Especially in these winter months, they often seem to go together! The past 8 days have been interesting ... starting with a ride consisting of >10,000 ft of climbing (70 miles), and then a 'attempt to break every PB you have set over the last year' week! This means beating every Personal Best from 5 seconds to 3 hours (i have lost count of how many). And I did it too! I didn't beat all of them, of course ... but i beat more than 70% of them, and made a really good try at the others! It was a tough week, and it feels great to be done. Oh, and of course the last few were fueled by pink cupcakes ... don't laugh ... keep reading :)
The weekend brought some baking ... Emily has been asking for Pink Cupcakes all week ... let me explain. She has a 'pink counting purse' book which has 8 cupcakes on the Number Eight page ... thanks aunt Jenn ;-) So she's been pulling out her 'counting purse' book and opening to page eight, and asking 'please'. Every day. No, more like several times a day :)
On Thursday Em had a fever and was still asking for cupcakes. So I made a promise for pink cupcakes on the weekend ... and so we made pink cupcakes ... and bread ... and taco soup .. and popsicles!!! Fun weekend, even though little Em was a bit sick (still has a cough)
