Life Adventures for Miles

We have a birthday coming up tomorrow (me) so today when all are here and home, we decided to make birthday brownies! Yum yum! Triple chocolate fudge brownies that I think have chocolate chips in them. Even more yum! Luna had a blast putting all the ingredients together  (eggs, fudge box mix, brownie box mix, water, and vegetable oil) though she backed away from the sound of the mixer. We were also the lucky ones to lick the tools/ bowl after the mixing and pouring wax was done, I loved doing that as a kid.. then we decorated with lemon icing and sprinkles! Also on another, we noted that the Winnie the Pooh jack in the box has officially broken. I've had it for a long time but with a 4-year-old, I am surprised it lasted this long, heh. Brownie Instructions: 1) Combined the brownie mix and fudge pouch mix with vegetable oil, egg, and water 2) Mix until blended (consistency of goop) 3) Preheat oven for 325 F and cook for 40-50 minutes until consistency has a cakeish moist/spring to

Today we went out in the sunshine. 45 minutes was about all the adults would handle with all the kids there and such. After our nature loop, I am pretty glad we decided to go as Luna was pink-cheeked and seemed a tad bit worn out when we took a drove to get our pullups. First, we made a couple of pit stops, one for food (Chick Fil A) and one for fun (Hobby Lobby), which was I always enjoy. Sadly, I found out the news about some people I know. The fact that my social awkwardness seems to come out the most in such situations does not lend me well as the one for a shoulder to cry on (like I thought I had when growing up). Death can be a sad and scary time and grief is...another complicated concept. What to say when it's of people you know or know of but who you don't feel close to, I suppose empathetic and sympathetic shoes are best to be slipped on and yet, not knowing what reaction to give or that will be received when doing so...feels very awkward and in some way very rude, esp

The friday play was mostly imagination with her Mr potato and all his friends. Creating different looks and putting it in different positions while acting out scenarios with other toys had Luna basically running about the house with great joy. While there were lulls with blankets and big screen watching, I think the fact that she didn't have any more "burritos" (eye ointment) seemed to cheer her the most. The pizza was made by the husband today so it was a full pizza with lots of toppings and not always crunchy crust. Delicious! I have also been mooning over the past. Not the historical past of society like usual (though I DO still think I would have an easier time of it with its structure and understandings-even if it WAS ALL ridiculous). No this time it is more about my history and my ruminating over it. Everyone and their mother knows/says that it is one major attachment to the spectrum (in any part) so one one hand I feel like it should just be forgiven and forgotten
