The girlies are counting down the days until their birthday! They're putting in requests for presents (thank goodness!) and I have one - yes, just one - gift bought so far. The whole "sick for two weeks" thing put me a little behind. Now that I think about it, I probably need to do some cake baking this weekend. I might also need to nail down what cakes I'm decorating this year. At last check, Hannah wanted a T-Bone the dog (from Clifford) cake, Hope wanted a chocolate lab (woo hoo, no problem there - chocolate frosting!), and Addie wants a Rainey the yellow lab cake. On the plus side, I won't have to mix a ridiculous number of frosting colors and they're all reasonably easy to decorate. On the minus side, I have to bake and decorate three cakes. I guess that's the price I pay for having three kiddos with the same birthday. The joys definitely outweigh the difficulties! :) I'll have to talk Meme into make frosting since my stand mixer decided at some point this year to just give up and die.
The girls have today and tomorrow (along with the weekend, obviously) off of school. We're planning to do some cooking and crafty things while we have some time to do that. A friend of Gary's called last night to see if we wanted his 4 tickets to the KU/OU game Saturday, so he's going to go with Jim & Jonathan. He wants me to go as well, so if it all works out I will go too. It would be fun... I'll let you know what happens! :)
