Quick Takes Volume 48

Katie turned one on Tuesday.  She absolutely loved having people wish her a happy birthday and this girl really likes icing.

I've spent most of today baking cakes and cupcakes.  I feel like I've had enough of cake this week.  Monday I baked a cake for Katie's little party, Tuesday I baked cupcakes to bring over to the parish office for Katie's birthday buddies, and today I've baked one giant cupcake and thirty six regular cupcakes.  I'm not sure why I made the cupcakes since my mom is bringing a birthday cake up to my house tomorrow for my brother.

I survived another one of Bryan's business trips.  Tuesday night into Wednesday Katie didn't sleep very well.  I was exhausted by the time Bryan got home very late on Wednesday.

I feel like I have an incredibly long to do list for Katie's birthday party tomorrow, but I'm chipping away at it.

Madeline's hatred of Math is making me begin to hate Math, too.  I've spent more hours this week going over decimals with Madeline than I care to remember.

I discovered that Katie sleeps much better when she is wearing snuggly warm long sleeved pajamas.  As you can probably imagine, I made it my mission to buy her a few new sets of warm fleece pjs.  If a warm baby equals a sleeping baby then I'm all for it.

I got to help out with a craft in Ellie's class today.  So now I have a new craft idea that I look forward to trying out with my CCD kids.
