I woke up today thinking it was Friday and figured out was Thursday. After I dropped my kids off for their second to last day of school, I decided I was going to take it easy. The Iz and I got breakfast and I treated myself to a mocha from Starbucks. Instead, when I got home I worked on bills and a load of laundry. After a while I made up my mind for us to get out of the house and go to a movie.
We went to see Shrek Forever After. It was really cute and Isabelle enjoyed it a lot. We just had a Shrek/McDonalds House Party which was a lot of fun. House Party sent us a lot of great stuff for a get together ~ Shrek 3 DVD, Shrek plates, cups, glasses like the ones at McDonald’s, a gift card to get McD’s nuggets and other food, Happy Meal boxes and Shrek Happy Meal toys. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed all the great things House Party and McDonalds sent us. Check them out and sign up! There are always great parties/events to apply for as a host!
I’ve still been crocheting when I can ~ lots of smallers things right now as I am having some issues with my right arm. I think I have a pinched nerve. I imagine that will involve a trip to the orthopedic or chiropractor one of these days! I am loving Granny Squares and flowery coasters.
And lastly, I finished my first course with Wilton’s Cake Decorating. Melissa and I took it at the Hobby Lobby and really enjoyed it! It gives me a whole new appreciation for all those decorated cakes I have bought over the last few years!
It will be another busy week with the kids getting out of school. We’ll have 2 months of summer and then they will be back. One in middle school, one in high school and the little one starting Pre-K! Wow!

As if I didn’t have enough hobbies already, I have been taking Wilton’s cake decorating classes with my friend Melissa.
I love it!
It’s a lot harder than it looks to make all those pretty decorations but lots of fun!
My husband loves the treats, but just shakes his head at my new hobby!
I don’t know if I could ever make a living making cakes and such, as it is very hard work, but it will be fun to make and decorate cakes and cupcakes for my kids and friends!
And I am still crocheting like crazy too! Love the quick satisfaction projects like coasters, scrubbies and washclothes! So many fun patterns out there!
Here are some pics of what I have done so far. I imagine many more will follow over time.
