Disney Days ... Again

 I'm fully aware that most of the time when I leave my house, it's to go to Disneyland. 

I'm okay with that. 

I went today with Husband and Avenue, we scored a last minute reservation to Blue Bayou, so we made a morning of the day. Of course we had to snap pics in Blue Bayou, it was Avenue's first time! 


Then, since we were already here, we spent the afternoon riding some rides and having a great time.

Sherlock Holmes Lego

 They have these new Lego sets that are called "Book Nook" Lego sets, and they're a famous book series, looking like a book, with a tiny scene inside. Today's set was a Sherlock Holmes one. 




So dang fun!

Bestie Birthdays

 Tomorrow is the birthday of my new(ish, not really new anymore) friend in Cali, Avenue. We chose to hit up Disney for the day. 


It was SO HOT all day. SO HOT. We were absolutely dripping in sweat, but it was such a fun day!

Small Lego Sets

 Every time I finish a larger set, I do a few smaller sets, to at least feel like I'm making progress through my backlog. I did a few the last day or so: 



Too cute, too cute.

Lego Atari

 I finally finished the Lego Atari tonight! I say finally because it felt like it took forever even though I really only worked on it for a week or so haha. 



I love it so.

An Attempt at Victoria sponge

 A friend and I have decided to form a baking club, and each month (we're already in a book club, the dates coincide) we will make a new dessert and then try it whilst we have our book club. This month, we chose Victoria sponge cake. 

It wasn't too hard at all! I homemade the jam, ordered a fancy English sugar from Amazon, I was ready. I then made the cake, got it all cooled down and ready to frost, and started to finish the last step of putting the buttercream between the layers of the cake. As I was finishing up, my frosting bag blew, the tip flew out, and my hand punched into the cake. It resulted in mayhem. 



Now, did I let this stop me from eating it? Of course not, it was super delicious, despite looking like trash.
