I'm Always Looking for a Good Excuse to Open A Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

This week's excuse:  These are growing in my front yard!

Why not celebrate with some Lime Pie.  I can't very well call it Key Lime Pie, because I used normal limes.  It was yummy, and today I am EXTREMELY proud of myself that I have not touched it. It is still covered and half-eaten, tempting me in the fridge.  I am not including a picture.  I don't want anyone who is trying to be good to suffer.

Just combine and mix well:

5 beaten egg yolks

1 can sweetened condensed milk 

1/2 cup key lime juice

Pour into a prepared 9 inch graham cracker crust and bake at 375 for 15 minutes.  Cool.  Top with whipped cream if the above mentioned ingredients don't provide enough calories for you.

Easy.

Lately, we've been...

Making Valentines and

building monkey caves.  We are still working on correctly assigning animals to their habitats.  Monkeys generally do not live in caves, but I have decided not to make an issue out of it. 

Going on train rides to play in Salt Lake

to celebrate Daddy's graduation.

We have also been practicing a variety of new skills, despite the risk of frosting on the walls and ceiling (which miraculously did not occur).  Wow. 

We've been learning to make beds,

and visiting Temple Square.

Logan has been asserting his independence in a variety of impressive and entertaining ways.

We have taken up bowling as a hobby.

Logan insists on doing it all by himself.  Thank heaven for bumpers.

We have also enjoyed visiting lots of new places and learning new things.  The above pic is a T-Rex track.  Wow.  Huge.  I'm finding that mothering a two-year old has ignited my love of learning.  His excitement of discovery is contagious.
