Another great dinner idea! Beef roast with sauteed mushrooms and onions, creamed spinach, and steamed carrots made the plate. It was so good!!

Tonight seemed like a very good night to watch the Olympics. The coverage started off with beach volleyball, then swimming and then gymnastics. Guys gymnastics.

Tonight, the event to watch was the Women's Gymnastics team competition - and the team, including Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas, did not disappoint! It was great to watch the Fab 5 perform SO well!

On one of Jannette's first days off she decided that she should probably clean up her room. One of the projects to draw the cleaning out however, was to put together a model of the Eiffel Tower. It does look good on the dresser though!! :)

The Olympics have officially begun!!! :) Tonight, like many other people around the world, we sat down and engrossed ourselves in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2012 London XXX Olympiad! We couldn't decide on just one shot - so today is a 3-for-1....

 The awesome London Bridge - complete with the beautiful Olympic rings....

 Pretty, sparkly rings!

Today, Jennifer tried out another recipe she discovered on Pinterest! These are Doctor Oz's Chocolate Protein Cookies and they weren't too bad. A little on the dry side - but just enough chocolate to squash a little bit of a craving.

Jennifer went out to visit Megan and E in Walkertown. Megan had previously told Jennifer about a cupcake shop located in the neighboring city of Kernersville, NC called Cakes and All Things Yummy so they took a trip to check it out. Jennifer decided to pick up a few treats for Jannette - starting in the top right and moving clockwise you have cherry limeade, pineapple coconut, fluffernutter peanut butter, and lastly, key lime! We'll see if they're as tasty as they look.
