Dessert nachos anyone?

I'm working an a few crafty things so expect another post later today!

Our "puppy" keeps growing, much to my dismay!

The makings for Dessert Nachos! (home made cinnamon-sugar nachos, diced strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, bananas, Vanilla ice cream, thick caramel sauce, home made chocolate sauce, and whipped cream with a cherry on top!)

SO incredibly yummy! (and so calorie laden that we only have it once a year!) I think I posted a recipe somewhere...oh yes, HERE. And I blogged about them HERE too.

My Birthday.

I had a great birthday this year! My husband woke me up at midnight singing "Happy Birthday" to me and holding a cupcake with a candle in it. I was slightly dazed and he said at first I kept trying to "put the light out" with my hand! LOL! What can I say, I was sleepy. He made me open my gifts right then and there in the middle of bed too! He searched out and purchased an amazing, high-quality rolling tote for craft supplies and filled it to the brim with some awesome crafting stuff. Brads, buttons, punches, magnetic storage, Prismacolor MARKERS, embellishments, etc. I was in awe. And he also gave me a super nice, long sleeved tie-dye T-shirt.
In the morning we drove to my mom's and she made me a BD lunch that was super yummy. And that evening she and my sister watched the kids while my best friend and my husband and I went out and had a ball! We ate an incredible meal at this fun restaurant that brews it's own beers, and then we bought the ingredients for Dessert Nachos and went back to my mom's and opened presents and chowed down on dessert. My BF got me a new pair of Chucks (Converse) that I just adore! And also Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium. I love, love, LOVE that movie. And also the soundtrack to the musical Once! I've been listening to it non-stop! So it wasn't so bad to turn 31.
ETA: Recipe for Dessert Nachos: Take flour tortillas, spray or brush with melted butter, sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and sugar, cut into wedges, bake in oven until crisp (350 10-15 minutes, turning over once). Arrange them on platter, top with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, fresh chopped fruit (kiwi, bananas, pineapple, cherries), some whipped cream, and more cinnamon sugar. Gorge yourself.

Slacker...

That's me! (said in a cheerful voice, of course) But only concerning my blog, not real-life stuff.

This spring break has really taken it's toll on me. We went to WV to visit my in-laws and introduce the kids to some more family. What a great time we had! The weather was beautiful down there; warm, breezy, sunny, with actual GREEN grass! Ahhhhh. Alas, we came home in the midst of a blizzard here in upstate, NY. Yuck. Considering that we LEFT in the middle of a terrible storm with our car covered in ice and snow, it was not fun to return to the same old stuff. It's amazing how much the weather can affect my mood.

Also, my husband and I have been thrown for a loop at the amount of paperwork and court appearances involved in adopting our two kids. Whewwww. Add that to the planning and visa/passport arrangements we are trying to take care of so we can go to China for 2 weeks in May/June. We are so busy.

So, as you can see, I've been remiss in posting recently. I promise to jump back on the band-wagon by tomorrow morning, and get back to my regular schedule.

By way of an apology, I'm posting a few kid pics, and a food photo of my Dessert Nachos.
