Tuesday's Tidings for September 16, 2014

1. My kids get their creative genes from their father. I can't draw or color or paint at all. But my kids, astound me all the time with how good they are quickly becoming. Lately, Grace and Eden have been working on drawing people and Eden drew this picture of herself wearing the same outfit. The detail she drew into the shirt is really good. Kids, I'm not just saying that because she is my child-she honestly is, really talented! It's no wonder she wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up. :)

2 Yesterday, Josh and I got the opportunity to go out for a date night! We went and saw

6. After watching The Hundred-Foot Journey Sunday evening, Josh and I decided to finally go and eat at La Provence. We were familiar with their pastries because they have a stand at our local farmer's market, but hadn't yet tried one of their restaurants. Oh, my! I dare say that I would go eat there any day of the week vs. going to Portland City Grill. The restaurant was just our style, the petite entrees are spectacular and allow you the chance to try several different dishes-one of our favorites of the night was definitely the seared scallops with summer coulis. But then for dessert-we also indulged. The Versailles cake was out of this world good. So chocolatey, but so silky-light! I originally thought it would be a great dessert for Josh because of the coffee mousse, but I was surprised how much I loved it! Seriously, out of this world good.

7. I'm thinking that I need to make this casserole.

8. Did you hear Gilmore Girls is finally on Netflix??? How awesome is that! I love that show!!

9. Favorite thing about fall? Go!

10. I'm thinking about taking the plunge, breaking my vow, and decorating for fall since Josh will be gone for the majority of the work week. What do you think?
