The First Day of Kindergarten
He has his backpack and his lunch packed for the day.
A handsome shirt, and a big smile on his face.
I’m still not ready for Thade’s first day of school though…

Well tomorrow is the Bridal Shower for our dear friend Shaunna. I still have a lot to do before the party, but I think it is going to be a lot of fun. I also have a super talented baker helping me out with the delicious party treats.
Friday was Mint making day!
My best friend/blogger Stacey stopped by with her awesome kit of icing tips, flavorings, a rainbow of dyes, and so many super rad molds to make the mints. How I wish I was a cake decorator too… All of the kiddos played in the living room, while we rolled out the minty goodness at the dining room table.
Stacey in minty action!
I think we made mints for a little over 2 1/2 hours, but the time flew by….
We had to test a few too, and trust me they were super delicious. Dylan loved them too. He kept asking Stacey-cakes and me for bites. I’m going to be making these every chance that I get.
We have well over 100 mints for the Bridal Shower, and it was a fun afternoon getting to hang out with my best buddy too. Today I’m finishing up the centerpieces (pics coming soon) and making the take-home treats too.

I think I’ve said this one a time or two before, but I’m really not a morning person. I’m trying to retrain my sleeping-in ways to start earlier, and get the kiddos out of the house and on time for school. I was supposed to start this experiment on Monday, but I slept in. I kinda slept in Tuesday and Wednesday too.
Last night Dylan was up all night, and wow I really didn’t want to get up at 6:00 a.m., but I did it anyway. The kiddos are still snoozing, lucky kiddos, and I’m trying desperately to resist the urge to crawl back into bed and sleep till 7:30 a.m. Why can’t the school day start about 10:00 a.m., or so?!?

This is turning out to be one busy week over at Nicostuff. There are Doctor’s appointments to get to and kindergarten open house too. I had a MOPS Steering meeting last night, but the weekend is ending with a super-fun Bridal Shower for my dear friend Shaunna.
Today I’m spending some time and getting crafty! I love working on any type of craft that comes my way, and I’m hoping that the boy’s will play nice today and let Mommy work on some Bridal Shower decorations.
I should probably get to that major pile of laundry that needs folded today too. My kitty looks pretty comfy though, and I really don’t want to disturb him.
