Springtime In Winter

Wow! Just 2 weeks ago...we were encased in at least an inch of ice for over a week. Today the temperature reached a glorious 71 degrees. It was just gorgeous! Drew had 2 friends over so I decided to take the 3 boys and Miss Addi to the park. I don't think she remembered going to the park. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot...her little face just lit up and she said "I walk, Mommy". Now we are really yearning for those warm spring days!!!

Way Back When-esday!

This is Daisy! She is 6 years old now but has never grown out of toddlerhood. She chews, gets in the trash, chases the UPS guy (who NEVER stops at my house, by the way ;), pees on the floor on occasion....everything a toddler would do. Soooo....Shannon has been begging me to let her come and live with her. I said no at first but the older Addi got and the more she drove me crazy getting into stuff...I changed my mind. It's not a permanent thing...she is just borrowing her and I can get her back any time. I do miss her but it has been kinda nice not to have to worry about her and I know she is being well taken care of. Now if I can just convince someone to "borrow" Lily!! LOL! April 2008

Cupcake Crazy!!

Yes....I have gone CUPCAKE CRAZY!!! I just can't get enough of watching all of the cake and cupcake shows that are on these days! I did a little research and found that we have several cupcake shops around town. I may just have to start trying them out. Saturday, (some of) our family was getting together for Jessica's birthday (it was also my mom's birthday....she would have been 73). We went to Marietta Pizza Co. on the square and then over to Miss Mamie's for cupcakes. Can you say YUM-MY???

Addi being silly with her cupcake!
Addi and the blond sisters.The gang eating and chatting!The "little kid" table (don't tell Drew I called it that)!

The "big kid" tables!
All of the kids...big and little!!!
Now I know you have heard about Sprinkles....cupcakes for the stars. They started out in Beverly Hills and have branched out to several other cities. They are planning on opening more locations and Atlanta is in the running. You can go right over here...scroll down a bit and vote for Atlanta!!

Now...to change the subject completely.....I have started potty training Addison today. Please say a little prayer for me! We are attempting the "3 Day Technique". She is so cute in her "big girl panties" and we are on our 2nd pair for the day! I will update you later this week on how well this method works! Ha!!

Edited to add.....we are now on our 3rd pair of panties. Literally seconds after I hit the "post" button, I heard Addi saying...."ewwww, dross (gross)" and sure enough there was a little puddle. Did I say I am too old for this???????
