Life:

She is definitely a 'tween' and has discovered a love for shopping! I love it that she is not too cool to let loose and act silly - as seen trying on a killer wig!

Nick worked really hard on his visual aids, report and displays for the third grade Animal Fair. One of the greatest things about our school district is that they try to foster children's independence from parents 'helping' with their work. They completed 100% of this project at school, including creating their own silk screen for a tee shirt. The only thing I did was iron it on so he could wear it for the fair.
The hubby was not surprisingly out of town for our 13th anniversary (old! ugh!) No pics but I made him his very own anniversary cookies! We are celebrated with a dinner at our favorite restaurant 'Not Your Average Joe's'.
For YEARS I have TRIED to make impressive cakes. This is yet another example of a failed attempt that that was created to celebrate the birthday of a good friend. Hey - it tasted good!
Roller skating with the kiddo's was tons of hilarious fun! I wasn't able to take many pics as at least two of the three offspring were clinging to various parts of my body at all times!
