My attempt at creativity...

So I thought I'd be brave like the lion...hee hee. D has his fall festival tomorrow and I've volunteered to bring cupcakes. I wanted to make something fun, so I checked on one of my fav sites Awesome cupcakes to check for some ideas. I found this adorable lion


Looks pretty easy right???!!!! Ha... after multiple attempts, mishaps with the icing tool (it wouldn't work well *****$#%@!#%@!) I tried to use a plastic bag to put the icing on.. well it exploded and luckily landed on a cupcake. Thus, I have one pumpkin cupcake! :) Verdict is that I half way succeeded! I think the kids will like them anyway. I had fun! I can't wait for D to wake up in the morning and see them!This is my 1st attempt:

My 2nd attempt:
My 3rd attempt:
The finished product:
At first my new job wasn't going to allow me to take a few hours off to go to D's festival. I wasn't happy at all. then they suggested that I could trade days with the other girl, therefore I worked Mon. and am off tomorrow so that I can help at the school. Thank goodness. They are having multiple activities for the kids and food of course! I am looking forward to it. I just hope my job doesn't stay so strict with out any flexibility....that won't work for me at all!! We'll just have to wait and see.

Tim and Amanda are closing on their house here tomorrow also. We are very excited for them. We will actually be able to walk to their house! They plan to get a pool so that's even better that we'll be able to just pack a bag and walk on over! Even a few drinks on a summer night and we won't have to worry about drinking and driving......just drinking and walking! My in laws are due to arrive in town tomorrow to help with the moving in. I have decided to move Bry's bday party up one week so that they won't have to drive up again next weekend. I am doing the Barney theme! I have bought a few decorations, and I was going to order a cake but I've decided to stretch my creativity again and make my own cake. I'll post pics. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, should be interesting!

Bry tagged along to a bday party with Dev and I to Chuck E Cheese for one of Dev's classmates. B was pretty scared at first and didn't know what to think. Of course after some observations of big bro putting money in machines and tickets popping out he caught on fast. He just liked to put money in and collect tickets even though he had no idea what they were for :) gotta love it! I was a little nervous about taking both boys there by myself(Hubby had a meeting). But they did excellent and I was very proud of them. It was easier than I thought it would be keeping up with them in the commotion of all the other kids running around. They are such good boys!!!!!!They both had a wonderful time and were exhausted when we got home from the sugar rush, dancing with Chuck E and playing all the games.

My husband and brother convinced my dad into getting an RC car. Very cool! He needed a hobby, right Dee?! I can't wait to see him driving it! They'll probably have him into the helicopters and boats soon! Watch out Dad!:)

Amanda is doing good with the preggo. She goes to the Dr. next week ( my OB here) I think they will be sheduling her an ultrasound. I can't wait to find out if we are going to have a boy or girl cousin for the boys! Very exciting. She'll prob have a baby half the size mine were. She's tiny! Almost 5 months along and just barely a pooch going on.......yes I'm a hater!!! hee hee

Got my little piggy today that I ordered for a cousin and his wife that just had a baby girl. A friend of mine gave me one when I had B, then I just gave one to some friends that had a baby boy. This was the first girl piggy I've ordered from her and I must say it's simply adorable. The woman that hand paints these piggies is in her 70's!! She does an amazing job! I love the personalized gifts... here are a few pics....the detail is amazing.... I know they'll love it!


That's all for now.... more this weekend! Happy Friday to all!!
