The Gathering Storm







While the title "The Gathering Storm" could most certainly refer to Sarah, I'm actually referring to the new Robert Jordan/ Brandon Sanderson book in the Wheel of Time series. I recently finished this book and loved it! Brandon was true to the characters and the story moved along nicely. There were two awesome endings that I actually cheered about. I won't give any spoilers away, but I loved the book. I'd put it as one of the top in the entire series. Now that I'm finished with the book, I can pay attention to my family again.
We have been giving Jenna an allowance for the last several weeks and she has finally earned enough to buy this stuffed unicorn she wanted. So we took a picture of her with her new unicorn named "Pinky". Of course now that she bought the thing she wanted, she doesn't want to do her chores. She knew she was trying to earn the unicorn and now that she has the unicorn who needs an allowance?
Erik was gone all last week in Boston at his new job. He loves his new job especially since he got a phone with internet on it *jealous*. He also got a nice new laptop and can work from home. It's really an awesome job. Upon his arrival home I made him a key lime pie as that is what he asked for. I also made yellow cupcakes with cookie dough in the middle topped with a chocolate buttercream frosting I made. Delicious! That coupled with all the candy I've eaten lately has made me want to go back to the love handler!
Today I made the words "voting" and "quietly" on quiddler. Immediately I was kicked out because there were no more letters that could be made into a word. Bummer. So I only got 65 today.

Bee looks like she is having a good time in the leaves. Jenna has a nice array of unicorns. It is good she earned it herself.

Now Jenna and Sarah have more unicorns, ones with no body, as Jenna pointed out. Those darn Monter aunts, always buying them things that make noise...hee hee.
