The Variety of Clouds – Lighting Conditions
Clouds of different kinds, layers and thicknesses create a complex, endlessly changing arena of light.
Lighting conditions are more complicated and less easy to anticipate when clouds are broken, so that there is a mixture with blue sky. In fact the complexity extends to situations where there is more than one layer of broken cloud, each different in type. The intensity, quality, and color of light can vary. On a windy day, these conditions change rapidly, not only from cloud to direct sun, but from one type of weather to another.
If you are tying to take a particular shot that you have fixed in your mind, scattered cloud on a windy day can be frustrating, to say the least. The light changes up and down, delaying the shooting. However, the sheer variability of broken cloud can produce some of the most interesting, and even dramatic, lighting. To take advantage of it, however, you need to react quite quickly. Familiarity with the different light levels in any one situation will help; if you have already measured the difference between cloud and sunlight, you can change from the one setting to the other without having to use the meter again. Under heavy cloud with a few gaps, this may be particularly useful, as the sunlight is likely to move in patches across the landscape and be difficult to measure quickly.

Could Andrew Luck line up behind an offensive line that's 60 percent new in 2013?
Right tackle Gosder Cherilus is a certainly as a new starter, and Donald Thomas should win a starting guard slot.
Now Hugh Thornton, a guard from Illinois, is the Colts third-round pick, 86th overall.
Mike McGlynn was the starter at right guard in 2012 while Joe Reitz started eight games at left guard and Jeff Linkenbach started four there last year. Seth Olsen, who was also in the mix, is gone.
Those three holdovers will likely be in a battle with Thomas and Thornton and the newcomers should rank as favorites given their pedigrees.
The Colts line had no answers for J.J. Watt last year. In a December Texans' win in Houston, the defensive player of the year had six tackles for a loss including three sacks and a forced fumble.
That effort prompted this from GM Ryan Grigson:
"You need elite offensive line play to block elite defensive linemen like Watt with any consistency. If you don't play near-perfect from a technique standpoint, he will eat you alive. Six-foot-six, 290 with motor and instincts. A true game wrecker."
Who knows if Thornton will be part of a solution? When he gets a chance, he may not show elite technique but he could show elite toughness. According to Scouts Inc., Thornton rates as exceptional in that category.
"Aggressive mauler that blocks to the whistle and can get under defender's skin but doesn't appear to be a hothead prone to personal foul calls. Always looking for someone to hit and uncoils on linebackers at the second level. Looks to deliver kill shot whenever gets a chance to blind side defender in space or help guard out when no one comes to him in pass protection."

Did you know that "unconsciousness" may be a complete defense to a criminal charge, including the offense of driving under the influence? One may be deemed "unconscious" even though they are walking and talking. The only requirement for this defense in a DUI case is that there must be at least a reasonable doubt that the state of unconsciousness was caused by involuntary intoxication.

Original paper
Effects of taxonomic and numeric resolution on the ability to detect ecological patterns at a local scale using stream macroinvertebrates
Melo, Adriano S.
Archiv für Hydrobiologie Volume 164 Number 3 (2005), p. 309 - 323
published: Dec 2, 2005
ArtNo. ESP141016473002, Price: 29.00 €
The increasing demand for methods of rapid stream bioassessment has stimulated the evaluation of data simplification. In particular, these studies have assessed how much power is lost when species/morphospecies identification is replaced by family identifications or use of EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) taxa only. A second simplifying factor commonly evaluated is the use of presence/absence data instead of density. These simplifications have provided valid results in most cases where differences among groups are large, particularly in studies comparing impacted vs. non-impacted stream sites and ecological studies involving large spatial scales. Here I evaluate whether data simplification, both in terms of taxonomic (families, morphospecies of EPT) and numeric (presence/absence) resolutions, is valid for ecological studies done at local scales, where differences among groups are subtle. Datasets used are derived from a five-year study of five stream sites situated in a catchment in southeast Brazil. Streams were sampled twice a year, in the rainy (summer) and dry (winter) seasons. I used Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM) to evaluate if differences i) among stream sites and ii) between seasons within a stream site, revealed by using the full data set (morphospecies, quantitative data), were also detected when using the simplified datasets. The effect of taxonomic resolution was not significant; the two simplified levels of this factor (morphospecies of EPT, families) were able to recover the same groups revealed by the full dataset. However, the use of presence/absence data had a strong negative effect on the ability to distinguish groups, particularly when differences were small (between seasons within a stream site). The success in recovering groups using simplified taxonomic data agrees with previous evaluations done using datasets from applied fields and those from ecological studies involving large spatial scales. However, in contrast to results observed in applied and large-scale studies, use of simplified data quantification in local datasets resulted in significant loss of information. I suggest that the use of family identifications or morphospecies of EPT are reliable alternatives to the use of species/morphospecies in ecological studies at a local scale.

