The last of the brown sugar...

Nothing too interesting went on last week- just normal 'life stuff'. Spent the beginning of the week trying to get Solomiya in for her check-up with the doctor. Got an appointment on Monday, went to the clinic only to find out that we had left Solomiya's chart at home. (Interesting fact: The patient is responsible for keeping their own chart and bringing it to each appointment). So, we went back on Tuesday, with her chart = mission accomplished. Went out for coffee afterwards to recover (Solomiya does not like medical workers).
Mike taught his own classes last week and also filled in for one of the other teachers, so he was quite busy every evening. I cancelled my OT sessions for Tuesday, but did see everyone on Friday and Saturday.
We were invited over to friend's houses for dinner on Saturday and on Sunday (dinner invites are awesome because we know that we'll be eating some good food and Mike knows that he will actually be able to eat some meat for a change!).
I went back to the dentist today for her to work on another tooth and to have a cleaning done. (My teeth are super clean- at one point the hygenist was "sand blasting" them with calcium carbonite). I still cannot believe how amazing this dentist is and how incredibly cheap the services are. Thank God!
After Solomiya went to sleep for the night, I decided to make a pineapple upside-down cake with the last of the brown sugar. I'm experimenting because we would like to have some people over for dinner this weekend.

Yum... that looks appetizing. I blame it on our oven. And on the brown sugar sauce that burned. I'm glad I did a trial run first. oi.

That looks better and slightly more appetizing.

Maybe Mike will clean this pan for me...

We have on our hands here a little girl who likes to play dress-up. She was so excited when she saw this dress (I believe her reaction was something like this, "ooooOOOOooooo"), we had to put it on her over her clothes. She wore it the rest of the evening.

No outfit is complete without a hat.

She also does this quite often- finds an article of clothing and wraps it around her waist or her shoulders. When I came home from the dentist today, she was wearing one of my tank tops around her neck like a cape.
