i just got back from the best sisters' weekend ever! all 6 girls were there, plus my mom. i weaned pace just in the nick of time, and was able to leave him home with loren and the other kids, so i was child-free for the first time ever!!!!! i'm already waiting for next year's getaway......

recipe for an indian halloween costume

gretchen came to me with a plan for making myself an indian halloween costume. here is what she proposed:

"first, you take some paper and cut it up. then put it in the oven for 4 hours. with 8 cups of sugar on it. then you take it out and let it sit for a while to let it get more prettier. then you take some sprinkles and glitter and decorate it. then you're done. and if that doesn't work, just wear your pakistan outfit"

she even drew me a 'plan' of the procedure, with a detailed drawing of all the different steps.

anybody need a new halloween costume?
