I'm sure you're wondering what has happened to make me come over here so many times recently. The need to get away? Possibly. Actually there are just so many things happening in our household that I can't allow them to go "un-published"!! I've found that my previous assumptions of Ethan growing out of his ornery stage has become just that....an assumption. I don't remember if I'd mentioned in September about hearing the cat hollering and I'd gone to see what the ruckus was about and he was attempting to paperhole punch Scotch's ear!! Well just a week ago he decided to give himself, Bia and the cat a haircut. The cat managed to slip away with only a small hole in his fur. Bia got a good 2" hacked off the back of her hair and some of her hair on top she only has a 1/2" left!! Ethan looked like he had the mange so I ended up buzzing all of his hair off. He's got this thing with cutting. I'm assuming it's all Miss Thomas' fault for allowing him to use scissors at school. SEE...this is why my kids never knew how to cut until they went to school!!!
Below you'll see a picture of a dollar I found on my dresser while cleaning it off yesterday....
WELL...... what was left of the dollar!!!
After showing this to Ethan and asking him what it was he started laughing and said, "It's a king hat, mom!!" He then realized (after I'd managed to control the gut-wrenching laughter that I'd emitted) that I was serious and he started to cry!! The look on his face was priceless. I couldn't help laughing. He was so proud to let me know that it was a king hat!!
Here is the cake I made for Reagan today. He'll be turning 7 on Wednesday but we're going to a family from church's house tomorrow and I offered to bring dessert. Figured a cake was as good as anything. He asked for a baseball cake this year. I had ran out of brown food coloring so I had to make a black bat.
The hotdog was a hoot. It looks so real in real-life. The ball got a tad wrinkly but he loved it when he came inside and saw the cake. That's all that matters to me!!

What a cool cake! Your cakes put mine to shame. Oh well ;) Love your new template. I redid mine a week or so ago. Getting in the fall mood. Also, the family picture is beautiful! Do you think you could send me a 4x6? Your Ethan sounds alot like my Ethan. He's so ornery, too. We've got to get together sometime. We miss you guys!
