I say to Joey, "Oh Joey you got chocolate on your pants."
Joey replies, "Oh sh*t."
Enough said

Let it SNOW!
We actually have snow here this morning and Joey is loving it. He and Bubba would stay out in it all day if I let them and it's not even really sticking too much to the ground yet. According to the news we're supposed to get two inches, but I'll believe it when I see it and if I do see it then we'll be attempting to make miniature snowmen out of it (lol).
Anyway here are a few photo's of Joey enjoying the first snowfall of the year in our neck of the woods.

Overnight Parties
Joey had his third overnight adventure... this time it was at Aunt Crystals. He got to have her all to himself the first evening, and then his cousin Gracie came over in the morning to join in the fun. Crystal said it all went pretty well. She put him down at his usual bedtime, 7:00 PM, and he went pretty much without a fuss but she said she could hear him in their talking to himself and just moving about until almost 9:00 when he finally fell asleep. From there it was smooth sailing, until he fell out of bed. She went right in and calmed him down and he went right back to sleep until 6:45 the next morning. He never sleeps in that late for me, but for Auntie Giggles, of course he'll sleep in late. Of course Crystal was already awake because she kept listening for him from about 3:30 on which is when Larry usually gives him a fresh bottle and a fresh diaper, but Joey apparently had other things on his mind as he slept right through this time frame.
Gracie got there about 9:30 and from that point on it was all things princess. He played baby with Gracie, with Gracie being the baby and him feeding her from a teacup, they played with the princess dolls, had a tea party, and colored their little hearts out. Gracie taught him how to share better and was just so gracious with him. She also taught him the Clean Up song when it came time to pick everything up. All in all they had great fun together.
Mom and I headed over around mid-afternoon to hang out with them and then to have dinner. Beth joined us about 6:30 and we sat down to a fabulous meal of b-b-q tri tip, homeade potatoe salad, and corn on the cobb. She'd also made fried chicken tenders for the kids, and cut up some melon. We all ate good that night, ending with toffee brittle ice cream bars.
I got Joey dressed for night time and then we headed hom around 8:00 and I put one very sleepy boy down to bed.
Joey loves every moment he gets to spend with Aunty Crystal, and she loves her special times with him to. I'm lucky to have such a generous sister who's willing to give up her free time so that Larry and I can have a little bit of couple time to ourselves. Thanks sis. We love you.

Cakes, Cakes everywhere
Well Crystal and I just finished the last class of the four week cake decorating course we were taking. We learned basic icing techniques, how to space plan your design and how to make roses. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work to. I finished two cakes during the course - my first being a rainbow cake and the second a rose cake. I missed out on one of the cakes, a clown design, because my fibromyalgia was acting up so bad that I had to miss class. According to Crystal I didn't miss much (lol).
Anyway here are photo's of my two finished cakes. I say finished because I had to have them finished for class, but I also made several practice cakes at home. Larry became a favorite at work because his coworkers got to eat all of my efforts, both for class and the ones I made just for the fun of it.

Larry's got a FEVER
Christmas fever that is. He went full out first on the lights of our home and our exterior decorations (even stealing some of my thunder by utilizing items I'd purchased to use inside - little sneak), and now with his desk. I think it's safe to say that he is the first with his decorations up and he did a marvelous job showing his love of all things christmas. But don't take my word for it, check it out yourselves.
