Mmmm...banana bread : )

We have lots and lots of banana bread (or "banana cake" as KK calls it). I made a total of 7 loaves and several muffins with the leftover batter. It is so nice to have a working oven again!!! I've even used it for more than baking banana bread, so that is good too. I am thrilled to have more options for cooking, and have found that I've enjoyed it for once - if you count putting frozen lasagna and pizza into the oven "cooking." A nice bonus to having new working appliances is that they are pretty too. KK is doing great. Her "owie" is already looking better and less red. I'm so happy to have that little hurdle over with. She had a little girlfriend over to play for most of the day yesterday who ended up spending the night. KK LOVED it! She woke up this morning and immediately called out for her friend and they picked up playing right where they left off the night before. I can't wait for slumber parties with LOTS of little kiddos! KK and I are very lucky and blessed to have such special friends in our playgroup.

Tonight Daddy and I helped one of our sitters complete some college applications and financial aid documents. Gosh, collecting and organizing all of that info is worse than buying a house! We made huge progress though, and while I am desperately going to miss this young lady when she leaves for college, I am so excited for her and her future.

I've missed both nights of AI this week. I think I said it was pretty much the only TV I ever watch, but I forgot about my other favorite - the very classy "Girls Next Door". I caught an episode tonight and I have my entertainment fix for the week. Now I'm off to eat some more banana bread...
