Baked Cheesy Garden Jalapenos

Our vegetable garden hasn't had the best time with all the heat and lack of love I have shown it this summer, but the one plant has has yet to die and remains untouched by the animals is the jalapeno plant. Tonight I decided it was time, and picked 4 fresh peppers, stuffed them with cheese, baked them and ate them. They didn't look great in the end, but they were pretty yummy!

And I even managed to keep from getting jalapeno in my eye this time.

Kite Fun

Last weekend we had a perfect day to fly the kite that Patrick & Kirstin got Carter for his birthday. He LOVED commanding the kite!

First T-Ball Game!

Carter had his very first t-ball game this morning. He wasn't feeling well, but he toughed it out for the game.

As you might expect, a 3-4 year old t-ball game is hilarious/adorable (also very hot). And my kid is a pretty smart player. I mean, if you are on first, and the person on second isn't running (i.e. not paying attention), you clearly should run directly to third. Shortest distance between two points and all...

Then again, whenever Carter hits the ball, he always runs directly to the pitcher's mound. I haven't figure out the logic behind that one yet, but I'm sure it's there.

Ready for baseball!

They play 2 innings or 45 minutes, whichever comes first. We played 1 inning. Every kid gets a turn each inning; there are no strikes and no outs. Carter's team is the Phillies. At least he's national league...

Thanks to Cart Cart for coming to cheer him on!

Ladies Weekend in Atlanta (plus Carter!)

As thanks for all the solo-parenting that Thomas has been doing the last few months, I gave him a weekend off to visit friends in Chicago. So, Mandi and Joo came to Atlanta to keep Carter and I company!

Friends Kirsten & Al hosted a party where Mandi and Joo got to meet some of my Atlanta friends, and Carter got to do some banging

Carter and I got dual polish-changes. He picked out NEON pink for us both.

Note to self: If you want your girlfriends to talk to you when they visit, do NOT introduce them to the Hunger Games books...

Or the Percy Jackson books.

We missed you, Aarti!
