Sleep-over with Chicken Pot Pie...GROSS!

Our sweet little Kenzie...
This morning she woke up, came into our room, and I noticed that her left check looked a little swollen. When I asked her to come closer to examine her check,

she said...."mommy this taste yuck!",
I said, "What taste yuck? What do you have in your mouth?",
she said, "That stuff....It's yuck"! It was then I realized what she meant.

The night before I had made chicken pot pie for dinner, I told her, that if she wanted to eat anymore Christmas candy she would need to finish her dinner (which she wasn't too fond of).

In her lengthy attempt to finish her dinner, she fell asleep on our couch and never finished eating her last bit of chicken pot pie. The poor girl slept all night with that in her mouth...so gross!

Fortunately, her mouth wasn't swollen, it just looked that way because of the pot pie being tucked into the side of her check.

After she spit out the pot pie we had a nice little chat about finishing our food before falling asleep, and then had a vigorous tooth brushing session.

The things you need to teach your kids, I NEVER would have thought!

It's a ?????

I was pretty certain we were having baby boy, but today our ultrasound showed that we are having a GIRL!! We are very excited for our 3rd addition. Mackenzie has decided that she will call her Emily. Dan and I have a few other names picked out so hopefully Kenzie won't be too upset with the name change when she is born.
Little missy is set to arrive March 8th, 2011. Hopefully she comes on time!!!!

Crazy Cakes!

Within a 2 week period, I've got Dan's, Mackenzie's, and Connor's birthday. Talk about timing, I think our next child needs a different birthday month. During this month baking, decorating, and eating cake rules our life. I can't stand the thought of cake after the 2 weeks. Every year I swear I won't make another time consuming crazy cake, but every year I can't resist! Don't look too closely (I'm still perfecting my frosting skills), this was Kenzie's Mini Mouse cake. It took me 4 hours to decorate it. And that doesn't include the baking time to make the cake.

Originally I made her bow out of a "fruit by the foot", but as time past the black die discolored the bow, and so I was forced to place a real bow over the top of it.

I made Connor his own personal Mickey Mouse cake, which he loved not just eating it, but squishing the frosting and cake between his fingers and throwing it on my Kitchen floor. Not to mention he loved tossing the cake plate on the floor and watching it shatter. (NOTE: Cake eating for small children should take place outside).
