It's a Brand New Day

It was a beautiful morning today. (Not that this was taken at sunrise on a Sunday morning... don't be silly!) This picture was actually taken on Friday morning before work... I was still asleep at 7am today, since the dog let us sleep in. But I bet it probably looked a little like this...

Eric had a wonderful idea for breakfast this morning. He even made it! He said his mom used to make this when he was a kid. French Toast with powered sugar and cinnamon.

You make French Toast as normal... and then once it's cooked, you cut each slice diagonally. Then put them in a paper lunch bag that is filled with a yummy powdered sugar/cinnamon mixture, then you shake it all up. The powdered sugar mixture coats the French Toast...

And looks a little something like this. Ours wasn't the prettiest thing ever, but boy was it delicious! And very, very sugary. Mmmm...

And this afternoon Alex had a basketball game. He's been playing in the Liverpool Optimist Club's basketball program. Until today, his team was undefeated. They were missing 4 of their players today and had beaten this team previously. I guess you can't win them all!

Alex is #5. He says he likes basketball ok... but he can't wait to be able to participate in Indoor Track next year when he gets to High School. So this will be his first and last basketball season...

But at least he's keeping busy and having fun too!

Speaking of fun, I have been super busy for the last month at work. (Hey, I can talk about work now that the blog is private!) Anyway... we revamped our morning talk show. We... err, I... created a new look for the show and they got new hosts and everything. The debut is tomorrow morning. I'm kind of excited about it. It's been a fun (but stressful) month getting everything ready. So if you live around here and can watch, check it out! Or you can check the website. www.9wsyr.com and click on the Bridge Street Link. The new look for the web will also debut tomorrow. They usually post all the segments to the web at some point after the show. I hope it all goes smoothly! And I know I can't wait to have time to take lunch breaks again... oh, wait... sweeps starts Thursday. Nevermind!
