Second day of school back from spring break and still feels like a drab. It will take a couple of days to get back into the swing of things, no matter how much homework I have to get done.
Mom and I gave Doodle a bath tonight, not her most happiest of days…
To spice things up for this dull day, for dinner we made sweet potato fries with a fiery avocado aioli. As usual, my parents were pleasantly surprised with how great it tasted and we finished the whole plate off within minutes
