A nice day consisting of yummy “Chimichangas”:http://chicken.allrecipes.com/az/ChicknChimichngs.asp and yummy “Lemonade Party Cake”:http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/Recipe.aspx?recipeId=36276 and a nice day of relaxation (between allergy meds wearing off), knitting on the Father’s Day surprise, that me and the 2 older girls have been working on (since we can now work on it in front of him: !http://photos16.flickr.com/20358947_13848e65e9_m.jpg(aran afghan)!:http://flickr.com/photos/starzabove/20358947/ They are…
