Revision

I had to revise mickey's hairline after some constructive criticism from the peanut gallery in morristown! Thanks for making me laugh!



Dress Rehearsal


After I put my babies to bed this evening I got cracking on trying to create a mickey mouse birthday cake for my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fan's 2nd birthday. I was very methodical in my approach, notice I even made a sketch
Exhibit A: This is what Mickey looks like these days

Exhibit B: This is my rendering to keep me on track as I rolled out the fondant pieces





Exhibit C: This is my Mickey Masterpiece!







HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa! thank goodness I didn't wait until the night before :)

When Daddy's away, the children will play

Hannah, Jonah, Bella and I went to Mimi and Papa's while Doug was in DC. I think all parties had more fun there than we would have had at home that week, especially Jonah. He loves to ride in "mimi's truck," go swimming with papa, and just be outside from morning to night. Thank you Mimi and Papa for entertaining us and loving us!



hannah loves to move, move, move




and she just loves her mimi and jonah
