Three days off, a kitten and a baby shower

Finally Thursday came, and I had a day off!

Jake took Thursday and Friday off so I got to actually see my husband!

Mom, friend Darlene and I spent all day Friday cooking in my kitchen preparing for the baby shower we were throwing my sister on Saturday. How wonderful it was to have two sous chefs... My kitchen didn't even look like a bomb went off after we were done.

Our Menu:
Zucchini tarts
Mini crab quiches
Mini green chili quiches
Pear, onion and Parmesan cheese strudel
fruit platter
crudites with hummus, white bean balsamic dip
pita chips and guacamole
Chicken salad and turkey with cranberry sauce tea sandwiches
Hazelnut panna cotta w/ raspberry sauce
and more coconut brownies (I'm on a kick)

Everything came out beautifully.

Also, on Friday my mom brought me a cute little black kitten. Anyone that knows me knows that I am NOT a cat person... but she is too cute. It was a rescue, of course. Emma was thrilled to death to have a kitten. She follows it around saying "Meow" or patting her knees saying "comeer" (come here). So far so good.

So today it's back to work.

We start potty training next weekend!
