Neighborhood Field Trip to the Fire Station

Ready to go!

Firemen, Firemen, let us in.

Handmade Ties

 

 Sorry, no link for these. I just made a practice one using ties that fit each of them and went from there.  But there are lots of tie ideas out there, like here.

Double Jogger!!!

For the past few weeks, I have been watching these cuties a few times a week.

Two two-year-olds and two one-year-olds can be a little much at times, as I am sure you can imagine.
But as a result I am the THRILLED owner of this beauty:

I really love this town (I can say that now that it is not winter anymore.)  I think I would be happy to live here forever.  There are so many old houses here, and I think they are so enchanting.  Here are a few shots of our adventures on our first drive out with my new "baby."

On the way home, we stopped at the University Dairy Store.  Bug had his first Root beer float with Dad, and Bear shared icecream with me.  He ate most of it....rigggght. 

Grad Party

Three of our friends on the street are graduating next week, so we had a party and I got to practice some of the new things I have been learning in my cake class! 

Buttercream is sooo much easier than fondant...and cheaper too.  I really don't like the taste of the Wilton buttercream, but it is perfect for decorating with so I combined it with some store bought cream cheese frosting to cover the cake and it tasted TONS better. 

If you don't know anything about Husker football, then you won't get the "Blackshirts" on the side of the cake. Bondy and I have season tickets for the games next year!!! Sellout crowd since 1962.

                                                                  We are going to miss you guys! It has been such a fun year.

                

Books are just as good, even if they are upside down.

Crayon Roll

Here is a crayon roll I made for Bug using the tutorial found at Skip to My Lou. Okay, so I actually didn't use the pattern because I despise patterns unless absolutely necessary, but here's the link if you're a pattern fan.

Garage Sale=Zoo Pass

We had a garage sale with some friends on our street a couple of weekends ago, and decided to use our profits for an Annual Zoo Pass. The weather was perfect and the boys were happy. Spending time with Daddy is the best.
