Amused and Confused: Life with Rachel and Zoe

Rachel often starts to tell a joke, stops halfway through when she realizes it isn't going to make sense, then continues for the benefit of those listening. Often times this leaves Marisa and I amused, if not a bit confused. Hence our new motto: amused and confused.

Rachel also loves to confuse people by saying or doing things that don't make sense, just to get a reaction. It's a game; we all have our things.

I actually think Zoe might be in on the joke. She will often run around the house like a crazy, especially in her evening active hours. Sometimes she will crouch at the line between the linoleum and carpet dividing the kitchen and dining room, then dash forward about 10 feet, as if she is practicing dashing for some sort of track event.

Anyhow, between the two of them, there is plenty of laughing by all.

Sometimes we lay on bags...

That's perfectly normal, right?

Sharing is caring!

Is that a lion or a Rachel?

Here's a combo deal: Rachel decided the sunflowers needed sunlight, Zoe decided the sunflowers needed company.

When Fridays roll around, sometimes a little treat is the perfect way to say goodbye to the week and hello to the weekend. What's more fitting than this little cinnamon-y, caramel-y, doughy, warm nugget of deliciousness?

Snickerknoedel for all!

And when Monday rolls around, it helps to have a fast yet delicious meal to look forward to!

Salad rolls and peanut sauce!

As I prepare for bed, I will leave you with a picture of a sleepy kitty - goodnight!
