March 23, 24, 2013 - Weekend of J's Birthday and Oma's visit

Oma came to visit on Saturday and stayed that night.. She brought some treats early from the Easter bunny.. Here they are putting together the toy from a very large Kinder egg.

Out for supper at Burgers on Main to celebrate Daddy's birthday and Oma's visit. The waiter was nice enough to bring out two big pieces of cake on a plate because it was a birthday.. He didn't sing though.. ;)

Sunday morning Daddy opened his gifts with Campbell and Miles to help of course.

Campbell explaining to J who the people in the ornament are.. That's you and that's Mommy.

Outside for a bike ride and walk, even though it was COLD!! but we had to try to make it seem like spring somehow.. can you see all that snow.. YUCKO!

 On our way back home.. didn't go too far cause it was COLD!

Still trying to make it seem like spring, the kids wanted to swing.. Hard to push them cause the snow had me standing high in relation to the swing.. ;) but they had fun..

 Miles loves the swing..

Campbell and J played some ball hockey too.. "HE SCORED!!"

After supper we lit some candles in one of the monster cupcakes and sang to Daddy.. Fun filled weekend.. ;)

Friday March 22, 2013 - Decorating Cupcakes for Daddy's Birthday

So for J's birthday I thought that Campbell and Miles might like to decorate cupcakes for it.. We were thinking aliens but I think in the end they were more like monsters.. I made the cupcakes and had them cooled and ready to ice... Made the green icing and iced them while they decorated.. they had gummy candies, candy eyes, and green and brown chocolate pieces cut up. 

Well what a hit this was. They loved it and I had a hard time keeping up with them. I thought that they might get bored of it after a couple but no. I only got to decorate 2 cupcakes and they did the other 10. Campbell just kept saying "This is so much fun Mommy. This one is going to have 3 eyes.", etc. and Miles kept saying "More eyes Mommy." "More gummies Mommy."

Some of the final products.. they were so proud to show J when he got home.. there was no way we were going to be able to keep them a surprise. ;)
