School is officially finished! Wow. Another year done. We took the kids out for dinner tonight to celebrate their accomplishments, very fun. This weekend we are celebrating our father's day, now that Daddy is home & I found this AMAZING recipe that I think we shall try out (even though ONE SERVING has 110g of FAT!!!!!!!)... unheard of! I didn't even know something could have that much fat in a single serving.... WOW. But we're celebrating Daddy... so it's ok :)
