I haven’t been able to be on here in awhile since i got back into the work routine. It’s been hectic and full of chaos, but i love my life and love my family.
I don’t really have much to talk about, and since my eyes are barely staying open as it is. I’m just having a picture blog tonight.
Enjoy!!
You don’t really know what love is til you have little ones to snuggle with.
It’s getting closer and closer to the end of my maternity leave, and I’m getting really sad to have to go back to the life of seeing my kids less than 4 hours a day.
So in lue of my momma-down moment, I decided to make this post about my little inspirations.
*William is my snuggle bug*
So this last saturday was the kids shared birthday party!
And we had lots and lots of family and little friends come to play.
We wanted to make an sesame street cake, and well…as you can see it didn’t turn out that great! I am a victim of no air condtioning, so piping a cake is an luxury that i now know i don’t have. So instead we made a tye-dye cake and make a few little to go on top. The elmo and big birds turned out really cool! but unfortunately the rest didn’t turn out the greatest, but the kids loved it and that’s all that matters!!
It was actually a very tasty cake! I might look like a mess, but the strawberry and red velvet cake inside under that homemade frosting-with food coloring of course, was to die for. And I still, unfortunately for my waistline, have a lot left in my refridgerator!
Elena had a great time sitting in my lap opening presents and Andrew wasn’t quite into it, but he was totally in love with all the trucks and distructive toys he received for his birthday.
William got his snuggles in and was passed around between all the grandparents
But all in all it was a really great party, minsus that fact that everyone lost weight from sweating to death in my little house. But the kids played mostly outside and that helped relieve alot of the congestion in the house. Next year, we’re moving all the furniture around just so we can actually have everyone fit in the house. Even though, every year Mr. Craig reminds me how much he doesn’t like big birthday parties. And then he realizes that it’s not a huge party, that’s just how much family we have! It’s not like we invite the whole town!!! But it was great to have the family and friends that could come around.
We are truly blessed by all the people in our lives who love our children so much.
They have an amazing foundation of love to build their lives on.
