Happy Valentine’s Day

No work for me today!

My employer grants employees 8 hours of paid time off to volunteer in the community. I’ll be spreading the love today throughout the town.

I do need to check voicemail and e-mail a few times throughout the day – after all, how will I save the world if I’m not on top of things?

The girls and I baked some cupcakes (red velvet cake) over the weekend.

The “no taste-red”, “pink,” and “burgundy” from our friends at Wilton were used to make them look pretty.

The coloring made them taste pretty bad and the girls would only eat the ones without the food coloring. We used Wilton’s heart shaped edible glitter to make them look awesome. Mission accomplished. They looked good, and the glitter tasted like sugar.

I learned my lesson about pink and coloring through. I’ve used other colors by Wilton in past projects and they tasted great. Can anyone shed some light on why reds and pinks taste so bad? And don’t say it’s because I can’t cook.

Grand Cayman - part 2

Here's a pretty random mix of pics,,, This guy lived at the Cayman Turtle Farm   B was scared of the presentation at Pedro St. James.  B's first sand castle. She hated the sand, but warmed up to it quickly. Trying to see the turtles at the Sea Turtle Farm. *note: her hair was crazy the entire time we were there. Cady took pictures at Pedro St. James too. Jason took me to look for crabs Can you see him? :) At this point they were ready to call it a day and head back to the beach. Crazy-haired, tired baby Paige fed the sole donkey on the island. Cady thought it was gross, and B wasn't brave enough. Sea Urchin Iguana He was mad There were tons of lizards right outside the condo.  And the plants were beautiful. I could  have spent a day scouting the island taking pics...but I didn't/couldn't...next time? Pedro St. James Pedro St. James  Pelicans. There's one that...
