Hello, Pretty Baby

I have wanted a stand mixer for at least 20 years. Kohl's was having a dealio for associates that I just couldn't pass up. It ended up being about 75% off the normal price.

Of course, there is Kat on the counter. It's her favorite place to be. She's always supervising, making sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I think she also hopes chocolate chips or something else flies out of the bowl so she can be the first to eat it.

Trent said that the mixer was "making my life easier". Kat said, "MOM! You have to find a new place to work where you don't spend so much money!"

She may have a point, but in the meantime, I'm making cookies, bread and we want the attachment to grind meat to make sausages and the attachment to make pasta. I can't wait!

Yup, this will do it. It's the best one of the bunch.

Look for these in your mail soon.

Let us all hope Mrs. Duffy has a good baby

Kat's student teacher's last day is today. She is also very pregnant and due very soon. The teacher and the kids planned a surprise baby shower/going away party for her. We made her a card last night. I handed the finished card to Kat to sign and this is what she wrote:

She also always writes her name twice. Once in cursive and once in printing. It's a habit she started a couple months ago.

Here's the front of the card. October Afternoon and the Special Delivery Cricut cart.
