(1) It was very windy that day and I had several Marilyn Monroe-esque moments. I think I flashed everyone in the parking lot. Luckily, it was pretty empty and I was wearing a slip.
I ended up using two grocery bags to hold my dress down.
(2) Baby Chuck really wanted to get hubby a birthday balloon. After deliberating for what seemed like hours and hours, we finally settled on a cute airplane shaped balloon. I gave Baby Chuck the responsibility of bringing the balloon to the car. As we left the store, a strong gust of wind blew and our airplane took flight.
It's probably somewhere over Lake Michigan by now, wishing birds and sea creatures a happy birthday.
(3) I like to pretend like I know what I'm doing in the kitchen. But, Ina Garten, I am not. I tried following an online recipe for a gluten free chocolate cake. The man in the video assured me that it would be simple, foolproof, and delicious. I don't know what he was talking about. Here's how my poor cake turned out.