Same affiliate program on 2 different networks, different EPC, why?

Hi All,
I saw the same affiliate program (I mean from the same company) on both SAS and CJ but the EPC is vastly different. On SAS, its 7 days' EPC is about $10 while on CJ, it is only $4 for its 7 days' EPC. What do you think could be the possible cause?
Thank you : )

Expected. Different networks, different set of affiliates, affiliates doing different things.
Signup with the merchant through the network (CJ or ShareASale) that you are more comfortable with.
Yours truly,

We used to have that with an old appliances client. They were on CJ and GAN, and a number of factors contributed, including that they had different custom program terms with different affiliates on the different networks, and that each network had a different group of high-performing affiliates. An affiliate with a high EPC on Network A can skew overall statistics greatly, in some circumstances. On a 7-day EPC, a single sale can skew everything so greatly to make the number occasionally meaningless (30-day is less volatile).
The main thing is: With rare exceptions, you will have the same EPC regardless of network. Your site is the determining factor, not the network.
Rare exceptions can include:
- Different commissions on different networks (I've seen it)
- One of the networks has less reliable tracking

- One network has better features that make you more profitable (easier access to datafeeds, coupon feeds)

Hi Crafters,
This challenge over at Cut it Up is all about Thanksgiving. Be sure to link up your Thanksgiving project using a die cut!
I love setting a pretty table! It's in my genes, my Grandmother and my mom both had a knack for table decor. I decided to make some place markers for my mom's table. I used the cartridge Flower Shoppe to cut these maple leaves at 2.5 inches.
I outlined the leaves using a brown cricut marker.
I used the Martha Stewart score board to score the leaves in half.
I folded on the score line and put ATG glue down the side and assembled them together with the fold going in.
I used a gold pen to write the names on the side.
I had some left over strips from my paper so I trimmed the strip down to 2x5.5 to make napkin rings. I glued a matching leaf over the seam. I'm so looking forward to a beautiful Holiday season filled with family and many blessings!

It was reported this week that Fiat S.p.A. is carrying out environmental and safety evaluations of Chrysler LLC factors as part of its intention to take over 35 percent of its stake.
Environ Holdings Inc., of Arlington, Virginia was hired by Fiat to conduct the evaluations. The aim of the teams sent to Chrysler plants was to determine whether the investment would put Fiat at a disadvantage on issues relating to the environment or safety.
The intended partnership, which was made public in January, is seen by Chrysler top brass as the route of choice to its survival.
Chrysler, which has already received $4 billion in aid from the US government for it to stay in business and is seeking an additional $5 billion more, will receive access to Fiat powerplant lineups, transmissions and small-car platforms to enable it to meet stringent US fuel-economy regulations.
The collaboration would also enable Chrysler to go slow on its dependence on gas-guzzling light trucks, and at the same time Fiat would be put in a position to sell its models via Chrysler's wide network of US dealerships.
Nothing is final as of this time, but it seems that the alliance is dependent on Chrysler receiving the second $5 billion loan from the government to enable it to continue its operations.
In the past four months, Chrysler's sales in the US have dropped in excess of 40 percent, year to year.

