Whoopie Pies!

I woke up today, sunny side up.  I'm not really sure why...
because I was especially exhausted.  I'm blaming the unusual heat we've been having. If not that, then it's because my daughter is working on 2 more teeth.  She wakes up crying every so often, and goes back to sleep. 

Poor baby.  Again at 5 this morning she was crying...I got all the way to her room and waited, and lo and behold, she stopped. Yea! I eagerly went back to bed.  The sheets never felt so good. I've never loved sleep as much as I do now after having a baby. It really makes you appreciate it.

Well, we celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary Saturday.  I made the Whoopie Pies! I'm so glad they turned out.  I can cook, but I'm the first to say that baking is not my strong point.
