stuff i've made

i've had a pretty productive weekend in the 'making stuff' department. things i made included:
1. made a fort! technically, alex and corrie made most of the fort but i assisted with the design and a few odds and ends. (weigels are master fort makers- the key is to flip your couch so the back of it is facing the ceiling. this obviously only works with certain types of couches, but if you can do this, i highly recommend it.)
2. homefries and banana chocolate chip/butterscotch chip pancakes. which were eaten in the fort. obviously.
3. a giant mess. seriously. our kitchen/living room was trashed with fort supplies/crafty things.
4. valentines for the valentines swap!
5. a rainbow vegan cake for the beautiful and grown-up, christine. (i found the recipe here. it was so super easy and it looks craaazzzyyyyyy. god bless food coloring.)
6. new mittens! and hi 5 minutes at that. i'm excited for the impending snow because i'll get to break out these bad boys.

woooo hooooo!
tonight shall be full of catching up on homework and filling out applications. after a weekend of forts and children's movies (though i seriously don't think return to oz should be considered a children's movie. . . ) and rainbow cakes and crafts, it's time for grown-up things. sweet goddamn. i shake my fist at age.