Focusing on the Quiet Ones
Research indicates that as many as half of all Americans are introverts. Despite this, current U.S. education policy heavily favors extroverts. Desks in classrooms are often arranged in pod formation to encourage group work, more outspoken students get the bulk of attention from teachers, and focus on consensus leaves out the quieter voices.
Common Core standards that are in force in most states are particularly disadvantageous to introverted students. In the section of Common Core titled "College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening," at every grade level from K-12, the focus is on contributing to discussions and persuading others to accept your viewpoint. The first requirement in this section (CCRA.SL.1) states "Prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively."
Parents and teachers need to be acutely aware that collaboration and persuasion aren't characteristics that introverts generally enjoy. They prefer to work alone and to avoid conflict. They'd often rather write than speak. Yet Common Core forces children who prefer to work independently to work in groups. It forces children who would rather respond in writing to be public speakers. Common Core forces students who believe strongly in their opinions to give way to those with louder voices and to back down in the face of others' more forceful presentations.
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain is a resource for those who wish to understand the different needs of introverts and extroverts.
Cain says, "Research suggests that the vast majority of teachers believe that the ideal student is an extrovert." She says this isn't a new trend; according to a Harvard provost in the 1940s, the policy was to reject those applicants who were "sensitive," in favor of the "healthy extrovert kind."
Introverts aren't weaker or less capable than extroverts. There is something lost when what Cain calls the "Extrovert Ideal" takes over. We must value introverts for who they are. Cain quotes science journalist Winifred Gallagher, who writes: "The glory of the disposition that stops to consider stimuli rather than rushing to engage with them is its long association with intellectual and artistic achievement. Neither E=mc2 nor Paradise Lost was dashed off by a party animal."

