the update, the low down, the scoop.

how about some updates? i listed what was up yesterday but didn't mention much since.


Paxton's birthday?

so Paxton's birthday was mediocre in my opinion, but glorious in his.

so since he was the birthday boy, his opinion wins.

here he is taking a DEEEP BREATH to blow out the candles.

but check out this pathetic excuse for a cake.

it was the giant cupcake but in my rush to get it in the oven forgot the extra eggs and the added pudding didn't get mixed as well as it should. so when i took it out of the pan, it stuck and broke in a couple spots. RAD.

THEN i frosted it while it was still warm which ended up collapsing it.

he asked for red which turned out pink and well, it was a disappointment. (for me)

in the end it tasted mighty fab. so really how bad can that be? but it wasn't as great as it could have been. but i think he was just happy i baked him a cake , between shopping and dance. and dinner at Barro's .

Spelling bee?

Peyton was out on the 6th round which had all of 5 people by then, 2 got out in the 6th round leaving 3, one got out and then it was down to 2 and a 6th grader won. he was disappointed, he's the type that cries when he loses. so that's always sad. but i'm just impressed he's willing to participate. i NEVER WOULD HAVE EVER participated in anything like that in school. believe it or not i was SHY! i know, hard to believe. but it's true. painfully shy. Peyton still has next year to try and win the spelling bee. and if he never does i still think it's awesome he's willing to try.

today, was a busy one.

i forgot to take Pierce to preschool.

then we ran errands while the hubs was at the dentist.

THEN, we hit costco for a speedy trip.

then it was time to pick up the kids.

I'd put up the tree earlier but it still needed fluffed, and none of the lights work on the dang pre-lit tree. so i spent the afternoon putting some lights on, until i ran out and my back was achin' and i burned dinner. (I've never seen spaghetti burn to the pot before but now i have. I'd asked liberty to stir it but she didn't want to, and i was busy and so it didn't get done. BAH! HUMBUG!~

then i took the kids to dance technical rehearsal,

rushed home to get dinner for my mom and deliver it,

then went back to pick up the kids and a set of friends, and a pair of cousins and drive them home too.

THEN , i picked up the hubs and dropped him at my brothers house. they are going to the midnight IMAX 3D of Avatar. without me, sigh. i wanted to go but someone has to be the parent and it's my turn. so he'll just have to see it twice.

so there we are. that's where I've been. the update, the low down, the scoop.

i label some of my posts, it's invisible but still , days like this the post is always labeled -

life at my house is never dull.

how is life at your house?

anything exciting going on?

have you ever burned spaghetti noodles?

the spelling bee? have you ever been in one? what about your kids?
