Another Busy Week

Its been another busy week in the Butler house. Full of laughs, fun, cake, learning, sickness, tears and all that other stuff. 

Before claire got sick last week she was doing really awesome in the potty training department. One day she just started using her toilet and was doing awesome till she got sick and then that all disappeared! This week claire has started talking soooo much more than we are used to. She will repeat almost anything back at you now. Its fun. One of her new favorite words is hungry! 

I caught claire stashing macaroni and cheese inside of scott's bumbo the other day, and i wonder why i can't keep up with the cleaning! crazy girl!

Last week the kids came down with a cold and were nice enough to share it. Both kids have been having a hard time. Hopefully scott will feel better soon and start sleeping better. Most of us are over it but poor rich is starting to feel it coming on now! 

During the week we watched Faye for a little while her mom was in the hospital recovering from a c-section. We can't wait to meet baby Adam! 

The kids enjoyed some daddy time. I LOVE claire's smile! 

Poor girl having a hard day!

Scott is so cute! I love this little man so much! Here he is playing with mashed potatoes during dinner. Sadly he doesn't like the taste but they were sure exciting to play with! 

At the end of the week I played cake lady again... One of my projects was a dinosaur cake for a friends son's 6th birthday. She came over to help and it was a lot of fun. I also made her son a Dinosaur egg cupcake. Using this idea I found here. but used an awesome (big) goose egg that i painted spots on to make look like a real dino egg. He LOVED IT!

Of course we had to eat the egg first. This is ONE egg! it was enough for all of us. Awesome. and tasted just like a chicken egg. 

Here is a hippie eugene breakfast... Goose egg, Turkey bacon, ovaltine and hash browns. Yum. Its fun to try something new. 

Here is the dino egg after it was cracked with the cake in the middle. Sadly i didn't get a picture of it before I gave it to Mason. 

The kids enjoyed helping with the cakes! I love this smile!

Here is Mason's Dinosaur cake! Complete with smoking volcano. (Picture of that to come.) The volcano had a cup in the middle so that we could put dry ice in it and make it smoke! Mason loved it!

I also made Stella's first Birthday cake! It was so much fun. What kid doesn't love sprinkles?! I love making first birthday cakes. I have a 4 inch, 3 inch and 2 inch cake pan. It makes a cute little cake!

Happy birthday stella! 

 Well its a new week and lots to do. Rich has school and a job interview, I have a work project and 5 loads of laundry to fold and the kids have lots of energy! Here we go.....
