Sorry about the video... it's a mess. We are in the process of switching from Blogger to WordPress, so the Moore4 may appear a little goofy for awhile. Please stay tuned through these technical difficulties. The Webmaster is on it!! aka. Rick.
Thank you for your support.

Letting the girls play in front of the house this afternoon, I left the back door open so I could hear them while I swept the floor. Made dinner. With a few helps here and there they played happily in the sun and snow. Here's eventually what the last activity entailed... silly and fun girls :)

Him. Me. Karlstad. Popcorn (loads of it). And a movie. We settled on & downloaded "Julie & Julia".
It was actually a really good movie. Or a good story, I should say because:
a) there were bad words = never good.
b) unmentionables scene(s) that Rick hit the fast forward button on, (or one time me just closing my eyes till the remote zooming was over - LOL :)
However, watching this movie, er... hearing this 'based on a true story', story gave me the 'blogging bug' and like Julie, wanting to be a little self-indulgent... another never good, but here I am.
I started another blog. Kinda like the regularly updated blogs I like to read in the mornings - over breakfast. Or at least that is what they are there for to me - when I can/choose - for me to do so. I like to read & catch up on the latest while eating. Just my thing, I guess.
The posts are not intended to be long; 4 quips for a quick visit by a reader. Hopefully providing a smile and maybe a comment if I'm lucky?
So, for what it's worth... here's my link and 'what i think'.
In our Draper Townhome Days, even though we didn't have a chimney, Santa came on Christmas Eve and brought the girls a play kitchen.
It wasn't until pretty recently that it has been stocked with spices, popcorn, baking soda, butter and the like. And thanks to our Alaskan Grandma and to the Christmas holiday again (and to Mommy for putting it there as a permanent home) a cookbook.
Also this past December, we celebrated our 2nd Christmas in Farmington... still no chimney, but another visit from Santa. He brought dollhouses, but Mommy and Daddy brought something also totally cool - play food.
But not that plastic crap you find at Toys R Us... this was beautifully hand-crafted play food by someone on Etsy. Do you know Etsy? Well, you should if you don't.
I'd like to say this crafter had me at the banana slices (because I think that is a way-cool sentence) but I was liking all of it. This food was made out of eco-fi which is an 'eco' plus, but more importantly it was a wonderfully safe alternative to whatever crap China decided to put on the plastic crap play food they make. Sorry if that offends, but unsafe toys from China offends. In addition, buying this food supports an Etsy crafter = awesome. The banana slices are killer, however, and are my favorite. So incredibly cute. Cute! All of it, cute.
If you're hungry, feel free to stop by for a bite. Here is what is on the menu. Today. Well, everyday. But it's fresh! And delicious! And Cute!
♨
Eggs, sunny-side up
Bacon, curly
Sausage, brown
Cheese Slice - American or Cheddar (you get to use your imagination, remember?)
Pancakes, fluffy
Strawberry and Banana Slices, cute
Orange Wedge, funky
Pink Frosted Cookies, zero calories
and
Organic Carrots (i'm imagining)
☏ please call first, seating is limited

Our girls. Here they are with their celebratory cookies for their first day of the new year going to new Primary classes at church. In my rush that morning, I forgot to take a picture of the new dresses and preserve Carice's first official day of becoming a Sunbeam. And technically, because of our piles and piles of Primary Children in our ward, it was Cali's first day in Senior Primary! Yes, Junior Primary only consists of three and four year olds. It's a crazy ward... but someone's gotta live in it ☀
