Cake blog

finally did it! here is the link if you are intrested. I will be posting more pics tonight

Cake!

I spent the past week making a cake for one of my close friend's kids. It is a ballet cake,I need to get on here and post some pics, although I think I may start a blog or website for my cakes too. It has bee CRAZY here lately, like we had some new additions to the family, Sheldon, and Aflac.. Ducks.. J crawls around chasing them saying, "ck mommy, ck" trying to say duck. We took E to ride Thomas and he LOVED it, and my grandmother had a mild stroke, and we found out she has cancer. While she was in the hospital I was able to spend quality time with my sisters, as they stayed with me for a week... Yeh, 4 kids are A LOT of work. This week though I was able to go hang out with D.. Never knew how badly she needed some more cowbell, or how she really felt about gel caps, was SO good to get out and have some grownup time. Both of my boys are down for a nap right now so I am loving the peace in my house. Not making any promises about when I will post, I haven't even thought about what we are having for dinner...

He FINALLY came home!

Well DH was out of town on business all last week, which always makes for a FUN time... NOT! The only upside was my friend C stayed with me and the boys. Well, of course, the kids got sick... Not easy sick like a green nose, the barfing kind.

Yippie!

E had it first, poor thing was sooo sick, then two days later J had it, although not as bad. THANK GOD! All the while I had to make the rock star cake, which I think turned out well. I'll post pics later.

Needless to say we were GLAD for daddy to be home! We played hookie on Sunday from church just to catch up and the kids to see him before work on Monday. Monday night, DH started not feeling so well, and low and behold he has a stomach bug. Sicker than I have ever seen him. All the while I am praying, " Dear God, PLEASE don't let me get it!" So far so good, looking foward to the weekend so our fam can have some time together!

Yup, fairly non intresting as far as a blog post goes. But, always an adventure here!

AH! I found the spell check, but I have to use the old editor. Well this week has been busy, Running, running! I am so excited I am doing my first paying cake next week, a rockstar cake. Not much to post. Will try to post a better update soon!

Nothingness

Wow! The past few days have been a swirled mix of a 3 yr old who is trying my patience, a 1 yr old who is cutting THREE teeth, and PMS..... NOT a good mix! So I ordered some school books for E, maybe a little more structure will help him level out. I've just had the wanna goes lately, where I just want to go run the roads kid free for a night, or even better yet, a weekend away with my sweet husband. This weekend 2 more kids are added to our mix, my little sisters are staying here with us while our parents work. R is 9 years old, and LG is 6, but the up side to that is the girls keep my boys entertained, they LOVE playing together. Maybe I will catch a break after all? Who knows?

Handsome Princes and Yellow Snow

This is a little late, but hey I am posting it! My sweet little J had his first birthday party this is a picture of his cake. My mom and I made it.

We had lots of people at our house. It was pure insanity, I LOVED IT! We had a whole bunch of balloons blown up, they were a hit.

I think our sweet little prince had a wonderful birthday!

Well I guess the Devil is giving out sleigh rides, cause the Saints won the Super Bowl, and it has snowed 4 times here in the deep south this year. I can't believe it... We really got a snow! 5 inches is a WHOLE LOT here, where it is usually shorts and flip flop weather by now. Oh well maybe by next week, if you don't like the weather here it changes every day, seriously! 5 inches of snow one day, 2 days later it is like 70 degrees outside. NUTS! The boys loved playing in the snow, and each even had their own snow man.

Well we played outside forever, and E says, "Mommy, I have to go pee pee..." and I think GREAT, now I have to haul them both in, before could get J up and inside E has pulled his pants down and is trying to go pee with snow covered mittens... He said "Mommy my booty is so cold." I asked him to please hurry up before someone drives by or a peesicle forms or something. Well a little while later he starts running around the yard picking up bunches of snow eating it, over in that general area. At that moment I said a phrase that I never thought I would say with out it being a joke.... "DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" To which he responds... "But why?" I wanted to do the Doh! head slap... I gave him a very clarifing answer... "Ask your Dad!" Maybe he learned a life lesson that day, I sure did... Boys will try to eat anything...

P.S. If anyone knows how to spellcheck in blogger please let me know!

Update!

Well, Thank God the boys have stayed well for a while, even after being exposed to a stomach bug on several occasions. Also, finally made it home from the coast on Feb. 6th, in time for our Super Bowl party and to watch the Saints win! After I finished that I have been working on the bonnets and aprons for a friend of mine's childs birthday. That is kinda a sore subject. She sorta expects me to still help her decorate and do all that while she planned the party while I will be out of town... Niiiiiiiiiiice. So I have been busting my tail to get 11 bonnets and aprons done by Thurs. She seems to turn her nose up at any shortcut I try. Oh well! I have discovered a few, and decided that I will not be consulting her, since I am making them just to be nice. Also she has had an attitude with me lately. But, that is a whole nother story. Josiah has been babbling more and more, and Elijah has been as stubborn as ever.

Then on to Valentine's day, my sweet honey did very well with my gift! He knows how much I love the beach, well he got a palm tree, chocolate, a book, and some sand with a glass bottle stuck in it with the most amazing letter in it. So very sweet. I will try to post more often, but, I am not making any promises!
