Elmo Cake Anyone?

Well the highlight of today, so far, was heading over to Michael's for an ELMO cake pan. Camden is turning 2 in a few weeks...I cannot believe it! So I have taken on the task of trying to make the cake rather than ordering one and paying through the roof. I have never decorated a cake before, not of this magnitude! It should be interesting! Anyone have suggestions or tips? I am going online this afternoon to see if I can find some ideas!

Dear Snow...

Dear Snow,
PLEASE do not ruin my plans once again. I am begging you! We are supposed to go out tonight for Lee's Holiday Party. Dinner-A Few Drinks-And the best part of all...the kids are staying overnight at my parents! So can you please just do me the favor of staying away long enough to have the party be on?? Long enough for us to have a nice dinner and some fun times with friends? Maybe at least long enough for us to drop the kids off...
Snow, you have gotten in the way of so many activities this winter already. Postponed Dance Recitals, cancelled dinners, game night with friends...need I go on? Not to mention the COUNTLESS snow days Hannah has already had, I mean really...she only goes to school 3 mornings a week, can't you plan out these storms better? I need those morning to grocery shop, to clean the house, so have a little time with only ONE child in the house.
I am just asking for ONE NIGHT OUT! Give us a few inches after say... 10pm, we can handle that...just don't dump a foot of snow on us and expect that all will be ok...it won't!

So please...just hold off or find someones elses night to invade on, someone without plans!

Thank you for your sympathy!
P.S. If you have to throw in a few more snow days...fine!

FOUR LETTER WORD

Camden learned a new word recently...fork! The only problem is, when he says it, it sounds an awful lot like another four lettered word beginning with F. I mean...he is saying that "other word" but he really means fork. Too bad the people in the grocery store don't know this. He saw an Elmo silverware set and we were ALL DONE!

{insert the "other" word anytime you see fork}

"FORK momma...FORK!"

"FORK, SPOON momma!"

"Camden want FORK!"

Nice...one old lady was staring at me, giving me nasty looks. Did she really think I was just letting him yell the "other" word with no reaction?? GEEEEEZ!


I finally got his mind on something else (a bag of M&M's) as I raced through the store hoping for no more sightings of the "FORK!"

Have you ever seen anyone so thrilled to be shoveling?

SERIOUSLY??

Seriously?? Hannah has had more snow days during her 7 month preschool career than I had in all of high school! Today we are getting ICE...tons of it! I just hope we don't lose power...
