I have a confession.....

So I have to confess I have been slacking on my blog because of another love... BAKING. I recently found Bakearella and her blog on cake pops! I had never heard of these tasty treats until a few months ago when Starbucks got them in. Basically they are cake mixed with a bit of frosting and covered in chocolate and put on a stick. A tiny but yummy treat. I decided to try this new project and boy, was it a project. It was very time consuming but they turned out super yummy. I made egg-themed ones for the upcoming Easter holiday. I tweeted the creator of these cake pops and even got a response back! It made all the hard work worth it. Here is a pic of the eggs! The inside cake is funfetti and it white chocolate on the outside! They are a bit too sweet to have on a regular and the are an all day task, but they will be great for a special event! 

Happy Birthday!

So Monday was Rob's birthday. He turned the big 42, not exactly the most exciting number to turn, but it's still a birthday. He usually isn't in to the bday thing and I usually make a big deal about it, but for some reason this year he was kinda pumped! Maybe my birthday spirit is rubbing off on him. Well anyways he had to go to work yesterday, so while he was gone the kids and I went crazy at the Dollar Tree buying silly party decor and balloons! He was surprised when he came home and said for me not to expect the same on my birthday because he is just not that creative! We ended up having cake and champagne and catching up on some tv shows. I am taking him out to dinner tonight as well! Overall it was a pretty low key birthday and we got to spend it together, which is all that matter, at least to me! The kids even had fun decorating their cards to him and Preston decided that Gracie needed a blue hand during this time! I can't believe she sat there and let him color her hand. It was kinda funny though. For it to be a Monday it was a pretty fun evening. Oh and Dancing With The Stars is always an added bonus!!!!!! Tuesday the kids to him to dinner which was a surprise to Rob! Check out the party pics.

Gotta find a better SMILE face!

Silly hat!

Preston wanted to make it work!

Fantastic Friday, kinda...

Well it's Friday!!!! Although it really doesn't mean too much to me, just another day, but since it's Lent we will have fish and grits for dinner...YUMMY! It's also April Fool's Day which means Rob's birthday is right around the corner, the 4th. Since we have been married I always do him a special cake, last year I really didn't do anything too special because he had to fly to Texas on his birthday so we didn't have a ton of time. I was also about 8.5 months pregnant and taking care of a dog and toddler, so I wasn't really in the festive mood. But this year I once again made him a cool cake! It's an iPad 2 cake! I expected it to take a lot longer so he got it early. I am really bad at keeping things a secret, I just get too excited. I'm not sure of the gift that he will be getting yet, but since his birthday is Monday I guess I need to figure it out. I always do a cool gift that has a personal touch to it, but I'm coming up short this year. Oh well I will figure it out soon. Mr. Preston decided that he was feeling a little creative as well, by coloring on the kitchen floor! Oh happy Friday. Check out the pics of birthday's past and Preston's wonderful artwork!!!
