Its long but there are pictures :D

This week was CRAAAAAAZY!! This weekend is only a little less pressure but it will all be fun so that makes it better. I am really looking forward to monday already. I don't have a plan and I think thats what I am excited for. So heres just a tiny bit of what I've been up to. I have been very domestic and creative, its fun to do that sometimes.


First up, the card I made for Coopers teachers birthay. I'm the room mom so I have to figure this stuff out. The best part was that I just used a bunch of scraps from some recent scrapbooking, I only had to cut about 3 of these patchwork pieces. I would have liked to use some ribbons or silk flowers, but I forced myself to just stop with this. It is a jumbo card, it is a piece of posterboard folded in half, so that was fun. I took it to recess today and had the whole class sign the inside. She liked it (I think). had another mom bring cupcakes for the kids and we had a candle and sang to her. It was fun, and the kids loved it of course.




I also made her her favorite soup(which doubled as our family meal last night-I was multitasking!) It is SO SO yummy, potato cheese. The kids hated it, I have managed not to eat very much but it is hard to resist.




My other project was Cade's football birthday cake. It was a little late last night when I finished it, so the yard lines are WAY off, but the concept was good. The boys all thought it was cool, so thats all I cared about. His party was after school today. It turned out really good. A couple of the kids couldn't come, but the ones who did had a blast. They are a bunch of football junkies. They would still be playing now if the parents hadn't come pried them out of here. Football and pizza, every man's dream, starting at about age 11, right?? LOL He got nice presents and Mark reeally went over the top and got him a PSP, which I think he never dreamed he would get. He is in watching Ghostbusters on it right now. He is really loving it. Cade is such a cutie.



THis is him opening his PSP, he has never had a nice electronic before, so it was HUGE!



I can't believe my kids are getting so big. 11 years old?? I swear there is no way he is that old. Some of his friends are so funny. His cousin was there tonight and most of the boys don't know him very well because he going to a different school. So Cole asks "who's your mom??" He pops right back with "Oh, you're too young for her" Mark and I were cracking up. I couldn't wait to tell his mom what he said. She about died, it was so funny. Of course his mom is a cute little blond thing. I swear, the older they get the more they can crack me up sometimes. Especially when they are interacting with their friends. I'm sad Cade is growing up so quick, (he gets the puberty talk this year...YIKES!) but I'm trying to just enjoy it!
