The Cake and a Swing Set

We finally had a weekend of decent weather and we were able to get outside to assemble the swing set that my parents got the kids for Christmas. It was a big job, which we knew it would be, and a huge thank you goes out to Ray and my Dad, who did most of the work. It is mostly done now, with just a couple of things left to put together. Emmy, especially, is SO excited!












































Also, here is a picture of the lion cake I decorated for Emmy's friend's birthday party - the flash washed out a lot of the detail, but it turned out pretty cute!

Just a Quick Note to Say....

It has been a busy week! I have been watching my friend's little boy, Mr. K, who just turned 2 all week, and it may turn into a permanent gig in a couple of months, which I am excited about. I haven't been doing daycare for several months now, since we thought that we were moving to Chicago and Baby R's mom enrolled her in preschool. So, it is nice to have Mr. K here - he and Pooky have been running around together all week and it has been fun.

Aside from that, we have all been battling colds, and Emmy is running a fever now. The puppy, Ellie, is driving me bananas, doing regular puppy things, and I just haven't had the extra time this week to deal with it.

I am making a cake for my friend's daughter's birthday party tomorrow. It is a lion cake, to match the jungle theme of the party. I will post pictures later. ;)

And I have to report for jury duty at our tiny town's municipal court tonight at 7:00 pm. Who has jury duty at 7:00 a night?? I think it is weird.

Looking forward to the weekend...
