My Lil' Chef...

After we dropped Maddy off at school on Tuesday Avery and I ran some errands. We stopped and browsed the aisles at Hobby Lobby. Doesn't she just look ready to bake a cake!?

Dippidee Pirate Party...

Thursday Jamie and I took the kids to a "Pirate Party" at Dippidee (which is a local bakery.) It was fun attempting to find stuff in their closets to dress them up (we were pirates for Halloween four years ago but of course their costumes no longer fit them.) There was a little fish pond, face painting, pirate tattoos, coloring and a treasure hunt. We let the kids all pick out a cupcake before we left but we made them wait to eat them until after we had lunch at Chick-fil-A.

A sword for Maddy...

And a treasure chest for Avery... (the girl doing the painting was so sweet and let the kids pick out all the colors they wanted painted on.)

Steve flew out to California that afternoon for the weekend for a business trip (and I'm already a bit lonely) so the kids and I went to visit Brittney (and family) that evening. They usually come over on Sunday's for dinner and a movie but haven't for quite a while because they have a brand new baby and life has been crazy busy for us as well. We've really missed them so it was fun hanging out, catching up and of course holding her beautiful baby for a while. We are hoping to get together again sometime this weekend.
