved them. After finishing one, he grunted and pointed to another and another. This is fast becoming a very successful form of communicating for him--pointing and whining until he gets the object he desires.
Moving on, today Norah found my knitting--the picot edging on a dress I am making for her. She grabbed it and holding onto the wire of the circular needles, she said, "This is a dinosaur!" and, after looking for only a moment, I realized that it did rather look like a dinosaur. Then, she held the string above her head and said it was an umbrella. Wow. WOW. wow. Brian swears that their imaginations would flourish if we took away their toys and I do wonder about this. I really wonder.

Oh gawd... Does that ever sound yummy. This brownie loves her a blondie.
Don't be scared. You've always put your all into anything you've done (teaching, traveling, Spanish, etc.), so of course you're being uber-domestic. You're at home!!
