  Hands.  The best utensil. Love that he asked for a knife and fork only to ultimately use his hands to eat dinner. We drove up to Austin after naps this afternoon to spend the night and most of Sunday.

  Cookie Decorating with The Girls Mabel, Lucie and Emma came over this afternoon and spent the night with us so that Jason and Carrie could have a kid free evening.  I sure do like spending time with these 3.
