Gotta love children!

So I love my kids, ready for the but, sometimes they drive me crazy. My youngest wants to potty train which is fine but she doesn't understand what she is doing. She loves wearing underwear and sits on the potty for several hours a day of her own accord. She makes us take her to the potty when we aren't at home every five mins. But she hasn't once peed in the potty. She has pooped in it but really how long do I put up with this? Would it make me a failure if I forced her to wear a diaper?

My eldest by all accounts is one of the sweetest kids to walk the face of the earth, ready for the but, she has started to give me major attitude lately and has been saying unfortunate things infront of other people. Lately and I swear I don't know where she gets this (honestly I don't talk like this at home) she has been making comments about "fat" mommies. This hurts my feelings as much as anyone else, I just don't know how to address it. I've told her that if she eats her fruits and vegetables and stops eating when her tummy says so she will never have to worry about the "f" word. How do you teach your kids to be politically correct? Any ideas, really I'm worried about the way this could go.

I love my family!

Dan just got home from a long trip 9 days 8 nights and I was a little upset he had to go to work today. After what seemed like an eternity (I know it's nothing compared to people who have to deal with deployment) of being a single mom I wanted a break. I guess it's ok because he took they day off tomorrow. I was just so done with dealing with the kids when he left for work this morning I got a little mad. Not at him but at how much I didn't want to do the mom thing today. Well I finally got up and came to look at our new family pics again. I really love my family I just get tired of dealing with "Moommmmy!!!!" being yelled all day long. It's a good thing they are so cute, cause they do make it worth it!

Cake pictures!

I did this cake for my cousin Rachel. I think it turned out super cute!

Princesses, castles and cakes, oh my!

We had a princess party for my eldest this past week and I have to say that I had a blast getting ready for it and throwing it. It was all the things my daughter is pink, girly and fun. I love her and I really think she deserved the awesome party she got.My sister and sister in law were awesome as our party princesses. They talked to the girls at our "princess tea" about all the things that princesses are: kind, sweet and loving.

I didn't make this cake, my sweet sister bought it for Hannah because I had way too much to do preparing for the party.

Here is the basement all decked out in tuelle. I bought 400 yards of pink and white tuelle at a yard sale and used it like it was going out of style. I also made 8 tutus one for each princess guest.

I made this castle for the girls to color in when they first arrived.
