Sweetness.

Today has been glorious; a bit of a sleep in {6:30 instead of 5:30}...and what else?

1. This morning we had breakfast out with my brother-in-law and his lady...

So curious.

and baby Lu sat in a big kid high-chair! She was propped up with some stuff but would've been fine without it all.

2. Our child "drew" with the restaurant crayons.

She's SO advanced.

3. I whipped up a nice jar full of simple syrup today.

Regular granulated sugar doesn't dissolve well at cooler temperatures and since I'm still on a big iced coffee kick thanks to this grossness:

{& still on a sweetened coffee kick thanks to something I'll explain at a later date}, this stuff makes the AM caffeine preparation go much quicker. And it's super easy; heat up equal parts sugar and water over medium-high heat until dissolved. This above is a cup each of sugar and water.

4. Short work week this week...woo hoo!

5. Some friends came over for dinner tonight which prompted some cleaning/clearing out. We really should've stopped using the "we just moved" excuse because we really did not just move. Thank goodness for some good old fashioned motivation.

How was your long weekend folks? Is it heating up alluvasudden in your parts? Have a lovely week!