Buju Banton Goes to Jail
Burnin' and Lootin' is a column by Robert Gordon that showcases upcoming artists, musicians, poets, and entertainers from the Caribbean. From Kingston to Miami to New York City and beyond the Caribbean continues to have a lasting cultural impact and each week we look at one individual or group that is helping to promote island culture through the arts.
"We nuh keep friend wid di informa type!" – Buju Banton (Hey Boy)
In late July 2009, Mark Myrie settled into his first-class seat on a flight from Madrid to Miami. He was getting ready to watch Ben-Hur and relax with a cocktail. As The Miami New Times tells the story, he ordered a mimosa and a man sitting next to him joked that he should order red wine instead because it is a more masculine drink. Mr. Myrie obliged. Small talk is pretty common, especially on long flights, so there was no reason for him to feel uneasy. After all, Mark was used to regularly meeting new people and living his life in the spotlight. This is because he happens to be a Grammy-award winning reggae artist who many consider to be one of the most influential Jamaican artists of the 1990s. Mark Myrie, better known by his stage name Buju Banton, is responsible for a number of chart topping hits like "Driver A," "Not An Easy Road," "Rasta Can't Go," and "Destiny."
With more than eight hours to kill as they crossed the Atlantic, Banton and his new friend drank heavily. In one instance, the flight attendants had to tell them to tone down their semi-belligerent behavior and in another, "when a tipsy Buju was stopped coming back into first class from coach, the stranger vouched he was indeed supposed to be there, a gesture that made a lasting impression." His new friend told him that his name was "Junior" and he ran a successful fish company – but more interestingly, that he had loose ties to the reggae industry. Banton's curiosity was peaked.
The thing about meeting strangers and welcoming them into to one's life is that there is an incredible amount to gain from other people's experiences and there is something to the notion that new friends can be made anywhere, but at the same time it is equally difficult to identify who merely sees these meetings as an opportunity. It is hard to pinpoint who is predatory. "Junior" for instance, is really a Colombian national named Alexander Johnson. Johnson is a U.S. government informant with a lengthy criminal record and a number of financial incentives to land a "big fish" so to speak – and we're not talking about snapper.
The Broward-Palm Beach New Times compiled some damning numbers that relate to his life:
700 - Number of kilos Alex Johnson said he was caught trying to bring into Miami in 1993.
21.5 - Years Johnson was sentenced to serve.
2.5 - Years he actually served.
16 - Years Johnson has been working as a confidential informant.
$3.3 million - Approximate amount of untaxed income he has earned working as a confidential informant.
$206,000 - Mean per-year salary as a professional snitch.
$898,500 - Price he paid for a home in a western Broward County gated community.
$50,000 - Paycheck he earned for the bust that netted Buju Banton.
$200,000 - Approximate amount Johnson owed the IRS in 2010, the same year he filed for bankruptcy and testified against Buju.
Keeping this in mind, it is hard to imagine that one of the most respected reggae singers of a generation – and an artist who would go on to win a Grammy the following year – would initiate a conversation with a stranger about drug trafficking. However, according to Johnson, after an intoxicated Banton saw that he had a lot of cash, which likely did not come from fishing, conversations about moving multi-kilogram amounts of cocaine began. This was later clarified during cross-examination that "[Buju] never sold or bought drugs and had never wired any money to him to invest in the illicit trade." He also stated under oath that "Banton had never purchased any cocaine in Panama or Colombia and that their dealings never went beyond talk."
Why a man who is a devout Rastafari and is known for songs like "Sensimillia Persecution" where he proudly sings, "why di fightin' sensimelia / mekin' way fah coke to come" – is having these type of conversations certainly raises questions, but it does not tell a complete story. Some people who are sympathetic to his case suggest he was presented with an opportunity (by a paid informant) to commit a crime he otherwise would not commit. Others argue that having a conversation about selling drugs and not actually capitalizing on the drug trade should not be a crime because there is no victim or public health risk. It is more of a restriction on freedom of speech than anything else. Some maintain Banton was experiencing financial strain and perhaps would have been tempted by Johnson's offer. And then there are those who believe Banton fell victim to a most human trait: big talk. These defenders insist he entertained the conversation simply to project a certain image to his new friend.
Despite the variance in opinions and whatever his thinking was at the time, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa, Florida felt they had enough evidence to charge him with "conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine," along with a handful of other charges. The most controversial allegation related to possession of a firearm that was carried by Banton's associate, James Mack. Under the Pinkerton Rule, if Banton was found guilty of participating in a criminal conspiracy jurors could also hold him liable for Mack's gun. This charge was later thrown out because of jury misconduct and as of October 2015 the juror in question was charged with contempt for doing outside legal research during the trial.
One of the more surprising aspects of Banton's case was the incredible amount of support he experienced from both fans and people in Jamaica's music industry. His most outspoken supporters included the Marley family and dancehall heavyweight Spragga Benz. Stephen Marley even went as far as putting his South Florida home up as collateral for Banton's bail and testified as a character witness in the trial. Despite the star power, jurors clung to two pieces of the prosecutor's case, both of which stemmed from Banton and Johnson's conversations. Unbeknownst to him, Banton spent that entire flight talking, laughing and drinking with his new friend – who would ensure all their future meetings were under audio surveillance. And then there was also what some have called Banton's "Scarface" moment – a stunning video clip depicting him tasting "the product."
It is worth noting that while his case was centered on cocaine, the drug that really brought down Banton was alcohol. Nearly every conversation Banton had with Johnson about drug trafficking came after heavy drinking, and even on the day they entered the police-controlled warehouse housing 20 "keys," the duo met for lunch over margaritas beforehand. Banton later testified that when he was sober he felt uneasy about his friendship with "Junior" and even went as far as avoiding contact for four months while Johnson continued to call him regularly. The Miami New Times notes Banton was described in court as a braggart, "Yet at these meetings [with Johnson], Buju stumbled on details that might be common knowledge to an international drug trafficker. He mixed up kilos with pounds and underestimated certain costs. Johnson corrected him on several points."
Nonetheless, there were still plenty of juicy sound bites. The line that ultimately sealed his fate was a simple, "Yo, find out how much he wants." These six words made the surveillance viable evidence and ultimately became the focal point of the Fed's conspiracy case. Banton was painted as someone living a dual life – a reggae-singer by day and an international drug broker by night, someone who took the stage and logged studio hours but who also went around setting up major drug deals and taking a cut of the profits. Never mind the contradictory claims that emerged numerous times throughout the trial by lead prosecutor Jim Preston alleging that Banton was also somehow seeped in financial troubles of his own. Was he a Jamaican version of George Jung or a desperate opportunist hoping for some quick cash? The government never really made that part of their case clear. And they did not have to. The video footage of him taking a taste of white powder off a long knife like he was in an episode of Narcos was particularly damning. But again, should it have been? It was so cliché that it is hard to believe any experienced drug trafficker would reenact such theatrics.
On the day of the verdict, it seemed nearly anything could happen. How could someone with such an accomplished music career on the brink of a major revival get caught up in this type of conspiracy? This is a man who Stephen Marley testified under oath he has known for twenty years and never associated him with selling drugs, so why now? Why Buju?
There are no simple answers to these questions. If anything, this case highlights the pitfalls and trappings of the government's use of confidential informants and the war on drugs more broadly. Banton was ultimately convicted of three of the four charges brought against him, while his alleged co-conspirators Ian Thomas and James Mack accepted plea deals to testify against him. They were sentenced to four and six-year deals respectively, while Banton – Alexander Johnson's proverbial "big fish" – was slapped with ten years mandatory. His supporters have remained steadfast, however. Come January 2019, he will be released and deported back to Jamaica where reggae fans are already anticipating his arrival.
In the meantime, though, one of the island's most beloved singers has been incarcerated and silenced for spoken words of the same ilk as an entire subgenre of American music. There is no disillusion that trap music's popularity is rooted in tall tales and fabricated boasts about drug dealing. Rappers like Rick Ross have even built an entire persona around a real drug dealer's legacy, yet despite the federal government's inability to prove that the claims about Banton were true or that he even stood to gain financially from the deal, he will spend a decade behind bars. Buju Banton was essentially tried and convicted for trying to impress a stranger. It is so surreal a case that it begs a question: Had it not ensnared one of reggae's most significant voices, might it otherwise have been overlooked and examined far less critically?
As Banton serves out the rest of his sentence, very little has changed in regards to the government's dependence on confidential informants in drug cases. In Palm Beach County, Florida for instance – a little more than three hours away from where Banton was arrested – a recent information breach by a spokesman for West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio revealed an unprecedented amount of information about the DEA and local departments use of C.I.'s in drug stings. The revelation was so damning that local and federal officials have since admitted that numerous on-going cases were compromised and they are concerned that their informants' lives could be at risk. This is but one example of how the C.I. policy can undermine its stated goals.
For Buju Banton it seems as if time has slowed. Aside from periodic news stories relating to his case, like the controversy over the juror who overstepped her boundaries by doing extrajudicial research, or the excitement that bubbles over when fans believe a new single has leaked, it is rare that he is framed as a P.O.W. in the war on drugs. Even more startling, one would think that such a high-profile case would present a prime opportunity to challenge the status quo regarding drug policy, but it has not. Many forget that he wakes up each morning in a privately operated correction facility in McRae, Georgia, where he will remain confined until the beginning of 2019.
Banton once sang, "It's not an easy road / Many see the glamour and the glitter / And think it's a bed of rose/ who feels it knows / Lord help me sustain these blows." These words now hold eerie relevance given his incarceration. It has indeed become a very difficult road, but one that Banton has chosen to make the best of. He is currently working on his master's degree in political science and economics, and continues to write songs at a prolific rate. He is expected to have multiple albums worth of material finished by the time that he is finally released. More Burnin' and Lootin':

