Baby Shower Cake

Picnic...nope...mom's patio...nope...Tasha's house

So this week we planned a family picnic at the park by our house. We were going to take our grill to the park and the adults would get to spend time together while the kids wore themselves out on the playground. When we planned this Mom told me that the weather was supposed to be really nice on Saturday. Well, Friday morning it started to rain and it pretty much poured all day and most of the night...so Friday night we decided that the park would be too muddy for a picnic so we would go to Mom's patio, have lunch then try to find a playground that wasn't muddy. By Saturday around 10 am...we had decided that Mom's patio was too wet...so we went to Tasha and Phil's house instead :-) The kids had a great time playing, Phil grilled for us, and we had lots of laughs. Here's some pics :-)

Justin's Cake

I can't sleep...so I'm on here...whatever. Justin's birthday party was this weekend. Tasha said he wanted a pokemon cake with chocolate cake. His favorite pokemon are Pikachu and Ash. Anyway I had worked the night before and it was a crazy, horrible shift so I was pretty much asleep when I decorated the cake. Luckily, apparently I can decorate a cake when I'm asleep :-) I wish it had turned out better...but Jason said that everyone at the party liked it...I went to bed after decorating the cake since I had to work that night too. Wish I could have been at the party...Oh well. Here are some pics of the cake. Sorry the close up is so blurry...I was so tired I forgot to change the setting on the camera so the picture would come out clear...ooops :-)

Adreyn's Drum Circle

Tonight was open house at school. Adreyn's grade also participated in a drum circle. It was pretty cool. All the kids sat in 3 circles and in front of them were mats with an instrument (several of them were different) on them. The teacher would play a rhythm and the kids would repeat it with their instruments. Periodically the kids would move over one space and use the new instrument. It was neat to see how the kids had learned how to use the different percussion instruments and to follow directions and music. I have a video of part of the drum circle uploaded on my facebook account. Blogger hasn't been letting me load video. (in the video Adreyn is pretty much in the middle of the screen--most of the time).
