This morning Munchkin started screaming in her bed.  I ran upstairs and into her room to find out what was wrong.  She was still half asleep so I woke her up and asked what was wrong.  Did she have a bad dream, all she kept saying was "No! Ian no take my bike!"

LadyBug's First Time Sitting Up Alone

Fairy Adventure

Today the kiddos and I had a fairy adventure.  We walked to the Bus stop to meet Aaron coming home from work and on the way blazed a trail through imaginary forests fraught with danger.  Telephone Pole Giants and Tree Stump Trolls lurked the woods.  Tree branches and weeds turned in to Monster Tentacles, and traffic signs became Ogres.   Through it all Princes Aislyn and I were protected by a Fairy Munchkin and a Pirate Champion.

Favorite Friend

This Morning I asked Munchkin who her favorite friend was. She looked a bit thoughtful and so I asked if Monkey-Monk was her favorite friend?

"No" she said. 

 "Oh is Adah your favorite friend?" 

 "No" 

So I asked "so who is you favorite friend?" 

 She sat thoughtfully for a few minutes then got really excited and pointed at me! 

"I'm your favorite friend?!" I asked

 "Yeah!" she yelled

and I teared up a little bit.

Daniel Cake

This year for Melissa's Birthday I had a hard time coming up with a way to decorate a Cheese Cake (she is not a fan of cake ) in a fun way with something she loves.  So I kept thinking what does Melissa Love? What does Melissa Love?  The answer....

Daniel :) 

 

It took some effort to make, I started with a photo of Daniel from their wedding, cropped it, changed it to black and white, upped the contrast, and still wasn't feeling like it was just what I wanted so my fabulously talented brother James did his magic and got it perfect.   Then my also very talented hubby cut it out for me with an Exacto knife, I baked the cheesecake, frosted it, and sifted cocoa powder on top through the stencil. It took some effort but I think it was worth it!  :)

Hungry Catipillar Cake

This year for Bethany's Birthday I made a Hungry Caterpillar Cake.  I made all the fondant décor myself :)  I was so excited with the way it turned out.
