Sopapillas

I went and had a leaky filling drilled out and redone yesterday. Which sucked. Obviously. I jumped on a cancellation time they gave me so I wouldn't have to go do it the week of Thanksgiving, but didn't think through how the 11am appointment time would effect my lunch (or lack thereof). I had to leave work at 10:30 to get there and was completely numb until about 5pm. So by dinner time I was VERY hungry. And there was no way I was cooking any food with a numb face and an empty belly! Off we went to Local Cantina! (Note: Steve won the Epic Restaurant Battle and got his chips and dips.) 

But, this time, we took The Tiny Sprout with us. He LOVED it. He said they had the best quesadillas ever. And he ate such a great dinner, we decided to reward him with his first ever sopapilla experience. He was a huuuuuge fan. His "happy thing" for the day was getting to go out to eat at Local Cantina. Watching him take down that sopapilla was hilarious!!

YUM!!

Wm attacked that thing!

Steve and I were huddled under the heated blanket last night and I heard sad cat noises coming from below. Turns out, Schroeder lost a mouse under the ottoman and was taking it hard.

Depressed cat.

Wm has his first STEMM club activity this weekend and he is really excited!! It is a study of "small things" including nano tech and bacteria. I am arranging a trip for the STEMM club to come to my work in February!! The professor who runs our labs is going to take the kids through 3 stations: one where they will learn about ultrasounds and get to see their own carotid artery, one where they get to use our bone breaking press to break chicken bones to see how/where/why bones break, and one where they get to use an EKG to monitor their own heart! Wm is puuuuumped.
