Last weekend!

Goodness, this week got away with me (as most of them seem to do), I agree with Darylynn - “what happened, where did it go"?” And if I think back I can’t really say there was much I did other than the usual housework, laundry, running to the store, taking Kiki to piano lesson and a trip to Whole Foods with my friend Cindy yesterday!

With all that said, I must get on and start my day, make the beds, load the dishwasher etc, so I will leave you with some photos from last weekend, when we celebrated mom-in-law’s birthday:

I made a wonderful carrot cake, (I’ll have to share the recipe another time) with cream cheese frosting. Honestly, this is so good I could eat all of these pieces!

Kristen doesn’t like carrot cake so I helped her make cupcakes, and showed her how my Mam used to decorate them with me. We called them butterfly cakes :-) Simply cut a little circle out of the top of the cake, put in some frosting, cut the little circle piece of cake you have in half , then add them back to the top of the cake (with the straight cut sides facing out) so it looks like butterfly wings. I added antenna with bits of orange peel – sprinkle with icing sugar. Look at that crazy Kiki, she can’t wait to eat this!!!

The table was set for a simple pasta lunch. Penne pasta with a choice of marina sauce w/ground turkey and turkey Italian sausage in it, or creamy alfredo with onions, peas, bacon and mushrooms in it. Side salad and fresh baked bread. Simple but satisfying (sorry I didn’t get pics).

Flowers and pressies await!

And Kristen makes Boo look all pretty for Grandma arriving!

Birthday kisses from Boo (notice he has his little blue shirt on too!)

Recognize the green top I’m wearing? It looked like this the last time you saw it!!

Yep, I finished my pretty Garden Spring Tee… I’ll share more photos next time. Have a great weekend!
