September- in which we ate lots of sugar and Dallin had a birthday

My system for bummer days= eat a treat someplace unusual. A fort, hot chocolate and popcorn. It worked for about 10 minutes.

Snitching brownie batter! Dallin brings a treat to his institute class every week. Do you see these girls? They were in the bath because they had painted watercolors all over their bodies. I went into my room for a few minutes, and they were suddenly out of the tub and eating brownie batter on the table. Brilliant girls.

We also ate chocolate chips on occasion.

Dallin's birthday! He turned 29. And he got an awesome card. Well done, Vivienne.

Birthday breakfast- quiche and smoothies.

 Also the best decorations that a grown man can ask for. Pink and clown garlands are awesome, right?

And Cake!

 No birthday candles, just a regular one. Dallin decided to be contrarian and pinch out the flame instead of blowing it out. It took a few tries.

 The girls thought this was fascinating and hilarious. (Norah on the L, Ruby on the R)

Really, they did.

 Eating cake is always a good thing.