October is Fair Trade Month! As members of the Fair Trade Federation, we are dedicated to 360° fair trade. 360° means we work with artisans in partnerships built on trust. It means good wages, safe working conditions, environmental responsibility, and more. It means our partners are empowered to build strong businesses for their families today – and for generations to come. Do you have any misconceptions about Fair Trade?
Myth: Fair trade is about paying developed world wages in the developing world.
Reality: Wages are designed to provide fair compensation based on the true cost of production, and are not based on North American wage standards. Fair wages are determined by a number of factors, including:
- The amount of time, skill, and effort involved in production
- Minimum and living wages where products are made
- The purchasing power in a community or area
- Other costs of living in the local context
Myth: Fair trade siphons off American jobs to other countries.
Reality: Fair trade seeks to improve the lives of the poorest of the poor who frequently lack alternative sources of income. Most fair trade craft products stem from cultures and traditions which are not represented in North American production.
Myth: Fair trade is anti-globalization.
Reality: International exchange lies at the heart of fair trade. 360° Fair Trade Organizations seek to maximize the positive elements of globalization that connect people, communities, and cultures through products and ideas. At the same time, they seek to minimize the negative elements that result in lower labor, social, and environmental standards which hide the true costs of production.
Myth: Fair trade is a form of charity.
Reality: 360° fair trade promotes positive and long-term change through trade-based relationships which build self-sufficiency. Its success depends on independent, successfully-run organizations and businesses–not on handouts. While many fair trade organizations support charitable projects in addition to their work in trade, the exchange of goods remains the key element of their work.

