Long Day.....

So this has been one long day. I decided to take off, as I had a ton of things to do for Sidneys birthday. Since we are taking her to the Dallas aquarium tomorrow and she will be out of daycare, I decided to wake up early this morning to bake cupcakes to take to her class. I woke at 7:00 am , that leaves me an hour to get the cupcakes ready, packed and hidden in the car, with Sidney due to wake at 8:00 am. I head off to the kitchen, right as I turn the light on I hear.....mommy? mommy? MOMMY!!! Great she's awake and I have thirty cupcakes to make .....with the cookie monster up. Needless to say it went well, with Mommy eating one cupcake, and Sidney eating two. (without icing...this is breakfast after all!!!) Below is the finished product...and a picture of sid saying..cheeeeeese!!!

I found this cute t-shirt at babies r us, and it just made me laugh out loud...had to get it!

Most of you know that awhile ago we pretty much got rid of all of our furniture. We decided to mount our flat screen above the fire place. Which meant we got rid of our amoire, so we had to get rid of our coffee table, end tables...they all matched!!! So now it is nice to have a big open space, but my home has not felt hommie (not sure that's a word, or how you spell it) this has made me sad. So I have been on a mission lately to de clutter my house, and have gotten rid of a lot of junk. Mostly my mission has been to de-country my house (except my kitchen, i can't give up my love of roosters!!) Long story short I have redone my entry way. I would have shown a before picture, but I don't want proof that ever existed!! So the last picture is off my new wall in the entry way!! I love it....sorry about the flash...(you know me and this new camera!) Somehow the picture does not do it justice...it is much more stunning in person.

Have a great Friday!!!
