I didn’t have many meals planned this past week because I went to my parents’ house on Thursday for the whole weekend. Kyle was busy with work on Tuesday and Thursday (which kept him out late at night) so we celebrated my birthday on Wednesday.  We had a simple thing at market, which was SO FUN.  The weather was good, the babies were all together, and Kyle got two dozen cupcakes (vegan and gluten free) from The Plum Bakery in Sac which were delicious.
