One of those good weekends.

My camera is back in town today, but of course it's being delivered to my house and requires a signature, and of no one is there. Grrr! Well I have been scrapping lately, just no camera to take pics of the pages to post, so hang tight, I've been trying to catch up, so there's a couple to post when I do finally get my camera.

Had a super busy, but one of those kind of perfect weekends the other weekend. We went to the circus on Friday, and I've never been to the circus, and it was super cool. Elephants, miniature ponies, dog tricks, trapeeze artists, good friends, and lots of little children's laughter. Plus I got cotton candy and a cool hat that goes with it!

See, told you I was excited!

Saturday I went to the Husky game, and then to the Mariners game. We lost both games, but the company at each game was pretty awesome, different people at each, so it was a good day. Unfortunately though I have no pictures to document it, which makes me soooo sad. So you'll just have to take my word for it. It was one of those days though that I don't want to forget, so I'll be scrapping a page with no pictures I guess.

Then we flew to LA on Sunday to surprise my sister. She had no idea- love it! We went to Disneyland on Monday, and then got kicked out of the park before we even got in. Didn't think about the fact that I was going with a bunch of alkie's that can't enjoy Disneyland without alcohol. So we left the parking lot and the disney police to go harrass other people, and snuck in.

I'm not sure how much everyone remembers of the day, because while I played mom they proceeded to black out. But I got to go on the big rides, and see the parade, so that made me happy. Here's all of us in line for our first ride. This is about the best photo we got, and really it's cause someone else took it. Most of the pics have about half an eye in them. And then Lesley's camera broke (this is just not a good summer for cameras).

Went on a baking spree last night. Made a veggie lasagna and these chocolate cheesecake squares. I think I went a little overboard. Once I start cooking I have a hard time stopping. Plus all three of my roommates and I went grocery shopping yesterday so I was trying to clear up some room in the fridge. I'm hoping the lasagna turns out, if so I'll post the recipe since it's pretty good for you too, and easy. Here's the cheesecake squares, they're good for you too, if you can say that about sweets, but people love them, you just have to make them way ahead of time cause they have to sit out till they cool, and then be in the fridge for another hour before you eat them, not really a last minute thing to bring to a BBQ, but if you plan ahead they'd be a big hit!
