Just Like Mom's Kitchen

I finally got my "friends and family pictures" corkboard hung in the kitchen. I am excited to have it up, and it makes me smile whenever I walk into the kitchen. :) As you can see, we have room to grow, so feel free to send us fun pictures. :)


I also have pictures of a yummy cake we had. Matt was busy and stressed with work, so on one of my days off the beginning of last week, I decided to make a cake. It was a lemon cake with strawberry frosting, and quite delicious if I do say so. :) I also got to use my uber-cool tupperware cake saver thing. :) I baked the batter in 2 round cake dishes and got to make it a double layer cake, too! It made a surprisingly tasty combination with the Andes mint ice cream Matt brought home one night. Lemon, strawberry, and mint--who knew?!


Tomorrow is my new teacher induction program orientation. So, I get to sleep in a tiny bit, but I also will get done later than usual. 8:30-3:30 instead of 7:24-2:45. Oh well. :) The only "errand" I really have tomorrow is grocery shopping, and I can wait until Tuesday if I'm exhausted from the thrill-a-minute meeting all day. ;)

We hope you had a good weekend! Matt went fishing yesterday and today, and he caught a stick yesterday and fed the pond 3 lures. :) We enjoyed the time outside. I'll have pictures of him and his stick when I get the roll developed (I took my film camera, because I was hoping to see cool wildlife, maybe even the alligator--some cool wildlife, no alligator).

Now we are emptying the dishwasher and running to my school so I can drop off their spelling in-class work that I forgot to number (long story) and their weekly reports home.

MUCH love,
The Kubos :)

Your cake looks mmm mmm good! And I love you cork board! That's a really good idea! I think I may have to STEAL it from you...the idea not the board. ;) Enjoy your meeting tomorrow, and have a super week. I'll be posting some soon. Can't wait to hear your take on things. ;) Lots of love.

I am so excited that we made the corkboard!! And the sweet picture of you and K. That is one of my favorites of you 2.

Too bad no alligator. I know someone who would have been very excited to see a first hand picture of a wild alligator.
