1. Crock pot
*I love the crockpot. I think I will send it a Valentine.
2. Steamed milk
*I just discovered this when at a cafe with a friend. This particular cup of steamed milk was flavored with pumpkin spice. Yum.
3. Hot chocolate with milk
*This is for Lucas. He really enjoys hot chocolate, but I always make it with water. We were at Adam and Marie Wride's house, and Marie made some with milk. Lucas was immediately converted.
4. A good book
*Since last summer, I have begun reading again. Sadly, I could've counted on 1 hand the number of books I'd read -- for pleasure -- since college. I am happy to announce that I have renewed my love of reading; I am currently reading "Davita's Harp" by Chaim Potok.
5. Big boys don't wear diapers
*See also "News"
Guilty Pleasures:
1. Ghost Hunters
*This is a show on SciFi that Cory and I watch together every Wednesday night. I can hear your snickers but, before you mock, check it out...
2. I watched the Miss America Pageant
*I have always liked watching pageants and I don't really know why. I was disappointed Miss Utah didn't make it farther...they probably thought she was trying to hide something in her one-piece swimsuit.
Other News:
1. Gabriel announced to me last week as I was getting him dressed that "Big boys don't wear diapers!" How right he is. Ever since then, he's been sporting Diego, Thomas, or Bob the Builder underoos...hoorah! 
2. Went on an outing to DC with the Evans's to the National Geographic Museum. They had a frog exhibit, which was really cool! The kids (and moms) loved it. I've never seen so many different kinds of frogs. They even had a computer screen to virtually dissect a frog. Lucas thought it was awesome. Turns out, there's a website you can go to -- http://www.froguts.com/flash_content/index.html -- (which Lucas wanted to do immediately when we got home) to do it. So, once we got home, we virtually dissected the frog...again. Just the kind of moment I dreamed of sharing with my 5-year old.
3. I drove in DC. Are you impressed? I am. We drove in to meet Cory at work for lunch, then I took the kids to the National Postal Museum. I didn't know mail could be so interesting and entertaining. We spent about 2 hours there! Who knew?!
Did I mentioned I drove into DC?
