Yay for snow days!!! We've got a TON of ice and snow, and so school is already canceled for tomorrow! Since I'm a senior I don't have to make up snow days at the end of the year (yayness!) So this weekend Ryan and Mallory came over and and got "snowed in" and we've hibernated together all weekend. Sooo much fun. We got into the dress-up box from the crawl space which resulted in the following picture:
I think I'll predict my identity if you can't figure out which one I am.
We also made a WONDERFUL rhubarb cake. It tastes so good you would never guess how easy it is to make! I chopped up this rhubarb I got from my neighbor's garden last fall and kept it in the freezer already measured out and everything-- It makes a great mid-winter treat. Here's the recipe:
Rhubarb Cake1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup milk mixed with 1 tsp soda
2 cups chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
1. Mix sugar, shortening and egg
2. Add flour, salt, vanilla and milk mixture. Mix well.
3. Stir in Rhubarb.
4. Pour into 9 X 13 pan. Top with sugar mixture.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
On Saturday Dad braved the icy roads to go get lunch at Applebees... when he got home we realized that they had given us the wrong order! They told us to keep it and come get our own food, so we ended up with a feast! Here's me n ryan n mallory trying out somebody's pizza... it was really good! We also got a few salads and a steak. We thought about returning the steak and asking for it medium rare! =P
Well tonight I had a little fun with photoshop... dad came and asked who it was in the photo... took him a little bit to recognize me! Haha... well here's the finished product.

I must say, Kirstin, that pic doesn't look exactly like you, I gotta admit, I did a double-take when I first saw it. Although I must say, it does look quite striking. Those kinds of photos would be good for a model. It doesn't even look like you changed that much, maybe enhanced the eye color, but I don't know much about Photoshop. Anyways, I'm rambling, so I'll end with this little thought: Wasssssuuuupppp???
haha thanks aaron!
