Indiana's 3!!


It took me about 2 hours to decorate this one. One of my friends said that if the type of cake I make for my kids' bdays correlated to my love for them, then I'd love Indiana the most :)
I must love her a lot but not remember how old she is b/c as you can see I put 6 candles in the cake...not sure what I was thinking. Anyway, it was fun making it and she was so excited to see the butterfly. She keeps telling everyone about her "flyfly cake." It was the ultimate coconut cake from martha stewart.

Lost tooth


Beren is 7 and he finally lost his first tooth, naturally (He knocked out his canine when he was 1 1/2). He was the last on in his class to do it so he's been waiting a long time. He was so excited when it finally came out. The tooth fairy forgot to come the first night and the second night he was washing it off in the sink and it went down the drain. He was so upset. So we left a note about his tooth and what happened. He got a note the next morning from T. F. (we haven't denied or supported the existence of the the Tooth Fairy, so Bart said T. F. stands for tu father half spanish half english). The note said, Sorry about your tooth. I heard it went down the drain. Maybe it will reach the sea and turn into sand or a shell. He still got a buck. I tried to push for 10 cents b/c that's what I used to get but bart said that it needed to be more due to inflation ;)

HALLOWEEN

Beren was Wolverine. I made the mask, gloves and outfit while bart made the claws. He cut out each individual claw from a styrofoam sword.
Indiana wanted to be "pink" so I made a pink super hero....not really sure what she is. The boots didn't really turn out but I finished them right before the school party and didn't have time to fix them.
Asher's I was most proud of b/c it was the first time I'd ever tried sleeves and they turned out perfectly. Bart cut out the logo on his chest. As you can see I always have bart do the detail work b/c he's really good at that sort of thing.


our family shot. I just threw this outfit on when we were walking out the door for trick or treating. And calvin's I didn't get around to making. It was going to be a spider.
