Cakes, Cakes, and more Cakes

I have completed the 3rd class in my cake decorating series. I have also signed up for another session next month because I am having so much fun. We decorate a cake at the end of every class which means I have been eating a lot of cake!! Luckily my husband took the most recent one to work today so I won't eat that one.

Here are pictures of the 2 cakes that I have done. The rainbow one is the first one, I forgot to take a picture before we cut and started eating! The white and pink one is the second one and I happier with that. I am sure that next weeks will be even better.

Hope you enjoy!

Ebay

So with my new hobby (obsession) cake decorating, I have discovered a need for a stand mixer. While I don't think it is necessary, it would be extremely helpful. I figure if your gonna buy one you might as well go all the way. So I wanted a Kitchenaide! Now, if you are not aware of this, they cost about $300. My husband felt that this was ridiculous, I whole heartedly disagreed, but I refrained. Until I discovered the joy of Ebay!! I found one for half the price. I am super excited. I got into a bidding war this morning and it was very exciting. After losing out on a few, I finally won! It should be here in 3-5 business days.
I will post a picture of my first creation from my class soon, I need to download the picture.

Sleep Deprivation

I was somewhat smug recently when talking with other moms because my baby was pretty much sleeping through the night. I was feeling pretty good about myself! Well that is a thing of the past. We went on a little vacation and apparantly that was all Morgan needed to give up sleeping. When we got home I thought, she just needs a little while to get back into her routine. Well, that was over a month ago and she is still waking up at least twice a night. Sleep Deprivation has set in and I need toothpicks to keep my eyes open! AUGH! The aggravation of it all.

Etsy Giveaway!

Sickies!

I have a house full of sickies! It started with Reagan, we really thought it was just allergies, but then Morgan and I woke up yesterday with the beginning of a cold. Today it is full blown. Reagan seems to be feeling a little better, but Morgan and I feel worse. This is one the hardest things about being a mom, you don't get to just be sick. You have 2 other people who are depending you to take care of them as well. So, while I want to go lay on the couch, that will not happen, I am sure!

Anniversary

This weekend was my husband and I 5th anniversary! It seems a little crazy at times that we have been married that long, and other times I can't remember what life was like before. So on Saturday morning my wonderful husband took Reagan and they went and got breakfast while Morgan and I slept in. You may be thinking WOW, Morgan slept in, but don't be impressed. She was up most of the night, so she was just making up for lost time! So, Patrick and Reagan brought home breakfast and flowers for me which was very lovely.
The day was topped off with Patrick and I heading out and leaving the girls with a babysitter which is always exciting. Having a dinner that did not involve Mac N Cheese or chicken nuggets was definitely a treat. Then we went and saw "The Dark Knight" which we enjoyed immensly!
So my hubby I love you dearly and I look forward to the next 5 years and many many more!

On a side note, "The Dark Knight" is very good, but VERY long, so be prepared!
