Cake

Wanted to get back into the practice of "cakes". Both Kira and Mace are celebrating their birthday next week. I have (in a moment of insanity) promised Kira a "pokemon" cake and Mason a buzzlightyear cake. Luckily, Kira will be happy with a simple cake that has pokemon figurines on it. (Pretty much she has figured out how to get more toys out of the deal....) I found some really great pictures and ideas for Mason's cake. Unfortunatetly, I am not sure I can pull it off. I ll post pics next week.
OH! This is a picture of a cake I just did for Bill and his group at work. Its a circut board cake. I found it while I was searching for a how to guide on making Masons cake...anyway I was pretty excited that Bill knew what it was without me saying anything!

Move that bus

MOVE THAT BUS!

If you look really really closely and quickly you could see us. It was right at the time when they were screaming "move that bus". I have to hand it to Carrie (Christine's friend) I would have never been able to find us with out her hair! It flashed across the screen and I paused and went back a few times but sure enough we were on! Not the most flattering pics but......

Great book!

We met some people who have 4 kids. Kids who get along....with ages ranging from 9-2 that is QUITE a feat. After a few playdates (one time could be a fluke) - after watching her interactions with the kids I didn't see that she was doing a lot of things differently. To make a bit of a long story short- they took this class/ read the book "Love and Logic". There is a whole series out there. I read the "love and logic magic for early childhood: practical parenting fromm birth to 6." Its pretty funny, I have noticed some changes with the kids. Mainly me yelling less. :) They seem to respond MUCH quicker than before- and they are getting along a little better. I think a lot of it has to do with Mace outgrowing the destructive stage- yea know, when Kira is making something with blocks .....

Mason's room

It is amazing the progress (when I actually work on it...) I can't stich the pictures together on this computer...when I get a little more work on it I will attemp it again.

~~~Mason tidbits~~~

So, Daddy and Kira had the father daughter dance last night. Mason and I stayed at home doing pretty much whatever he wanted, eating cookies, playing batman and of course watching Buzzlightyear. We were watching a tape of Buzz and after their signature "we'll be RIGHT back (after 10 minutes of commercials) a commercial came on. I started to fastforward it- Mason grabbed the remote control from me and said "Mom, they'll be right back!"

Play hide and seek

Mace's idea of a good hiding place is well.....
