7 Quick Takes Friday, March 5


~1~
Birthday party for my baby girl, she is now 8 years old...where did the time go?
Smallish/medium party for her, family and a few friends. Lots of sugar. Everyone said I did a superb job, picking up the phone and ordering this cake! It was a white cake with white chocolate-chip frosting inside. Yum. Like I said, lots of sugar! :)

~2~
We have had more rain than we are used to here in So. Ca - about time, we really need it. The world was green today at the stables, Meg had a lesson. Beautiful!

~3~
Josie was moved to a different beginning sabre class, and it is only one day a week, not two days!
Less drive time for mom is a good thing.

~4~
We studied Vikings this week. We measured out a viking ship in the front yard.
80 ft by 16ft, who knew?

~5~
measured out a treasure map using a compass for our Classical Conversations class. I've never used a compass before, can you believe that? I had a blast...but it was the compass app on the iphone, does that really count?

~6~
Orange peel beef at P.F. Chang's China Bistro. Heaven.

~7~
finally figured out how to use the aperture setting on my camera- Eureka! Having much fun- before I figured this out, I was cheating and setting my camera on the little flower icon for a close up, which would blur the background some...but it wasn't the same.

I have to say it...I heart bokeh. I need more bokeh in my life.
