A Birthday and more Life!

I was really proud of my Pinewood Derby this year.  It’s my third since I was put in as Cubmaster, and I’m feeling like I’m getting the hang of it.  This year I made a cake, which I was also proud of.

J has figured out how to push the kitchen chairs around and get up on the table and the counters.  Nothing is safe anymore!

We did finally get some snow.  It didn’t stay very long, but we did get out to play once before it turned into rain and disappeared.

J has become obsessed with shoes.  He must always have a pair of shoes on … even if they aren’t his!

We had a Birthday!  I can’t believe how old my L is.  When did that happen?!

I always let my kids pick a cake for their birthday.  This year, L picked a “Buttery Citrus Lemon Cake”.  The recipe sounded good, but I may have just met the first cake that I don’t care to eat.  The cake itself was wonderful, but I couldn’t get past the lime zest in the frosting.  Blech …  But, it wasn’t my cake, and L ate it up!  As did everyone else …

I also made some popcorn balls to take in to L’s class at school.  She wanted pink, so we made pink for the girls and blue for the boys.

And last of all, since L is six years old, we went ahead and bunked the bunk beds the girls have been sleeping on for two years.  It really opens up their room, and they love it!
