Ms. G's Birthday

Our little G turned 2 this year!

Here is a picture of the cake I made for her second birthday:


Now, I am no cake decorator...but I do believe this is a fine cake. I hated to eat it!

Father's Day

I am not very imaginative when it comes to gift giving and such. Personally...I can't stand fathers or mothers day. Another holiday to just buy needlessly. The kids got daddy:



And I got the daddy:


I do enjoy giving gifts...even if I am not good at it.

While Aunties Away...the Kids'll Play

Aunt J was gone for a little under a month and if I ever left the door unlocked....THIS would happen:




It amazes me that if you turn your back for even a second with these children miraculous things happen!

See Ms. G!

She really does want to be a princess! :-)

Kitten Rescue

We (we being Frosdaddy, me, and our friends Lauren and Chris) were playing games and I kept hearing a "meow!" Finally I went outside (which is unusual...I don't go outside after dark...the cockroaches come out at night!) and found him stuck in our engine. We got him out and he has been with us ever since. He really is a beautiful cat...but I am not sure we can keep him! The kids love him.
Especially Gemma.

My Birthday

My birthday was eons ago but I wanted to blog about what my sweet hubby did! I was expecting something but I did not know what! So...Frosdaddy tells me that he has to go help someone move that morning! (yeah right, I saw right through that one)...then I get a knock on the door! Someone wants to take my kids away. It is OK though, I know who it is. They pass me my first clue which leads me to here:
This is The Daily Grind. There I meet my friend Stephy who had the next clue. It leads me to Sugar Magnolia where I then meet:
Rachael (and Frosdaddy pre-bought some yummy delicacies!) Rachael had our next clue which leads to Lauren and here:
Now that everyone is together our next clues lead us to a fun pottery place!
Here Frosdaddy prepaid to have us each paint a $10 piece. It was fun (and my favorite part of the hunt)

The woman then gave us our next clue which led to Olive Garden.
We ate dinner there and close to the end of our meal I was wondering how we were going to get the next clue and the waitress slipped the clue on our table. (She also wanted to know if my boyfriend (aka Frosdaddy aka MY husband) had a brother) Turns out Frosdaddy was only there minutes before we arrived describing our little group. The clue led us to a friend's home...where we each got a massage on the chair... The last clue was fun! It led us home where we got pampered by our hubby's (though only one could make it)...they massaged our feet and hands...painted our toes...and we ate popcorn and watched: When in Rome!

And of course we had yummy cake...chocolate! With Mockingjay Decor. It was my Hunger Games cake! Mockingjay cake! :-)

Toddler Bed Dread

We have moved Ms. G into her toddler bed. The nights have been rough...(especially since she shares a room with her siblings). They play for hours after bed time and she is always climbing into Ms. I's(top bunk) bed. Which terrifies me!! My overactive mind is thinking: "She will climb up and fall to her death below with a broken neck!!"

The other night Ms. I fell asleep first and Mr. L soon followed suit. Ms. G was up an hour after that quietly playing by herself. When all was quiet and I was about to head to bed...I enter their room to make sure they are not too hot or they are not sleeping in a weird position.

I enter and see Ms. G's bed is empty. My first thought: "She trapped herself in the closet and fell asleep when she could not get out!" I check the closet. No Ms. G. My second thought: "Mr. L was complaining that she was getting in his bed. She probably fell asleep with him." I check Mr. L's bed. No Ms. G. Then I look in Ms. I's bed and there she is fast asleep on TOP of her sister. (Ms. G is not a light creature.)

I snapped a picture:



The next morning I showed Ms. I the pictures. She did not even know Ms. G had fallen asleep in her bed...ON TOP OF HER! It was adorable.