We imagine a day where empowering families to build financial security and reach their financial goals is the norm, and not the exception, in anti-poverty programs.
Strong early results in our local Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) programs have generated consistent inbound inquiries from organizations across the country interested in replicating or adapting elements of our model into their own FSS programs. In response to this demand, Compass has launched a three-year national demonstration, working with mission-aligned partners to expand access to our FSS program model in cities across the U.S. Partners in this national network receive training, technical assistance, and access to Compass's financial education content and coaching tools, as they seek to incorporate asset building and financial capability strategies into their FSS programs. A critical, additional goal of the network is to foster learning and connection among organizations involved in this work.
Current Partners
- The Community Builders, a national nonprofit real estate developer
- Community Services League (CSL), a regional non-profit organization based in Independence, Missouri
- MaineHousing, the state housing authority serving communities throughout Maine
- Portland Housing Authority, the public housing authority of Portland, Maine
- Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), a national nonprofit housing organization
- Springboard to Opportunities, a nonprofit organization based in Jackson, Mississippi
If you are a current network partner, click here to access the National FSS Network web portal.

Alice had a very fun extended birthday! On Thursday (her birthday), Ryan had to work until 8:00, so we didn't plan any festivities for the day. But Alice was still awake when Ryan got home, so we broke out a few little gifts.
On Friday she opened the rest of the gifts, and on Saturday we had her party. She really enjoyed all aspects of her birthday (well, except for when I had to wake her up because our friends were here for the party).
Perhaps every mother has thought this, but on Alice's birthday, I thought, "Wait a minute . . . Alice gets all these presents and the day is all about her. But what about me? Shouldn't we celebrate that I carried her for 9 months and then I went through a bunch of hurts to get her into this world? And then I had to recover for weeks? And then my body fed her for a year. And there were/are so many sleepless nights . . . Birthdays should be for mommas. Celebrate that Momma made it." But, birthdays are not for mommas. Mom, next birthday, know that I'm thinking of you.
Anyway, the main point is that we have a one-year-old! How did that happen? On her birthday, we looked back at pictures of her REAL birthday, you know, her birth day. She was so small and helpless. And she slept so much and didn't get into anything. Or do anything for that matter. My, what changes we've seen in 365 days. We love being parents.

|Alice's friend came over on her birthday. She loved showing him her toys.
|Then she just kinda followed him around the rest of the time.
|Obsessing over him . . .
|Doing her endearing forehead bump to him . . .
|Turns out he likes markers too!
|One more forehead bump. She may have knocked him over, but he took it like a champ.
|They got this crazy idea to do a performance for me.
"You play, and I'll lead, okay?"
|"K, but first let me find my music."
|"Alright, there it is, I'm ready."
It was very cute.
|When Daddy got home from work, we opened a few presents.
She loved these maracas so much that she didn't really care about anything else.
|Selfie attempt with the 1 year, 1 day old girl (and a 35 mm lens . . .)
|That's better.
|Picking out another book.
|Good choice--we always hoped she'd be the outdoorsy type.
|She opened most of her presents the day after her birthday.
She demonstrated great skill at ripping the paper off and finding the contents.
|She really obsessed over the dishes from Grandpa Scott and Grandma Ann, just as we suspected she would.
|Mom and Dad got her a school bus from a big toy store in NYC.
|Swimming in clothes from Grandma Lori and Grandpa Luke
|This is an awesome book with animals and mirrors. She loves it!
|Nothing's quite as fun as toy vegetables . . .
|"What's this? You cleaned up my dishes and put
them on the chair in a very orderly manner?"
|"Let me fix that."
|"You're welcome."
|The haul. It was too much work to try and set it up nice for a picture because she kept getting into everything. She seriously loved it all, and stayed up later than normal that night because she was just having fun playing by herself.
The Birthday Party
We invited some friends to come over for dinner and cupcakes. We all had a great time together! The weather was perfect, so we ate out in the backyard. Then we went inside so the babies could play and then we had cupcakes.
|Taco salad dinner
|I was really excited to try out some fancy cupcake recipes. They were actually pretty delicious if I may say so myself! These were peanut butter chocolate swirl cupcakes.
|Lemon Poppyseed Tart cupcakes
|Alice was a bit grumpy since she had just woken up.
We went outside to eat, and she just stood there for about 2 minutes while we tried desperately to get a smile out of her.
It was the longest she's ever stood!
|Showing her buddies the new toys
|D thought the dish sponge was pretty hilarious.
|Happy family!
|At first she ripped off dainty little bites.
|It didn't take long for her to get into it, though. We loved how she was licking her lips over and over again.

|Victory smile
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
