The weekend is gone????

Where did the past 3 days go? Seriously, what happened? Friday we had Mops (Moms group), then straight to the grocery store, my friend Tina came over to play the Wii while I baked cakes, then Saturday I finished the cake, headed out to see a movie with Amy and Summer, and then the girls went over to Grandma and Grandpa's while Jason and I went to a dinner theatre at Church. Sunday went even faster, Church, lunch with Dad and Jill and then Piper and I headed off to see the Nutcracker Ballet.

teapot cake, this is the front

here's the back, this was actually one of the easiest cake's I've made. I'd do more gentle girly flowers next time, the little ones looked more like stars than daisies. Jason actually named my future business Babycakes' cakes - something to that extent

Dad and Nanny getting a little cuddle time

Piper sang in Church today, well she missed the past two weeks so she didn't know the words and was incredibly shy but it was very cute! I didn't get any good shots of her, I was sitting too far back and the camera kept focussing on people's heads instead of the kids so I tried taking a picture of the screen

a rare moment where the girls and I got to sit and cuddle

Piper teaching Tina how to drive

here we are sitting in our seats waiting for the ballet to start and Piper gasps "There's Hannah". This is the infamous Hannah that Piper just adores. They go to school together and have played together a couple of times. Hannah dances at the place the ballet was being shown, she came all costumed up.

the results

Here are the cookies

no pictures of the chocolate drop, Mom took those home, I should have snagged a few more before she left

Nanny enjoyed the day, she helped peel the wrappers off the hershey kisses

and Piper the very helpful assistant hard at work, it won't be long until she's making them on her own

Both girls had their little aprons on for a while, I should have snagged a picture before they removed them. We had a lot of fun and Mom and I had a well oiled operation going on there. All cookies were baked and my kitchen was actually clean.

Cookie making day!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is cookie making day with Grandma Mary. The girls are really excited for Grandma to come over, wait until she lets them lick the beaters.

What a fun weekend!

We had a great weekend, although a busy weekend. Jason and Reagan actually had the chance to hang out and relax together quite a bit, as Piper and I were the ones running around.

Saturday morning I got to escape for a few hours to meet up with the girls for bagels and coffee, congratulations both Heather and Summer, each are expecting babies number 2. Summer is acutally due on my birthday, good day, good day! After hanging out with the girls, Piper and I headed out to buy a birthday present for her friend Hannah. We had fun hanging out just the two of us. We returned home for about an hour before Aunt Niki came over to escort Miss Piper to a movie and dinner. They had a blast, thank you again Niki, Piper loves being spoiled like that.

This morning we laid pretty low, the flu has gone around at least one family from church (Tina) and being the germ phobic Momma I am, I decided to stay away for a week, not that Piper can't pick it up at school or the grocery store, or anywhere else, but oh well, I knew after yesterday's running around she'd be tired and need to lay low.

Ok, the Royal Tea Party (birthday party), it was held at a dance studio and the girls were instructed to show up dressed as ballerina's. I didn't count but I bet there were 12-15 girls there all dressed in tutu's and ballet slippers, oh it was so darn cute! Hannah the birthday girl walked into the dance room and did a few twirls and Piper was right on her heals, it was so fun to watch her discover the floor to ceiling mirror and watch the light bulb go off in her head, she started twirling and dancing around and once all the other girls piled in there was a group of them bumping into each other, why oh why didn't I bring my camera????? The actual dance class part was in another room where the parents couldn't watch so most of us left. She had a great time. She's not quite 4 yet but it feels like she's growing up so fast, she's already making friends and going to parties, and she doesn't "like" boys but she asks about Mr. Konner every day and was bummed that he wasn't at the party. Awwwhhh!
