Giraffe

This year for Halloween E is a giraffe. She got to wear her costume to school today for her classroom party. It was so cute, all the kids were dressed up when I dropped her off. However, when I took this picture, she really wasn't in the mood for pictures, and looks like she needs her morning coffee.

Here is a better picture of her after the morning coffee.

Arcuri Wedding

This past weekend was our good friend Tony's wedding. Here is a picture of the guys....

E's 2 year photo shoot

We took Ellie to get her 2 year photos yesterday at a place near the house called Portrait Innovations. We felt like they did a great job, and that we ended up with a lot of pictures for what we paid. So much in fact, I dom't know what I am going to do with all of these pictures. Yikers. Our only complaint was that they said we would be in and out of there with picturees in hand in 1-1/2 hours. It took 2 hours to just take the pictures and pick which ones we wanted. They still had to print them. The best part is that we walked away with a CD of EVERY picture they took yesterday. So even though we didn't buy some of the pictures, we still were able to get a CD of every picture. Well worth it. So here are a few of the pictures from yesterday.

Ellie Turned Two!

I can't believe that Ellie is already two! Time has really flown by. Here is a picture of Ellie from her 2nd Birthday.

The Cakes

I am not a huge fan of store bought cakes. It is mainly because of the frosting. It kind of makes me gag just to think about it. I also remember when I was a kid that my Mom made most of our Birthday cakes. So this year to continue this tradition I made E's birthday cakes for her party. It took me about 3-4 hours to decorate the two cakes. I think that they turned out awesome and just wanted to share the cakes with those of you that didn't get to see them.

I really enjoyed making them, and decorating the cakes. I sent Tom and E on about 1000 errands Saturday morning so that I could get the cakes decorated. Everything went well until I ran out of orange frosting half way through the Zoey cake, and the kitchen was such a disaster that I had to clean it up before I could make anymore frosting.

Diaper Dog

One night last week Tom and I woke up to the dog taking a crap on the floor in the bedroom. That is worse then being woken up by your child screaming in the middle of the night. What upset me the most about this is that it was on our brand new carpet. SUCKY!!!! So the next night, Tom and i didn't want to deal with that, so we modified one of Ellie's swim diapers to fit Cammie. It worked awesome.
